Altruistic Intentions - or Bad Taste?

Personally, I have nothing against re-releasing a bath bomb named for a city in Thailand (Phuket) - with proceeds going to tsunami relief.

Yet, a few people consider it bad taste.

No, bad taste would be calling it "Tsunami Mami" or some other dreck-y, gimmick-y name.


Besides, I've never used the Phuket bomb ... so it'll be fun to try it - and even have the money go to a good cause. :-)

"Sometimes ya just gotta say Phuket!"

Now that's what I call an advertising byline!

Indeed!

Some of those people just don't say it enough - perhaps because it's too hard to get the Stick of Self-Righteousness out of one's ass when it's working as an ersatz spine! ;)

I've seen (and eaten) at Phuket before - and I assume that you're talking about the one at Divisadero and Haight, right?

Love SF - even the weather is pretty decent. :)
