I have...limits.
To assist...Stephen Reese...in his campaign...against the Filth Tube...I transferred my consciousness...across...the water-starved...desert landscape. A trying...endeavor.
It was worth...the toll taken...on my vegetable matter. I will not...tolerate...tyrants.
But worse...are those...who would capitalize...on the struggle.
I voiced my...concerns...when Reese chose to...commemorate our efforts...with...branded human clothing...drinking mugs...and...vehicle adhesives. Frankly...I am...grateful...not one...collectible...item...was sold.
Now I must...turn my attention...to similar...practices...in the world...at large. If...I was willing...to take a stand...in this isolated locale...I should strive for...consistency...abroad.
I can no longer...allow...products...such as the following...to continue existence.

Should...an enemy...wish confrontation...with me...they will not find it...in the form...of a punchable...sac of...plastic...a material...I object to...in principle.

This packaging...besides being harmful...to the environment...perpetuates lies. I am not...composed of chalk. My plant matter...could be shaped...to illustrative purpose...but I would more likely...choose the medium...of the pencil.
Which makes this...next item...so thoroughly...offensive...to my every...sensibility. That my image...could be used...to market...a device intended...to destroy a tool...already made manifest...through the destruction of forests...is more insult than...irony.
Still...I reserve...my greatest scorn...for the being who...secured double likenesses...of my head...to a pair...of children's...footwear.
This final violation...has solidified the goal...in my mind. I will leave the Sandbowl...to locate the perpetrators...of these crimes...and remove the fruit...of their unclean labors...from the surface of...my good Earth.
You may claim...vanity...is my motivator...but it cannot be argued...the presence of these objects...does not in any way...contribute to the betterment...of your life.

I am certain...blog owner...Stephen Reese...would disagree...with me. His...proclivity for useless...collectible trinkets...and plastic representations...of even an eco-god such as...myself...is inconsistent...with my own convictions.
For that reason...my departure...from the Mini Nerd...environs...is all the more appropriate.
Sincerely,
Swamp Thing
