FARC is bad… thanks for telling me water makes you wet and fire burns
I know it serves the best interests of the current goverment to have the citizens spontaneously stand up and march against FARC. I mean… they (FARC) make it really easy to be disliked by everyone by being the assholes, lying, murderous drug dealing thiefs they are and if the public opinion is being skewed by the media for this porpouse, let me tell you is not a hard job.
Yo se que sirve los mejores intereses del gobierno Colombiano que los ciudadanos se levanten espontaneamente contra las FARC. Es decir… ellos (Las FARC) hacen muy facil el trabajo de ser odiados siendo los asesinos, mentirosos, secuestradores, delincuentes que son y si los medios estan llevando a la gente en esta dirección, es un trabajo bastante facil dejenme decirles.
Lame political theories aside, there is one undisputed big winner in all this:
Politica aparte… hay un gran ganador en todo esto:

T-shirt makers.
Los comerciantes de camisetas.
They say 1 million people marched and i think they are right (from the photos). Let’s say only 25% bought the t-shirt, but i think that it was way more than that (from the photos). Each t-shirt was sold for COL$8.000-COL$10.000 (U$4-U$5) and it takes about half that to make them. 250.000 x COL$5.ooo profit= COL$1’250.000.000 (US$625.000) in one day! not bad at all.
Hagan la cuenta: Si cada camiseta se vendia por COL$10mil-COL$8mil (U$5-U$4) y solo cuesta la mitad de eso hacerlas. Digamos que salieron 1 millon de personas a protestar, y que 25% compro la camiseta. 250.000 x COL$5.ooo ganancia= COL$1’250.000.000 (US$625.000). Nada mal eh?
I must pay more attention next time and get in on this thing.
Me toca avisparme mas la proxima a ver si me meto al negocio de vender insumos para protestas.
Of course, as good bussinessmen as Colombians are they never think big. I mean, there was no “official” t-shirt and this freeloaders got theirs for free (look at picture bellow). Damn nerds, be real Colombians and BUY.
Claro, aunque Colombiano que se respete se cree muy buen negociante, en realidad nunca piensan “en grande”. Es decir… donde esta la camiseta “oficial”? (asi como hay linea oficial de “Pasión Colombia”). Y aun peor, algunos jipis se las arreglaron para ponerse la camiseta gratis. Malditos nerds la proxima vez sean Colombianos de verdad y COMPREN!
