Z Connector: Fusing Fashion and Safety

2011-10-11T10:51:00.000-07:00

We have all seen the reports on the rising number of thefts of our precious iPods, iPhones, mp3 players and other mobile devices. Whether its on a subway, a bus, a plane, the mall or even if it's your own couch cushion to blame, our mobile devices are targets for theft. What’s worse is that replacing these devices is no easy chore. It costs extra to get the devices insured, and often that very insurance doesn’t fully replace a lost or stolen item. Then it takes hours of waiting on the phone just to find out the disappointing news that the item won’t be replaced and it will cost a ba-gillion dollars to replace it. Often, we can't even replace our beloved mobile device because of the rabbit paced evolution of technology which leaves a newer and more expensive version of what we want to be replaced as the only option.

Additionally, when we buy our mobile devices, we consistently search for accessories to add to them because we like to make them our own. We feel a sort of connection to our devices, which makes sense; they are with us more than infants are with their mothers. These additions range anywhere from plastic cover screens, to big bulky clips on so we can keep track of it. Unfortunately, most of these clip-ons, cases and pouches don’t look cool and don’t let you carry the phone where you want it most; in your pocket! Fortunately though, for those accessory and style hounds out there that want to keep up on the latest innovative accessories, the Z-connector has arrived.

The Z-connector is a stylish chain that connects to your mobile device and hooks to various articles, including clothing, purses and really just about anything you would want to hook it on to. With gold and silver chains of various designs, the Z-connector brings classic fashion into fission with modern technology. Just as people had elegant and beautiful chains attached to their pocket watches, for style and security, the Z-connector provides both as well. Let’s see a thief try to snatch your previous hand-held devices with a silver or gold chain attached to it. Not happening.

With the Z-connector we finally have an accessory that keeps your phone or mp3 player in your pocket, but without you having to worry about sticky hands getting a hold of it while you’re not looking. Bringing the fashion element is crucial as well. Who doesn’t enjoy an extra draping of shining gold or silver around them? Rather than a bulky, ugly clip on carrier case, feel just as safe, if not more, with the Z-connector, providing you the ultimate connection with your phone or mobile device.

Court Story Communications Retains TransMedia Group to Tell Its Own Story to Prospective Law Firm Clients in Florida

2011-08-31T12:47:00.000-07:00

Court Story Communications, a New York-based public relations firm that specializes in representing law firms, has retained TransMedia Group to make it more widely known in litigious areas like Florida.

"Our publicity will position Court Story Communications (www.courtstory.com) as a firm led by an attorney dedicated to obtaining media exposure for other attorneys looking to raise their profile nationally," said Transmedia CEO Tom Madden.

Florida-based Transmedia (www.transmediagroup.com) described Court Story president Olivier Gibbons as an astute attorney who was a reporter at such publications as the The Palm Beach Post and worked as a journalist at broadcast media before starting his own firm.

Gibbons said TransMedia is the ideal PR firm to represent Court Story outside of New York because TransMedia is known in legal circles, particularly in Florida, for having helped so many clients to become famous in their respective areas.

According to TransMedia, the publicity campaign on behalf of Court Story will underscore how Gibbons fully understands and respects the critical nature of privileged and confidential communications.

According to Madden, publicity that extols the virtues of a PR practitioner and stresses how one PR firm is more proficient than others in a particular field benefits the whole profession.

"When One PR firm casts a colleague in a positive light, it raises the publicity bar in a way that benefits the entire public relations profession," he said.

About Court Story Communications

Court Story actively promotes legal clients as authorities and experts in their respective fields and arranges interviews for them in such national media as AP and Bloomberg as well as in legal trade publications, from American Lawyer to Asian Legal Business Magazine.

"Law firms too often send out news releases that only masquerade as news whereas TransMedia will show how Court Story makes law firms and their experts newsworthy," Gibbons said.

About TransMedia Group

TransMedia Group is a full-service, multi-lingual firm serving clients worldwide since 1981 from offices in Boca Raton, London, and Paris.

Cleaning for Cancer

2011-04-11T09:50:00.000-07:00

TransMedia Group welcomes aboard new client, Cleaning for Cancer! The nonprofit organization is headquartered in Boca Raton, FL, but provides free residential cleaning services to cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy nationwide.

Nadege Desravines, president and founder of Cleaning for Cancer, decided to start the nonprofit when she discovered that there were so many cancer patients out there who were too weak to keep up with the daily nuances of life, including cleaning their homes. Desravines, 24 years old from Haiti, lost both grandmothers to cancer. Determined to offer her services to patients nationwide, Desravines partnered with residential cleaning companies throughout the country that have agreed to help at least three patients going through chemotherapy and/ or radiation treatment by cleaning their home once a month for a three month period.

Cleaning for Cancer understands that a cancer diagnoses is a life changing experience that affects patients and their families. The goal of the charity is to give the patients dealing with their diagnosis a clean home once a month at no cost so they can focus on their recovery during a difficult time.

Salon Ratay Raises Funds for Double-Lung Transplant Patient

2011-03-30T08:37:00.000-07:00

The fabulous Salon Ratay in Lake Mary, FL hosted a Cut-A-Thon Fundrasier last Monday evening to raise funds for a double-lung transplant patient.

Diane Fields has battled allergic bronchopulminary aspergillosis, a condition that has irreversibly scarred her lungs and caused pulmonary fibrosis and bronchiectasis. Diane was diagnosed at the age of 15 and has been dealing with her disease ever since. After years of struggle, she now relies on an oxygen tank for every breath. Doctors say a double-lung transplant is her only hope for a second chance at life. Diane, a retired nurse, has been married to Michael for 31 years and has 4 children.

Diane's relative is a client at Salon Ratay, and upon hearing the news, owner Sherry Ratay decided to pitch in and offer deeply discounted $20 haircuts as a fundraiser for Diane. 100% of the funds raised were donated to the National Transplant Foundation in Diane Fields honor.

The Economic Costs of Charlie Sheen’s Wild Life Style

2011-03-15T12:24:00.000-07:00

Charlie Sheen’s epic meltdown has dominated America’s asinine media conversation for the past few weeks. Charlie has never been a bigger celebrity than he is now as he runs around creating new words for the English language (tigerblood, biwinnning), garnering millions of twitter followers and appearing on multiple media outlets...

FORMER NBC EXECUTIVE INVENTS RESTAURANT CONCEPT FOR CHARLIE SHEEN, WHERE GODDESSES WILL WAIT ON YOU

2011-03-14T09:40:00.000-07:00

Boca Raton, Fl - - TransMeida Group, a public relations firm based in Florida, has come up with an idea for Charlie Sheen that could probably return more money than CBS owes him - a restaurant chain called Charlie Sheen Restaurants, "where godesses will wait on you" - and has even registered the domain http://www.charliesheenrestaurant.com/.

TransMedia's CEO, a former programming VP for NBC, thinks that it could be big money-maker and therapy for Sheen. Madden says if Sheen participates he has investor interest and it could be a slam dunk investment.

Madden, a product inventor, said he even has the cutlery for the restaurant, which he recently patented called the Knife and Forklift, a combination of dumbbell and utensils that functions as training wheels for overeaters. He said they could be included in the restaurant concept, to help fight food addiction and rapid eating that is contributing to America's obesity epidemic.

"We need to stop treating our digestive tracts as racing tracks," Madden says. "It is time for Sheen to take advantage of those million-plus Twitter followers and lead them in to the promised restaurant land."

The Oscars: Red Carpet Jewelry Recap

2011-03-02T08:07:00.001-08:00

Red Carpet Recap by top South Florida gemologist, Richard Resnik of Raymond Lee Jewelers (www.raymondleejewelers.net) with locations in Boca Raton and Boynton Beach. Richard goes on to break down the two main trends he predicted for the Oscar’s red carpet based on the Golden Globes: ballerina or bombshell.

The Oscars: Red Carpet Jewelry Recap

The Golden Globes Awards were a strong indication of what we could expect from this year’s Academy Awards. As previously predicted the two main looks for women this year was a choice of two extremes, one was either a Ballerina or Bombshell. Jewelry choices remained simple with a ‘less is more.’ Bracelets and earrings were the main focus along with bare shoulders and necklines.

The following actresses stood out amongst the red carpet pack and their style has been graded on a scale of 0-4 Diamonds.

Oscar Host and future Cat Woman star Anne Hathaway, channels her inner Grecian Goddess in a gorgeous white beaded gown, accessorizing with sparkling diamond studs and a wide diamond bracelet, as the first of her many looks. In her second to last look of the evening she stuns with a royal blue metallic gown and sapphire drop earrings.
Grade 4 Diamonds.

Best Actress Winner Natalie Portman simply glows in her plum colored Verdarte gown and gorgeous Tiffany and Co. ruby tassel earrings.
Grade 4 Diamonds
Best Actress Nominee Jennifer Lawrence was the first star to grace the red carpet this evening and is a true bombshell in the making with her bright red figure flattering gown and simple gold bangle. While she is completely devoid of jewelry with the exception of the gold bangle she successfully avoided the pitfall most first timers make and doesn’t look like she is playing “dress up”
Grade 2 Diamonds

Best Supporting Actress Winner Melissa Leo- House of Mirrors or House of Horrors? This Marc Bower mishap is like looking into the sun- look at it straight on and you’ll go blind. She accents her outfit with simple drop earrings and an unimpressive pendant that like her dress, falls flat.
Grade 1 Diamond

Best Supporting Actress Nominee Amy Adams is never afraid of color. The radiant redhead is stunning in a navy beaded gown. I firmly believe redheads look best with a little bit of green to contrast with their fiery locks and she is no exception, as done so here with a gorgeous Cartier Jade pendant.
Grade 2 Diamonds

Black Swan’s Mila Kunis continues to carry off the ballerina style with a lacy periwinkle gown and simple forward facing hoops and pave diamond bangles.
Grade 2 Diamonds

And I am telling you……you look amazing! Best Supporting Actress Winner for her performance in Dreamgirls, Jennifer Hudson has undergone an amazing transformation and she shows it off in her Tangerine gown with long drop earrings.
Grade 4 Diamonds.

Cate Blanchette- As much as I loved the movie Alice in Wonderland and it inspired a whole number of gowns this year I am left with a feeling of Alice in What-the-hell? However from the neck up she is stunning as always
Grade 1 Diamond

Scarlett Johansson has redeemed herself from her Golden Globes fiasco and is simply gorgeous in her Amethyst Lace Gown by Dolce and Gabbana and amazing cocktail ring
Grade 2 Diamonds

Marisa Tomei is a true bombshell in her navy satin gown and bold choice of earrings. The wide link gold bracelet really sets her apart from the others.
Grade 2 Diamonds.

Helena Bonham Carter is usually a target for the fashion police, but this year, she teamed up with costume designer Colleen Atwood to create a Victorian inspired look, accented with beautiful drop earrings. The diamond brooch in her hair is a beautiful touch.
Grade 3 Diamonds

Was that Michelle Williams or Mia Farrow on the red carpet? The girl is simply stunning with her pixie cut and diamond cluster earrings
Grade 1 Diamond

A post-baby Penelope Cruz is the epitome of a ‘red carpet beauty’ with her ruby red gown and chandelier earrings.
Grade 3 Diamonds

Last year’s Best Actress winner Sandra Bullock is red hot in Vera Wang. She accents her look with simple diamond earrings and beautiful tennis bracelet.
Grade 3 Diamonds.

Halle Berry also redeems herself from a Golden Globes mishap by arriving in a Marchesa gown and vintage diamond jewelry.
Grade 3 Diamonds

Dame Helen Mirren chose Tahitian Pearl and Diamond earrings to accent her gown, which matches the color perfectly.
Grade 4 Diamonds.

Gwyneth Paltrow shines in her silver Calvin Klein dress and makes a bold statement with multi-color artisanal earrings and by placing a brooch on her hip to accent her look.
Grade 3 diamonds.

Happy Holidays!!

2010-12-21T07:37:00.000-08:00

To Our Valued Clients and to the Media to whom we're dedicated surrogates:

Well, 2010 draws to an exciting close for TransMedia Group as we break one of the biggest financial stories of the year, the launch of the GOLD to go™ Vending Machine in the U.S., we'd like to share some highlights of where we’ve been, and insights into where we are headed.

First, from all indications, that heading we're experiencing is definitely and dramatically up. The last few months we've signed a record number of new clients seeking publicity campaigns for an array of new products and services, everything from a new energy drink for diabetics, the remarkable achievements of a world-renowned designer and a new technology that will allow thousands of entrepreneurs to talk privately to a top expert in their field who'll advise them on the best way to grow their respective businesses.

The global economy that was so precarious just a year ago seems to have steadied itself, bringing with it a degree of calm across most financial markets and greater confidence among business executives. So I don't think I'm cock-eyed when I say I'm optimistic that our economy has turned a corner and is heading now in the right direction.

At TransMedia Group, where we've been serving clients worldwide since 1981, we've had the pleasure of working with outstanding athletes, including Olympic Gold Medalist Dara Torres, whom we booked on some of the top TV shows in the country, including Regis and Kelly, to talk about Fitness Nutrition's Gold Medal Aminos.

We generated over $3 million worth of media exposure for Stanley Steemer International and publicized a former U.S. Marine's "Ride For The Pride" in which he rode a bicycle from Pensacola, Florida to Sun Stadium to raise awareness and scholarship funds for the children of Marines Killed in Action.

O'Dwyer's cited us as one of the top 20 firms in the country in technology and among the top 40 in celebrity and fashion PR. PR Week praised our placements in national publications such as The Star and Politico.com as "Critical Hits" for a leading hair transplant surgeon.

All through 2010, TransMedia Group has expanded its staff, including hiring more Portuguese-speaking publicists to work on PR campaigns we're currently conducting for client PuntoMio and its partner BrandsMart in Brazil as well as a similar campaign in Mexico.

It was also the year of The Social Network, Twitter, and Facebook that our publicists are using now so effectively to complement all of our other PR channels. It was also the year that brought my own invention, The Knife and Forklift, to the forefront of national media, including appearances on Today Show, Ellen DeGeneres and articles in Fitness Magazine and LA TIMES.

And now we cap the year with the launch of the first GOLD to go™ Vending Machine in the U.S., which is making front-page headlines across the country and leading off countless TV newscasts while sending waves of exposure across the Internet.

On behalf of everyone at TransMedia Group, I’d like to extend the simplest of messages: Thank you for your faith in us. Our firm enjoys 30 years of excellence in PR and we are proud to be able to serve every one of our clients. Your feedback is a fundamental part of our process, and we encourage you to keep it coming.
Our best wishes for a safe and happy holiday season, and a prosperous and Newsworthy New Year.

Sincerely,
Thomas J.Madden
Founder and CEO

Pregnant? Boy or Girl? Know 10 weeks sooner!!

2010-12-08T09:41:00.000-08:00

The most anticipated moment for most parents is the gender of their child. Usually it takes about 20 weeks to get an Ultrasound that will reveal the gender of the baby. Well, it just so happens that two working moms, fasicinated about learning the gender of their developing babies, felt that there had to be a way to bridge the gap between conception and the long awaited Ultrasound. After an extensive amount of research and development, entrepreneurial spirit, engaged chemists, scientists and engineers, a world class organization formed to create IntelliGender, the world's first in-home, urine based Gender Prediction Test. In just 10 weeks (8 weeks post conception), this afforable, simple-to-use urine test will provide in minutes the gender of your baby based upon an easy to read color match. Green indicates boy and orange indicates girl!

The testimonials from pregnant women exemplify the positive experience from these results: "All I have to say is WOW! I was pretty skeptical about the results when I did this test in my 10th week of pregnancy. I just had my sonogram done November 8th and the test was right!! We're having a BOY!!!! I will strongly recommend Intelligender to all my pregnant friends!!' - Stella Aponte

What are you waiting for? Know what you are carrying before the baby bump! The test is simple, affordable, and fun. With a accuracy rate that averages around 90%, expectant mothers yearning to know any information possible about their future bundles of joy can now find the IntelliGender Prediction Test at larger retailers including Walgreens, Target, CVS/Pharmacy, and Rite-Aid, and online at http://www.intelligender.com/.

Something to Bark About!

2010-11-16T07:35:00.000-08:00

Whether you have a Great Dane or a Teacup Yorkie, “Kona’s Chips” will certainly get some tails-a-waggin’. Freshly stamped with a Made in USA certification seal, “Kona’s Chips” are providing us with not only the best for our four legged friends, but also the best for our country: A simple formula, these treats are jerky based made from premium 100% USDA inspected sliced chicken breasts and what’s simply scrumptious about them is that they are All-American; produced in America, processed in America, packaged in America, and sold to American pet owners. Now little Fluffy can be fed like a King!

The product came about after the creator’s dog, Kona, got seriously ill from pet treats that were made abroad. Fast-forward to today, and her pooch is healthy as a button and she has turned this bad experience around into the success story of “Kona’s Chips”.

The testimonials from pet owners illustrate the positive buzz about these treats: "I received the sample treats and Maddie went nuts! She did the 'Happy Havanese' dance! Thanks for making a safe, healthy product that I can feel good about giving to my furry friend." (Michelle, Florida)

“Kona’s Chips” are deliciously delectable for our pets, but also a way for us to come together as Americans and support American-Made products which is the ultimate stimulus for jobs and our economy. Surely that is enough to make anyone go “Woof!”

Where Were Your Jeans Born?

2010-11-15T10:38:00.000-08:00

You don't get much more American than owning a pair of blue jeans. However, in a time where it is more cost-effective to outsource production overseas, you'd be surprised at how few pairs of jeans are produced in the USA. That is, until The All American Clothing Company came up with their "traceability" factor.

The All American Clothing Company is the first jean company in the world to allow the consumer to trace their jeans all the way back to the American farmers who grew the cotton used in production of their products.

The "traceability" of these jeans allows one to know the TRUTH about where their jeans came from as well as recognize the hard-working Americans who are involved in the production process.

Each jean comes with a ‘Certificate of Authenticity’ that includes a traceability number. Simply enter the traceability number on the All American Clothing website (http://www.allamericanclothing.com/) to find out exactly which farmers and mill were involved in producing your jean!

The All American Clothing Company offers their customers the opportunity to purchase high quality, comfortable, American-made clothing. Like most American success stories, they started as a small business, but thanks to the many loyal customers with a strong sense of patriotism, they now produce thousands of jeans each year!

The All American Clothing Company allows the opportunity for proud Americans to support their country and wear All American Clothing!

What's Your Hair IQ?

2010-10-19T07:13:00.000-07:00

Dr. Larry Shapiro turned a lot of heads when he released his list that rated which celebrities have the best and worst hair.

Celebrities were rated using Dr. Shapiro’s “Hair IQ Score” (http://www.hairiqscore.com/) which takes into consideration health, shine, body, texture, color, amount and presentation of hair.

Topping the list were Ellen DeGeneres, Hugh Jackman and Jennifer Anniston who each scored a 9 out of a possible 10. At the bottom of the list were Lindsey Lohan, David Letterman and, of course, Donald Trump.

“Hair IQ” stands for the hair’s Ideal Quotient. There should be a good balance of health, body and shine, for example, for a candidate to receive a high Hair IQ score.

Dr. Shapiro believes that a celebrity’s hair is probably their most distinguishable feature.

"When you see Jennifer Aniston, it's almost impossible not to get caught up in the beauty of her hair. And you might say the opposite about celebrities like The Donald, whose hair has become almost a ludicrous logo," he said.

Dr. Shapiro has performed over 11,000 micro-minigraft/follicular unit hair restoration surgery procedures. He was also the first doctor in the southern part of the country to specialize in “micro-mini grafts,” allowing him to develop his hair treatment to a state of the art procedure.

He recently launched a line of Help Hair™ (http://www.helphair.com/) products, which include a vitamin-rich, hair-friendly nutritional protein supplement shake to combat weight loss and muscle development programs that are good for the body but bad for hair. Many fitness programs conflict with proper hair care and can actually lead to hair loss.

Help Hair™ products are sold in Whole Foods stores. Like Dr. Shapiro asks, “Why lose hair when you lose weight?”

Never Forget to Take Your Medication Again

2010-09-15T09:05:00.000-07:00

It never fails. No matter how many prescriptions we have had in our lifetime, we all share the same problem. The thing we have the most difficulty with is remembering when to take our pills.

But, thanks to Henry Ford Health System, remembering when to take our pills has gotten a lot easier.

Henry Ford Health System has teamed up with Rexam and Med Time Technology in creation of “The Pill Timer.”

The Pill Timer gives both audio and visual alerts at prescribed intervals, notifying the consumer that it is time to take their next pill. Never again will someone have to worry about keeping track of when to take their next dosage. It’s the first Medication Management device designed for the pharmacist to show consumers how to program at the point when they pick up their prescription.

In addition to the medical benefits of taking medicine on time, staying on schedule will benefit you financially. According to Ian Shendale, the CEO of Med Time, being admitted to the hospital could cost anywhere between $5,000 and $7,000 and an Emergency Room visit caused by medication errors could cost up to $500.

The Pill Timer will be distributed at Henry Ford flagship locations in Michigan.

Check out The Pill Timer on ABC News! http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=9873907

Lock your fears away with the Ultimate Lock!

2010-07-12T10:37:00.000-07:00

Miami, FL… 417,122. This amount represents the total number of reported robberies in the area (http://www.neighborhoodscout.com/fl/crime/). How safe do you feel in your city?

Captain Ron Daniels may be able to settle your fears with his creation of the Ultimate Lock. The lock contains four degrees of protection and, according to Daniels, it is stronger than any other deadbolt sold in stores.

The Ultimate Lock can withstand up to 4,000 lbs. It can’t be kicked in or rammed. (Just ask J.T. Boyer, an investor of the lock, who broke his knee trying to kick a door in with the lock installed.) It can’t be bump keyed or picked. It can work without a deadbolt and is endorsed by law enforcements, NASA and ALOA. Did I mention the 10 year warranty?

So how does it work? First the Ultimate Lock contains extra long screws to be used on your hinges. These screws are drilled into the door frame in opposite directions at 30 degree angles making your door become a brick wall. If your door is being kicked in the screws will bend into the frame in such a way to increase the amount of force the door can withstand.

The anti-bump key feature makes picking your lock virtually impossible with its six-pin bump protection rather than the average four.

The Ultimate Lock also contains a lockout mode where a person can push a button from the inside of the home and it will deactivate the locking mechanism from the lock, therefore preventing the door from being unlocked.

With the Ultimate Lock’s double deadbolt unit you’ll never worry about a home invasion again. And stop double checking if you locked the door. The Ultimate Lock’s secondary security lock protrudes slightly across the door frame making it easy to see that your door is locked from 40 feet away!

With all these amazing features the Ultimate Lock is a one-of-a-kind lock that is guaranteed to keep your home and your family safe!

Check out this demonstration video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbvSXaSYkq4

The Ultimate Lock is available at all Lowe’s stores for around $175 and can be installed by Pop-A-Lock, just call (800) POP-A-LOCK or visit their website http://www.popalock.com/.

Copper Canyon Grill--a great place for a delicious meal

2010-06-23T13:09:00.000-07:00

Copper Canyon Grill is a great place to gather and enjoy American cuisine served in a low-key, yet upbeat atmosphere.The menu includes the famous mouth-watering rotisserie chicken, as well as home-made meatloaf, Ahi tuna, skillet-baked cornbread fired with fresh jalapeno and Serrano peppers, pulled BBQ Pork (or Chicken) Sandwich, and the legendary baked potato soup. But by far, the incredible Maryland-style Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes are just about the best (and certainly the most authentic!) in Boca Raton. And don’t miss the awesome desserts, including a spectacular Chocolate Uprising, and slow-baked Bread Pudding with Grand Marnier cream custard...all to die for!

CC Grill is located on NW Executive Center Circle, right off of Glades Road
Head on over for lunch, dinner and happy hour or late night dining and you will be in for a treat!

Save our beaches and let it be known… BP Blows

2010-06-23T09:03:00.000-07:00

Did you know… 60,000 barrels of oil are believed to be gushing into the Gulf from the BP spill. 102 school gymnasiums could theoretically be filled floor-to-ceiling with oil from the spill. 11 workers are missing or presumed to be dead from the explosion. 400 wildlife species are threatened by the oil spill. 25 million birds cross the Gulf Coast per day and are potentially at risk. 27 offshore Gulf drilling operations have been approved since the BP spill. 2 of those were awarded to BP. $1.6 billion is the confirmed cost of the Gulf oil spill to BP, as of June 14, 2010. (http://www.thedailygreen.com/environmental-news/latest/gulf-of-mexico-oil-spill-facts)

Join in the fight to cleanup the mess BP has started. The BP Blows.com Campaign started with one’s man frustration with BP’s dismal efforts to restore the Gulf. Wes Spicer decided it was time to take a stand and express his outrage. Thus, the bpBlows.com t-shirt was born.

You can purchase your bpBlows.com t-shirt at http://www.bpblows.com/ for just $9.95. A portion of the proceeds will go to wildlife rescue and environmental groups working on oil spill cleanup efforts. The message on the t-shirt is straight forward and to the point so the public can vent its anger with BP. If BP won’t do anything about this it’s up to us.

Still not convinced, see for yourself how serious this oil spill is at http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2F2010%2FUS%2F04%2F29%2Finteractive.spill.tracker%2Findex.html&h=5efb1Z66fWOccuYMtpT7Nud9RuA

The BP Blows.com Campaign gives the public a chance to make a statement and a difference.
