Cool Waste of Time - Shopping Cart Abuse Must Stop!

by , 11:00 AM EST, March 28th, 2002

If you've ever been bothered by the heartwrenching image of a shopping cart in distress, but didn't know where to turn or how to speak out, here's your soapbox. The Center for Shopping Cart Abuse Prevention documents the horrifying cart abuses that are all-too-unnoticed in today's society.

"We work on the local, the national, the international level and beyond to fight abusers who are trying to undermine fundamental pillars of society. Our site is here to help you understand this unspoken threat, to offer counsel to those who cause harm to the Cart and to sing the praises of the silver chariot of the parking lot."

And this isn't any fancy-talk-and-no-action site, either: the Center's Web site names names, with photos and documentary evidence of cart violence from their extensive files, and a Top 10 list of the main offenders. If you want to take action in your neighbourhood, or simply want to let your friends know about this invaluable resource, there's a veritable smorgasbord of activist tools, from eCards to a confessional for those of us who have sinned in the past and wish to stand up and admit we've been wrong.

Big thanks to Observer Jerry Walter, who insists he's not a time-waster at all. Do you have a great way to decrease your productivity? Do your fellow slackers a favor and let us know about it!
