DON’T MESS WITH LOUIS
Louis Vuitton is
suing a Danish artist who used one of the company’s famous purses in a drawing to protest Darfur and point out how the media prioritize - choosing to focus on Paris Hilton, for example, rather than the genocide going on in Africa.
“Originally, they wanted $7,500,” said Designers for Darfur founder Malcom Harris, who’s defending Plesner’s project. “After she placed the cease-and-desist letter on her Web site, that went up. Every time she uses their name on her Web site she’s charged an additional $7,500 a day. So at the current rate, she’s being charged $20,000 a day.”
With all these big lawsuits and even bigger attorney fees, it seems the only ones who are not seeing a pretty penny are the ones who deserately need it — the impoverished citizens of Darfur!

Why is china not blamed for giving the arms with which genocide is being committed.Why does the US have to police and feed the whole damn planet.
“With all these big lawsuits and even bigger attorney fees, it seems the only ones who are not seeing a pretty penny are the ones who deserately need it — the impoverished citizens of Darfur!” - Couldn’t have said it better myself! What a damn shame!!
You can order the t-shirt from nadiaplesner.com site. I’m doing it right now.
good for them now maybe her stank behind will go away and hide that ole long nose that looks like a penis… and that flat ironing board butt!!!
What’s the point of spending money a stupid shirt, the money will not help the people who need it, it just lands on the hands of the oppressive government. If it were as easy as buying a shirt or sending money the US could have solved the whole world’s problems……idiots.
The worlds problems are much more complicated that just sending money you morons, read up on geopolitics.
Anon 12:40, Because the US has been raping and pillaging the world for 50 years!!! and it is paying for it!!
The money will help the people who need it because it goes to the UN or the Red Cross. No one gives money to the government because they know that they are the ones responsible.
Or some other aid organization that provides food or medical care. You shouldn’t be putting down others when you don’t even know what the hell you’re talking about.
The United Nations is the most corrupt organization ever how naive to trust them, the american red cross is a lot better but many times struggle to get direct access to the needy .
They may be inefficient but they’re not just giving money to the Sudanese government. Since the government wont take action it’s better to give money than to do nothing at all.
the UN needs to tell China to stop the shit but they won’t cause their being PAID OFF.
CANADA EH HAVE YOU MISSED THE LIBERATION OF EUROPE FROM HITLER .
To Anonymous 1….who said anything about the US or maybe Louis Vuitton is now a property of the US? Nobody asked you to feed the whole damn planet as so you put it…stop reading blogs and go get a book! You might understand things better….
fucking asshole.
hey girl, that’s awesome! I was just going to post that I wish it was a T-shirt, I’d buy one. thanks for the info.
I don’t think this was necessary. Just because you buy a Louis Vuitton bag does not mean you don’t care about world issues. It’s just two totally different things and using guilt and making people feel bad by buying themselves a bag is not the way to go about promoting the issues in Darfur. I can see the point they are trying to make, but not everybody is like Paris Hilton. I would be pissed if I were Louis Vuitton.
god people!!!!! It is not about fkn LV!!!
It is about Darfur!
Yeah…poor fkn marc jacobs!

Talking about priorities!
there is genocide in burma, china, north Korea why is darfur the cause celebre? Actually the propogation of jihad is of more concern to real thinking people.
liberal guilt thinks everything fire can be solved by throwing money at it.
