Walking Billboards

Will over at A Suitable Wardrobe discusses a pet peeve of his and, as it turns out, mine as well: the proliferation of logoed wear:

I tried on a pair of Mephisto walking shoes once. They were very comfortable and I took a closer look. That was as far as it got. There on the side of the shoe was a label with the maker's name. On the outside of the shoe, mind you.

Ferchrissakes, I've already bought the fucking shirt, now I gotta advertise it with your logo all over my chest?  Like Will says, it's venial and wrong.  Mortally wrong.
