Tourist Crap

Because I live in San Francisco I see tourist crap everywhere I go. But lately, I've been paying more attention to it. I read somewhere that SF brings in roughly $14M each day in tourist revenue. I wonder what percent of that are cheeky T-shirts, mugs with silly phrases on them, and key chains that live for a few years in the junk drawer before they get sent to the dump.

We are all guilty of buying this crap and we wonder how we'll ever recover from our trade deficit with China. Like a proud parent, there must be someone who smiles when they see this stuff, knowing how much it has lined their pockets.

Here is a prime example of tourist crap. Enjoy.
