Maybe now's not the right time to judge the idea, and let it roll for a while longer to see if the costs eventually recoup. It's a shame though, I really dug the idea.

They're not exactly in the best of financial condition right now... Last I checked, the GAP wasn't profiting from much in the first place.

'A portion will go to fighting AIDS in Africa'. Brilliant. It would be terrible to give all the money to AIDS in Africa ... Or hell, why not AIDS at home?
