OK, so the Olympics kicked off in spectacular fashion (although the parade of patriotic attire around the globe is uniformly corny), Paris Hilton has thrown her thong into the ring for the presidency (and for the first time in history she sets up a fabulous joke instead of being the butt of one) and the Jolie-Pitt twins Vivienne and Knox (I have to admit that I love the names) made their public debut in People.

Oh, yeah, and soon you’ll be able to buy my likeness on a lovely T-shirt or tank top available in styles for men, women and children (stock up for the holidays). Or, if you like you can buy the visage of Cindy Lee, Ruth Uneagubu, Will Perkins or any number of random citizens from around the globe.

Why? Well, now, that is where the love comes in. Every face is inspired by a real person. The company, Joy T- Shirt, encourages you pick a shirt at random and then whenever you wear it, they hope you will think about that person (no, not like a stalker). But isn’t it a lovely concept to use a shirt to think about how you everyday actions might affect or be effected by someone else (am I using affect and effect right, I can never tell).

Anyway, we live in a complex world and it would do us all a world of good to start thinking about one another a bit more. So when someone looks and says, “um, hey, who’s that on your shirt,” you can said this is Will, a 22-year-old from Canada or Cindy, a yogi from Hong Kong. And when they ask, “Why the heck did you buy a t-shirt with their face on it?” You can give them a deep philosophically profound answer that rings with cross-cultural truth like, “because it’s cool, darn it.”

After you purchase a shirt for about $30 you may then upload a photo of you so that some random stranger might buy it. An artistic version of your face will be drawn by hand and then worn on the hearts of others. Joy T-shirt wants to take “an active stance against racism and discrimination while being an advocate for peace and equality… because in someway or another, we are all connected.”

Awwwwww. OK, let’s resist the urge to join hands and sing, “We are the World.”
