So, is Jeff Wilkins a friend of yours? Either way, it's a nice bit of free advertising.
You've got to love headline writers. "An instant hot commodity" when "sales are slow". Hopefully the news speeds up sales.

It is a nice bit of free advertising. Kind of interesting to see it happen from the inside. We posted it on our neighborhood blog, told a larger Brooklyn blog, who posted about it. The Daily News saw it there and wrote about it. Gothamist saw it there, as did a couple of other sites and the local news. There was a short feature on Brooklyn 12, a channel only available on local Cablevision. There was also supposed to be a feature on WPIX (the local WB affiliate) but they never showed up (particularly annoying because I left work early for the interview.)KeithK

Among the comments:
"... a gaptoothed, couch potato Joey Ramone"
"Look at this fagala... send his candy a-s-s to the Golan Heights and put an M16 in his hand. Sick of these girly NY Jews who refuse/scared to serve in the Israeli army. Defend Your Homeland Coward!"
"Shouldn't the guy's shirt read "Brooklyn Jew (with a thing for Shiksas).""
"Great, a racial supremest t-shirt. Well, I guess it would be okay to support one's own folk, but I wonder if people would have the same reaction to a t-shirt reading, "Upper East Anglo-Saxons" or "Westchester Aryans"."
And I loved this exchange (on Gothamist):
"I can't wait to get my Brooklyn Non-Jew shirt. That's one I'd buy and wear with pride. I'm sure everyone would respect my choice to wear it, too."
- "Right because that's the exact same thing."
- "Nope, it's actually the opposite. But thanks for trying!"
- "So you were using what sounded like sarcasm but you were being serious. Thanks for not making sense!"

"....said Star, 38, a lawyer who is Jewish and moonlights as a standup comic."
Could you *be* any more of a stereotype?

Or, say, control of the means of production.
