Summer
is finally here and many people find themselves
shedding their cloth skins and traveling to the
ocean. This yearly quest of mankind to seek a large
body of water is a great way to spend a weekend
and to mentally recharge one’s batteries.
Large bodies of water are what a weary brain needs
to relax and enjoy the sweltering summer days. Too
often people forsake the bounds of good taste when
selecting their swimwear and don an outfit that
straddles the divide of bad taste and "too
much information". Most notably is the dreaded
"Banana Hammock".
Spiedo, a future minded company, in attempt to bring
the words into the common vernacular have released
their own "Banana Hammock”; a sleek,
lightweight, versatile banana peel beach hammock.
Spiedo harvests the husks of genetic super bananas
and treats them with the chemical preservatives
RINEOFOB. The product of this is a fuzzy perpetually
cool pouch that you can hang anywhere on the beach.
The Quick Whip™ function makes unsheathing
the hammock virtually effortless. Now you can easily
relax and enjoy the day in comfort. Speidos aim
in this daring naming is to make “Banana Hammock”
a household name. By turning "Banana Hammock"
into the brand name associated with all hammocks,
the slang word of middle class white kid for the
school bus and the name of a Norwegian pop-ska band.
Spiedo hopes to induce a climate where the beach
epidemic of the original banana hammock can be discussed
in the open. This problem must be addressed, but
before this alteration can be made the public must
be prepared.
The Axis of Stevil supports Spiedo and the PBC (progressive
beach-ware coalition). If we work together we can
keep pour beaches safe.
