Team up for America!

6 days left! Over the past year we’ve worked really hard at trying to create more American jobs, and now we need your help. The Freaker Feet Kickstarter campaign is a big one, 127 sock designs and $250K is a lofty goal, but it’s what is needed to make a splash in an industry that usually outsources jobs even though we have the infrastructure here at home! If Freaker Feet were outsourced, you would only be helping ME and my Freakerteam make a living. But because we will be making them in America with companies that source from America, you’ll be helping at least 8 other companies, the people that work there, and their families, too. That’s not even counting all the different suppliers they use, like the farms where the cotton grows in Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama, Louisiana and Georgia! The 'people at the top' and the 'lack of jobs' we complain about, are the people and the problems we choose to support (or not to support!) every time we spend money. Do you support products that are made and sourced in the USA when you can, or companies that bypass all those American jobs and trample on our environment just to make a higher profit and save you a few bucks? We can change the world and our future buy changing where we spend our money. Back American made companies and create jobs! Do you see what we can do?!!! Those "big guys" we point fingers at, but at the same time we wait for them to change things because we’ve convinced ourselves that they have all the power and we have none… we can shift the power and force them to change, just by changing where we spend our money. America, it’s time to come together and support America!! Every time you buy something, imagine it’s journey to get to you...if it involves traveling across an ocean when you can get it American-made, then put it back! We live in the internet world and can spread mass thoughts and feelings and turn them into actions faster than ever before! Please, share this, comment, email it, smoke signal it, whatever you can do!! I love you America and extend a million internet hugs to you! Please team up with us!! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/freakerusa/freaker-feet-127-usa-made-sock-designs Overflowing with love, Zach Crain!

Americanada!

We usually announce the winners of Freaker Friday exclusively in our Tuesday newsletter. Today is special. Last week we asked you to share with us the most American thing you could find.  Is there a better way to celebrate Canada Day than praising extreme American patriotism? (Spoiler Alert: No. No there is not.) Without further ado, we present some of the most American Freaker Friday submissions of the past week:

We get it now!

The USA is notorious for many things, including an intense love for hotdogs, the Fast & Furious film series, and our uncanny talent of "not giving a shit about the World Cup."  It's an insane skill, and a rare one.  For a brief moment earlier this week we failed at this thing we're suppose to be so good at. We failed by winning. Do you know how good it feels to win? It feels this good:    We won we won we won! More importantly... we cared! Keep it up, boys!   (Video stolen from the Wilmington Hammerheads! Photo stolen from GeeGaryGreg! Dignity stolen from Ghana!)

Government Shutdown Sale!

We like living on the edge. Evidently, so do our elected officials. (See - they really are representative!) When the government went into shutdown-mode last week, we expected to see more unruly riots, more bankers headbanging to The Sex Pistols, more utopian gardens. Any anarchic fantasies we had were quickly smashed like the windows in our dreams. A week has passed.  It's officially time to take matters into our own hands and make an ultimatum with the American people - from now until the government turns back on, 9 select styles will be on sale! Because that is what true anarchy looks like, y'all.

And the victor is..

For the last week, in-office fighting has been a fiery battle of rage over the re-naming of our beloved American Flag Freaker. We asked communities, took polls, attempted blackmail, and almost turned World Freaker Headquarters into a steaming pile of knit fury. Well, the end is finally here, my little nuggets. And the victor is....

The Evolution of Cuppow!

This was a match made in heaven for Freaklovers everywhere - coffee in a sippy-cup mason-jar is all fun&games until a series of unfortunate events stemming from your hands getting too hot lead to your eyeballs getting accidentally poked out. FREAKERS TO THE RESCUE. What a rosy world.
