Momo, the Canadian Ambassador of Freakerville wants to freak your feet as much as we do. (His human AndrewKnapp is A+ too! Thanks AK!) #FindMomo Earlier this week, we released a Freaker Public Service Announcement about how supporting American made products secures a bright future for Lady Liberty and all of her loving communities. Check it out here! Sure, domestic manufacturing is great for the economy, but is buying American Made good for the environment? YES. Absolutely yes. 100% YES. When we buy imported products, think of the journey they’ve taken to get to us. The unnecessary land and water use is immense. All of the extra packaging it requires is immense. Fuel usage and costs? Immense! The United States also has environmental and labor standards that make sure factories aren’t spewing Gak Poison into the air. It’s impossible to know what kind of unthinkable pollution we're supporting with imported products. Buying American Made products has the impact of a meteorite! …A really really nice meteorite, full of love, that’s coming to Earth to make everybody smile. 4 days left! Let’s do this! Love you!

There are 6 days left in our Kickstarter campaign and we need your help! We launched this campaign with big goals because we need to "go big" to make an impact in the import-dominated industry. We truly madly deeply believe that American Made matters. Earlier today, we circulated a Freaker Public Service Announcement about how much power you have with your dollar, and how the future is in your hands! Check it out here! We also added a new reward pledge to the Freaker Feet campaign! Feety Pablo - for a limited time only, $24 will get you 2 pairs of Freaker Feet and 2 matching Freakers! It's an incredible deal, so get it while the going is hot! Please please please share our campaign with your family and friends and internet family and internet friends. Let's team up and take over! We love you!

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!

Are you ready for some football? Are you ready for some 4 million dollar beer ads? Are you ready for nachos? Hotdogs? America? AMERICA. There is no better way to celebrate this defacto America Day than with American made goodness. Home of the brave, land of the freaks. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all of your support, love, and happy thoughts! May the odds ever be in your favor on game day. :)

  Let's be honest. Sometimes you find yourself rooting for the bad guy. Don't be ashamed. Even Obama admitted that Omar was the best character in The Wire. How many of you secretly wanted Walter White and Gus to drop the beef and become best friends for Team Awesome? FACT: Nobody watches Hannibal because they like Clarice. Frank Underwood. Dr. Evil. Mugato. Danny Trejo playing Danny Trejo. The shark that played Jaws. The asteroid in Armageddon. Ernie McKracken, anyone? Sometimes it feels good to be bad. Sometimes it smells good. And every now and then, it sure as hell tastes good. WHAT YOU'RE WINNING: We have 10 care packages to give away this week featuring gourmet beef jerky from Righteous Felon Jerky Cartel! There are four scandelous flavors of jerky - Victorious B.I.G., Che-Potlé Guevara, O.G. Hickory, and our office favorite, Habanero Escobar. Handmade in small batches, Righteous Felon exclusively uses quality natural ingredients and Black Angus Beef without the hormones, antibiotics, or preservatives you tend to find in mass produced snacks. They also donate a portion of all sales to The Innocence Project, which is a non-profit "national litigation and public policy organization dedicated to exonerating wrongfully convicted individuals through the use of DNA testing and reforming the criminal justice system to prevent future injustice." Righteous, indeed. Each winner gets 2 packs of Righteous Felon jerky and a Freaker of your choice! HOW TO ENTER: It's a two-fer today! Get on Facebook, share our Kickstarter link, then find this graphic and leave us a photo comment with your favorite villain for your chance to win! Winners announced in our Tuesday newsletter!

Conventional wisdom: Home is where the heart is. There's no place like home. Make yourself at home. Your home is your castle. Home is where the wifi automatically connects. 2015 wisdom: Home is also on your feet. Show your home the love and affection it deserves. We've made a Freaker Feet style for every state flag in the union! Check out the Greetings From line to get a sneak peek of your state's design. Spoiler alert: state flags are weird and wonderful! We can't wait to freak your feet! Happy Wednesday!

Last week we released Love Glove for the heart-loving, sweet-talking, cheerful optimists. We here at Freaker USA believe in equal opportunity though, so today we're pampering the cynics. You know who you are. You've declared war on mid-February. Your official Valentine's date is Charles Bukowski. You're going to Rascal Town. In a tub of whiskey. To watch Die Hard marathons. And it's going to be awesome. This one is for you, tiger. It's a big heart pooping little hearts. True romance, y'all. Ladies and gentlemen, give a warm welcome to the newest member of the Freaker Family... Love Stinks!

Oooh, buddies oh babies! There are two weeks left in the Freaker Feet Kickstarter campaign and we've started getting in production samples for the socks of dreams. There are 127 Freaker Feet designs in total, and they're divided up into 4 categories: Boutique, Football, Greetings From and Team Spirit! You: "What the bird is happening on the socks in the photo?" Freakerteam: "Well, Larry, that's an alpaca smoking a cigarette with laser eyes looking at a girl butt. It's called Alpacass. He's a rising star in the Boutique Line." You: "My life will never be the same. Thank you for everything you do, Alpacass." Alpacass: "You can always count on me, Larry!" And they all lived happily ever after. (Invite your friends to join the fun! Good things come to those who share Freaker Feet on their social platforms. It has been written. Okay love you bye!!)

  Sometimes the best gifts are experiences. Why send a box of chocolates when you could get into a slap boxing tournament with chocolate trophies? Why get your sweet treat a steak dinner when you could fly her to Mongolia to herd cattle for the weekend? (That's a pro tip. You're welcome.) Why buy a single rose when you could make a badass terrarium from space moss and magic root-less plants? Hhm? Don't worry. We're here to help. WHAT YOU'RE WINNING: We have five care packages to give away this week featuring DIY air plant terrarium kits from The Zen Succulent! We've always been fans of indoor rainforests, but fine folks at Zen Succulent (the cutest mother and daughter team you've ever seen) in Raleigh, NC have really knocked this one out of the water. We have five care packages to give away this week featuring DIY air plant terrarium kits from The Zen Succulent!

Yes, air plants are real plants. Yes, they are alive. Yes, they're super easy to take care of. Just spritz the little guy with tap water every 1-2 weeks! It sounds like a mouthful, but bear with me: each grab bag has an air plant (Tilliandsia), assorted reserved redindeer moss, preserved black lichen, black pebbles, and wood. All you need is to find a receptacle you find worthy, and arrange your mini-forrest to be as awesome as you are. The possibilities are endless!

Hi Friends! Let's get Reid from Criminal Minds on our Kickstarter feet team! We've composed a tweet for you to help us bombard the dear soul into doing a Zach Crain impression! Click here to tweet Reid! It has come to our attention that there is a parallel universe. In this hyper-sciencey dimension, there exists a criminal Investigation Unit much like our Hot Cop Spandex Investigation Unit. This parallel universe is called Criminal Minds - and yes, that sounds spookily close to the Freaker Minds in our video campaign. There is even a Zach Crain doppleganger character named Reid! We need to freak this Reid. We need to freak his Reid feet. We need you help in freaking his feet. We Reid your help. We've seen Zach Crain's Reid impression, but to make the circle complete, we would love to see Reid's Zach Crain impression. Everybody! We’ve composed a tweet to blast Reid with. All you have to do is click here and wah-lah! Magic! May the force be with you. Tweet Reid now!

Did you know that Valentines Day is only a couple weeks away? Don't find yourself in the doghouse (unless you're into that kind of thing) this year. Is there any better way to show your love and appreciation with a sweet cheers, cold drink and warm hands? Spoiler alert: No. No there is not. Ladies and gentlemen, give a warm welcome to the newest re-released member of the Freaker Family... Love Glove!   Tweet: WOO!
