I would not work for:
Manufacturers of items small enough that might cause
an infant to choke.
Companies that manufacture any substance or material
which, if used inappropriately, might cause sickness
or death.
Financial institutions, because some of their
customers might be doing unethical or illegal things
with their money.
Transportation companies, because people die in cars,
trucks, trains, boats, and planes.
Food manufacturers, because so many people become
unhealthy after consuming too much food.
Tourism companies, because I don't believe in
encouraging people to travel thousands of miles only
to shop for bric-a-brac and scented candles.
The World Wrestling Federation, because there's no
place for a "gravy bowl match," even in sports
entertainment.
Thomas Kinkade (Media Arts Group), because it's not
real art!
