				<div><dt>About the Big Oil Tees and ROUSTWear</dt><dd>ROUSTWear&trade; is your &#8216;speakeasy&#8217; source for edgy, thought-provoking corporate parody apparel in which Big Oil Tees is very first public-facing apparel line.
<p>ROUSTWear has been creating corporate parodies since 1985 as a small, community-based and highly collaborative grassroots initiative provoking discourse and discussion around socially relevant and timely topics facing our nation.</p>
<p>&#8212;ROUSTWear features apparel that is clever, humorous, and thought-provoking; in some cases, mind altering</p>
<p>&#8212;ROUSTWear&#8217;s Big Oil Tee parody line acts as a vivid catalyst for &#8220;green thinking&#8221; and awareness building; initially pointing the finger, but ultimately offering resources for education and awareness of socially responsible activism.</p>
<p>&#8212;ROUSTWear offers apparel with pointed commentary about important social issues</p>
<p>&#8212;ROUSTWear&#8217;s goal includes giving back to the community with proceeds generated that can be circulated back to important social and non-profit organizations</p>
<p>We welcome your thoughts, ideas, and participation.  Visit our <a href="http://BigOilTees.BigCartel.com/contact">Contact Us</a> section to share.</p>
</dd><dt>What you can expect...</dt><dd>The initial product launch line will be emblazoned on American Apparel™ Short &#38; Longsleeve Fine Jerseys; their <span class="caps">BEST SELLING</span> shirt style!

<p><a href="http://store.americanapparel.net/2001.html">Shortsleeve</a> and <a href="http://store.americanapparel.net/2007.html">Longsleeve</a>.</p>
<p>From the horse&#8217;s mouth&#8230;</p>

<p>&#8212;Flattering, stylish fit on almost any body type</p>
<p>&#8212;100% Baby Rib cotton stretchable collar and cuffs for comfort and durability</p>

</dd><dt>Uhmmm, will you get in trouble for this?</dt><dd>Let&#8217;s hope not.  I&#8217;d like to do some good and give back to my community, this great nation, and the world before I am unable.
<p>At the end of the day, this product line is my forum of choice to drive public awareness and commentary on important social issues.  It&#8217;s based 100% squarely on my right to freedom of speech&#8212;it&#8217;s <span class="caps">PARODY</span> folks, pure and simple.</p>
<p>It is important that you know this product line is <span class="caps">NOT AUTHORIZED</span> or endorsed by <span class="caps">ANY</span> of the companies who are the subject of parody.  The product line is drawing straightforward, provocative, clever, sometimes humorous, thought-provoking subject matter and topics stirring discussion and debate.</p>
<p>Hopefully, this apparel line will inspire pointed commentary about important social issues and causes in our world today.</p>
<p>My hope is for strong product sales to circulate back a percentage of profits and proceeds to important, and highly active, social and non-profit organizations; <span class="caps">SEE</span> Non-Profits Supported <span class="caps">FAQ</span> for more info.</p>
