I went through every coat that there was at the Good Will store in Cambridge, trying to find something that would be as neutral as possible.
That's a picture from today of the sign-in page for Yahoo mail.
I'M POOR! WHICH PART OF "I'M POOR" IS SOMETHING THAT ISN'T GETTING THROUGH TO YOU?! I CAN'T SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR A COAT THAT EVERYBODY WHO WANTS TO CALL ME A LIAR COULDN'T POSSIBLY INTERPRET AS HAVING A CODE MEANING!
Snaps on coats are usually silver, gold or black. Which color should I have bought, even if something other that what I bought was there, which it wasn't?
Then there's the even more obvious, which is that a lot of corporations are designing their products to be conglomerate-supportive, which makes it even more difficult to buy things that nobody could interpret as having code meanings.
LEAVE ME ALONE! STOP LOOKING FOR EXCUSES TO PROMOTE CRIME!
