Again we are glorifiying our lack of drive in this country! I see this as acceptance of being less than average.:(

Jenny,
It seems that you missed the point. The whole idea of the company is that they refuse to accept anything less than perfection. They aim to constantly improve themselves and aim higher.

Visit the website, their "about us" section explains it in detail!
www.chekminus.com

Hey Jenny from Shirls.
Jason is right.

If ou go to their blog and web site, you can see what they're all about. It is also quite clear in the article that they are striving to improve people. Chekminus remind us that there is always room for improvement.

Chekminus' creations are "a blend of what we picked up from Brentwood and the city, but the whole idea is to expand past that," Melendez said.

In other words, it represents "the 'hood".

Inspirational message. We should grow and expand our minds! Today, we just so closed in. I never heard of Chekminus before this article, but after reading the article, I can really see that Chekminus really does try to make a difference

[Ken]

Brentwood representin!

[Zerega]

I always saw the shirts at Special Sauce, but I was turned off by its message. Turns out I miunderstood the compay message. The article certainly cleared that up. Visit the company's blog. Lotta cool stuff

[Tara]

Nice article! Kinda interesting new company. I've checked out their web site at http://chekminus.com/ .

[Jack]

[Garrison]

Great shirts! Great designs! They're launching more designs soon!

[Slappy Sanchez]

Why do people need tshirts to tell them to aim high? Isn't that just common sense? Oh yeah, I forgot that we're talking about Brentwood here.
