“Money for nothing and our trips for free” Senate scandal t-shirts now on sale

PEI resident Lloyd Kerry is at it again.

Over the past year, the enterprising artist/entrepreneur has been designing and selling politically inspired T-shirts: Earlier this year, for example, he produced one with the slogan 'Stuff the Duff' — inspired, of course, by (alleged) fellow Islander Mike Duffy's troubles.

Kerry has now joined forces with cartoonist Steve Nease to produce his latest masterpiece featuring images of Senators Duffy and Pamela Wallin (with Prime Minister Stephen Harper on drums). The slogan reads: Money for nothing and our trips for free.

The drawing is in reference to the ongoing Senate expense scandal: Duffy is alleged to have improperly claimed a Senate living allowance while Wallin was forced to repay almost $140,000 in travel expenses.

The slogan is a play on words from a 1985 Dire Straits' song which included the lyrics "money for nothing and chicks for free."

"I look at it as a funny way to protest," Kerry, a lab technician, told Yahoo! Canada News, about his shirt business.

"People aren't going to march in Ottawa with picket signs. But this way they can voice their displeasure in a humourous way but still get the point across."

The T-shirts range in price between $25-$30 depending on the size and shipping locale.

Kerry is not getting rich off this, at least not yet. To date, he's only sold about 250 t-shirts including all his designs.

Shirts can be purchased via his Facebook page.
