I totally agree. This is off the Josten's subject, but there have been a ton of monopolies that have come to my attention here of late.

There's this company called 'Diamond Comics Distributor' that controls ALL the publishing and distribution rights of all the major comics and graphic novel publishing companies.

Thing is, they suck. There are messed up orders, damaged products and such, but they are the only major conglomerate of the comics distributing business world.

Yet, there is nothing said. I really don't get it.

Back to the Jostens subject, I thought that the salesman really didn't help the fact that we knew that his products were mandatory, because he was saying to not look in the book because all the stuff was crap.

It was as if he was saying 'Heh, kids, this stuff is shit, and it's so bad that you HAVE to spend your money on it, cause there ain't no other way around it! AND MAYBE YOU CAN BUY A FUCKING SHIRT!'

Argh. Makes me mad.
