Default ICON~surprise inside

So I was just cleaning out the pockets of my merc leather hero jacket and inside the left internal chest pocket I found a St. Christopher medalion sewn inside. Am I slow to catch on or does everyone elseknow about it.

First the irony, that you call upon god three times in the same sentence as you declare it propaganda. And second, Saint Christopher is the Catholic patron saint of travel, totally unrelated to mainstream bible belt rightist 'thumpers'. In fact, he's mentioned exactly zero times in the bible.

Even Catholics suspect he never really existed, and the medallion is only a charm to bring good luck against all the block-headed, myopic, self-fisting chucklers such as yourself.

I think/ hope he was being ironic and trying to make a joke, hence the LMAO at the end.

I am not big into good luck charms/ patron saints, but i think its cool that the company includes a little bit of superstition on their product.

Almost as a gesture saying "we care/want you to be safe"
ICON didn't atract me before (since it is associated so much with stunting) but I might check their products out a little closer next time I'm at the shop

I think St. Christopher has been removed from the official list...he's like the Pluto of saints. I still luvs me a good ST. Christopher medal, though.
