From cold ground was my bed last night to the Bahamas resort.
They use Bob as a cash cow. I have respect for making money on own talents and own skills.

Things they want to sell should bear upon Bob´s life. Things he used and liked. Maybe a Roots Natty Congo Range Rover -:)) or one more Gibson Les Paul model of better quality than the last one. Or some cool boots. How about a re-issue of the Fender silver face amp Bob used.

Can´t imagine him on a snowboard with a lager....

Their behaviour takes away all credibility from Bob´s family and I think this is greedy and disgusting.

Top 10 worst Bob Marley merchandise.

10. "Who Colt The Game" Dominoes
9. "No Woman No Cry" instant cornmeal porridge
8. "Jump Nyabinghi" energy drink
7. "Natural Mystic" air freshener
6. "Get Up, Stand Up" arthritis ointment
5. "Could You Be Loved" cologne
4. "What's New Pussycat" kitty litter
3. "Crazy Baldheads" Rx strength OTC minoxidil foam
2. "Kinky Reggae" condoms
1. "Buffalo Soldier" beef jerky

These, of course, are in addition to all of the real products in the works.

@DonBanyan & Flashman
so glad I am not a Marley fan!
Funny stuff - keep it up. And as far as I know Jamaicans love irreverent humour and a likka bit of slackness never hurt anyone!
And having his ruff and tuff origins, I am sure (hubris!) that despite his serious reasoning of later years was making the same kind of jokes himself.

the path to peace and happiness must surely include a huge amount of humour...

There's always room for humor, I always say. Frankly, roots can get to be a bit humorless at times, no? I do like a bit of slackness to keep the balance.

Well, then again, in our defense, it's the Marley family that is cheapening his work. We're just running with it!!
Come to think of it, we probably shouldn't have posted this stuff here. Now they can steal our ideas.

but you know that ideas are free...theoretically
it's the execution of the idea that can land you in trouble.

I can't imagine anything image related to BM in my life. I just don't see/think that way...

Bob would probably laughing too

You got me cracking up with those! Very nice, way better than mine! The "Ride Natty Ride" rubbers sound kinda like, hmm...a gay product.
