A predator far more dangerous than any shark has been spotted lurking near the ocean's8217;s shore; attracted by the sight and smell of perspiration, this creature has been observed
hiding in the shadows of the pier waiting for the perfect opportunity to pounce on innocent spectators.
And the perfect opportunity has arrived. Sponsored by O's8217;Neill, the $185,000 Honda U.S. Open of Surfing returns to Huntington Beach July 24 through July 30 and is expected to draw
over 500 world-class athletes and a crowd of nearly 500,000 onlookers. Another key player in the competition 's8211; the hot California sun 's8211; will no doubt leave a lasting
impression on the T-shirts of tourists from around the world.
This is when the hunt begins. Armed with handfuls of Garment Guard's8482; disposable underarm shields, the Human Taco will strike sweaty, unsuspecting bystanders whose pits wander
unprotected and lead them back to its booth to receive complimentary product samples. The self-adhesive, skin-tone-colored 100% cotton disks adhere to the inside of clothing to create a
barrier that keeps any outfit fresh and clean.
Visitors can even pose with the life-sized entrée for free-of-charge photographs to capture a memory as permanent as the day's8217;s garment stains. The funniest snapshots will be posted
in the Taco Hall of Shame at www.MySpace.com/TacoHallofShame, where Huntington Beach's8217;s finest will join the ranks of countless
embarrassing celebrities who should have been wearing Garment Guards's8482;.
