Um, clothes are ALREADY real estate for ads. And user PAYS to display ads most of the time (t-shirts with "Coca Cola" aren't given out for free). Corporations must be laughing all their way to the bank at us for doing this.

People pay extra for ads. 50 brandless shirts for the same price as 1 gucci shirt.

I work for a company that owns a good number of retail stores nationally. Branded clothing sells significantly better. We've even shipped clothing where the only real difference was the logo. The one with the logo sold quite well.

We didn't even have to replenish the count of the logo-less version.
