![“Scarlett Johansson said, “I’m thrilled to be collaborating with Mango to promote conscious consumerism and to benefit Oxfam’s Haiti Earthquake Response Fund. By purchasing this bag, which I specially designed, you are helping to provide life saving assistance like clean water to the people of Haiti.”” [via ONTD]
1. Scarlett Johansson is already Mango’s official spokescelebrity, so come to your own conclusions about the degree of actual altruism going on here, even if she did donate separately.
2. Seriously, how cynical and cheap is it to say “Oooh, I know what I’ll do for Haiti! I’ll make my stupid gullible fans purchase something just because it has my nominal participation while making me look good while also fulfilling contractual obligations with my corporate partner!”
3. Those map tote bags are so 2007 that literally in 2007 my genius friend Stephanie of What Party? (go there) made a parody one for herself with a map of the Trail of Tears on it that she carries to this day. This is actually remarkably similar to that, but not a parody.
4. If Scarlett Johnansson actually did design this herself it would just be a blob with sad-faced stick figures falling off it labeled “Hatey.”](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kxasmgz7mo1qz7m6to1_400.jpg)
