Just because it's free doesn't mean it's good. In fact, "free" typically ranges from less than desirable to repulsive. On Tempe's Mill Avenue, the pseudo-preachers give us free booklets that describe how we'll burn in Hell. Awesome. In the mail, we receive free return-address labels with random company logos on them. Woo. And if we happen to sleep with the wrong person, we get a complimentary case of the crabs, no charge. Kickass.
With all the free crap (and we do mean crap) being thrown around, we about had a heart attack when we heard about the Free Beer Tasting at BevMo! Oh, mama, we hit the jackpot this time, because not only is the brew free, but so is the liver damage.
