Based on an incident in Calgary a week or two ago, including the "Boycott Gap" banner ... the rest is my imagination.
Cheeky Protest Comes to Painful End
By

From local wire reports:
Five local high school girls found their attempt to recreate the recent "boycott Gap" protest in Calgary thwarted by a resourceful salesman, assisted by the store manager and a few retail clerks.
The ill-fated protest began slightly after noon, when the girls (all students at St. Bernadette's High School) handcuffed themselves to a bicycle rack outside the downtown Gap store, presumably to make their removal or arrest more difficult. Facing away from the store's main entrance, they bent over at the waist and lifted their trademark plaid skirts. None of the five were wearing panties. The words "BOYCOTT GAP" were spelled out in red across their naked posteriors, one letter to each cheek.
Unbeknownst to the protestors, at that very minute the Gap store manager was meeting with a sales representative from Worldwide Amalgamated Paddle and Strap Company (WAPSCO), a purveyor of home discipline implements. They were discussing a line of decorative belts WAPSCO recently introduced; when they heard the disturbance outside, the salesman offered to demonstrate some other items in his inventory.
Accompanied by three Gap employees, the manager and the salesman proceeded to the scene of the demonstration. The five promptly began applying various WAPSCO items to the seat(s) of the problem. The girls appeared to immediately reconsider their protest; however, handcuffed as they were, escape proved impossible. Within minutes, the five backsides had turned red enough that no trace of their makeshift banner could be seen.
The Gap employees agreed that the WAPSCO products were everything the salesman claimed they'd be, and more. "That thing I used -- what was it called, a tawse? -- was especially effective," the manager said. "I hardly felt like I was exerting myself at all, and yet -- well, see for yourself." He indicated the bottom of the girl he'd been working on. "Look for us to introduce a line of 'Gap straps' in the very near future."
Summoned to the scene by onlookers, the headmaster of St. Bernadette's also took part in chastising his wayward students. "This protest does not have the sanction of the school," he told reporters. "Moreover, these girls are truant, they left school grounds without permission -- and they're out of uniform," the headmaster continued, noting that the St. Bernadette's dress code did require underwear. "St. Bernadette's did away with corporal punishment a few years ago, but obviously it's time to rethink that policy." He was last seen placing a substantial order with the WAPSCO salesman.
Despite the abrupt ending to their demonstration, the protestors were not released until their parents came to the Gap to claim them. Many of the parents also took advantage of the opportunity to try out, and purchase, WAPSCO merchandise.
None of the girls was available for a coherent comment.
The End

I'm not sure if this story was suppose to be funny, but I couldn't help having a smile on my face as I read it. I'd like to say those are the 'good old days', but I don't remember them being that good. All in all a good story, with a unique storyline.

Cute story as usual. No hidden meanings or agendas with Kent. He's right out there and I love the title.

I went to St. Bernadette's, and wore the trademark plaid skirt! Writing this up as a news piece adds some additional humour and sharp wit to it, Kent. Great concept about the GAP straps!

Very funny story and I love the news article format. Of course, if these WAPSCO belts are like any of the other products Gap sells, they'd probably fall apart before a proper strapping could be administered...
