I'm glad I'm one of those people that doesn't know all about this.

I misread the previous post I quoted. I thought Zeus was asking why some here think that guy pictured is tough.

i was talking about the guy pictured as well, just being a bit facetious tho.

People are just jealous of them. You call them "doochebags" and make fun of them, but it takes a lot of hard work to gain muscle and take care of your body.

i know people that dedicate half their day to lifting weights, have very well developed muscles and dont act like an asshole. i think people here were making fun of him wearing the shirt, not necessarily the fact that he has big muscles.

"Ed Hardy" is a synonym with "douchebag". Nobody with an ounce of fashion sense would go near one of those shirts.

That said, I sort of want to shake the hand of the creator of the Ed Hardy brand, Christian Audigier. He gave one of the most insanely entertaining interviews I've ever read in GQ a couple of months ago.

Emperor Du Fromage

At what might have been the very apogee of his famousness, at the moment he commanded the most attention he will likely command for the rest of his life, Jon Gosselin appeared in the Côte d’Azur with his new 22-year-old girlfriend on the yacht of a fashion designer named Christian Audigier.

During a photo session on the streets of St-Tropez, Audigier announced he would be designing a children’s line with Gosselin (something he later said he won’t actually do).

This was just a few months after Audigier announced a joint clothing venture with Madonna.

Which was not long after he was seen shopping with Michael Jackson, who, it seemed, was living in a house owned by Audigier’s CEO at the time of his death. Audigier was designing clothes with Michael Jackson, too.

...

The rest of the fashion world also denies the existence of Ed Hardy and/or Christian Audigier. Barneys, Saks, even New York Fashion Week, where American designers have their fashion shows—in none of these places are the names Ed Hardy or Christian Audigier breathed.

The fact that he sells this stuff—not just literally tons of T-shirts and caps but tons of luxury-priced status items unapproved by the luxury-status complex—reflects something about ourselves that people in positions of fashionable power would rather not admit. Christian Audigier is an inconvenient truth.

...

“I’m going to be in a movie with 50 Cents!” [Christian Audigier] said, sitting in Carol’s office. He probably realizes he doesn’t always get the plurals right in English, but fuck it. He never took any English classes or anything, but that never stopped people from understanding him. And maybe there’s no one better positioned to exploit the fact that we, as a society, have moved past the importance of meaning than the European denim-sportswear designer.

“Seriously?” I said. “You’re going to be in a movie?”

“Yeah!” he said. "I will play a French designer with a troubled past. 50 Cents play my bodyguard."

...

When I had given him his phone back and he’d wiped off the ear grease on his jeans, he told me that he was also putting out an album. His intermediary needed only five minutes to sell Universal on the idea. (Of course, that deal would later get cloudy.) He would call the album My American Dream. Kanye was going to be on it, and 50 Cent.

...

A film crew came into the room then and stuck a boom mike over Carol’s head while she talked. For the past five years or so, Christian has employed a film crew to follow him around wherever he goes. He says someday he will make a documentary about his life.

It goes on for six pages. What a riot working with that guy must be.

Ed Hardy is like Lisa Frank for guys.

A lot of black kids at my school wear Ed Hardy....But that agrees with your stereotype to be honest.

I heard his colognes are quite good though.
