that's so dumb. When i was in highschool, i could pick up an army jacket at army surplus for like $30 to 40 bucks, and they were the real thing. Reminds me of the early 90's during the grunge movement, sears was selling flanal shirts that were "pre-ripped" for $80.

Formula for being a shirt designer:

1) Pay $1 for the shirt off the back of an illegal immigrant who's been painting houses AND/OR for a used shirt from Goodwill, and splatter with a little paint
2) Contact sucker CEOs from stores like American Eagle who sell to even suckerier teenagers (making up words is FUN! :))
3) Profit!!!

HA! That reminds me of the designers who sewed jeans onto draw-string boxer shorts so kids could look all "ghetto-style" but NOT have their pants fall down.

So are computers.

But with computers, you actually get something in return. Fashion only gets you status among more people who are dumb enough to buy the same stuff.

That store's for idiots that have no cencept of the value of a dollar.

I would think that the people that shop there aren't worried about money. Probably $330 to them is like $20 to most of us.

says the guy who found the link...
