I think the thing I hate most about society
is the amount of worth we put on a name.
Take the ugliest thing you can find
tack on a designer brand
and people will go nuts over it
no matter how much it costs.
All those huge department stores that have sales all the time?
Well all the ugly 'designer' label things that were too ugly to sell full price
they knock of 50%, 60%
and suddenly the whole area scrambles to pick one up
just for the brand's name.
But that's not the worst part.
Sure, those things were cheaper than retail price.
But the original price was still relatively expensive.
We're talking anywhere from $300 - $1000.
What happens then, when you take something that is 'designer'
and only retails for around $50 - $70
and then stick it on the sale rack?
I'll show you what happens.
Things like this:
Possibly the ugliest pair of 'flip-flops' designed by human hands.
What's that you say? You don't like the color?
Oh, no worries - it comes in plenty of others:
Oh, these are not 'wedge-y' enough for you?
Don't even worry - there are taller ones:
And once again, in many different colors and patterns for you to choose from.
Wait, but it's not summer anymore!
Oh where will I wear these?
Not to worry, there are indoor ones as well:
I absolutely abhor these abominations people buy in a frenzy.
I would bet my life savings if these hadn't had a 'Juicy Couture' label affixed to the side
they would have never taken flight.
