Sucker Alert: Recession Merch

So. Some fashion peeps are, like, “so over the doom and gloom recession talk” that they’re protesting via a $65 shirt. Witness the Fuck The Recession tee, currently sold out at Seven New York.

Granted, it’s cheaper than the Fuck The Recession/I’m Still Rich version by Edun Live (which apparently retails for $3,325. I know, I’m confused too).

But $65 still a stupid price to pay for any tee shirt, particularly one bearing a message that makes you look even dumber than your spending habits.

The only people who are still rich in spite of the recession are those who don’t blow their savings on trendy bullshit; if you’re the kind of jackhole who spends your money on a Fuck The Recession tee shirt, you’re clearly not one of them. This shirt is not a fun, cute protest against hard economic times. It’s material proof that Fashion banks on people’s stupidity to keep itself in business. I hope the suckers who bought this shirt find a way to eat it at the end of the month when they can’t afford to feed themselves.

Then again, food’s, like, so last season.
