what
Yesterday, I was walking through the mall, trying to find some Christmas presents that didn't suck, and I saw a sign in the window of that Boathouse store that said "Give the gift of Brands".
I felt like I was in another dimension or something. It was a wierd feeling, and I found the nearest exit and left.
Question: Why do you pay extra money for clothes so that the company that you are giving money to can have free advertising space on your chest?

It doesn't make sense, does it. Really, we ought to get a discount for wearing their logos.
here, i bought you this brand.
oh wait. this brand will make you a better person. the real you can hide behind it and look like you have money and status. that's all that matters.
thats funny scott and me were just talking about that like not long ago. we decided were going to buy eachother brand name stickers for our cars!im pretty sure im getting him a Roxy one.
Basically, it's about status. If you wear that brand, then you must have money... And if you have money then uh.. .you have money? I guess that's the way rich people think....
lol. there was a time when i cared about brands. i dunno why. bye.
this is tala btw, something is wrong with the stupid commenting system.
i say we make others a brand, that doesnt have a name or a logo and sell just blank shirts and we can charge more money for it that a regular blank tshirt... yeaaaaah
when i think of the word "brand" i think of the action of searing a sign of ownership into the fleshy hindquarters of a bovine animal.
brands are really just a way of guaranteeing something is of a certain value - in style, money, quality... i guess ppl just get a little obsessed
i sometimes feel like a snob.
i don't much care about brands, but i do care about what my clothes look like and if they're going to fall apart when i wear them.
