You know Steve, you could have at least not ripped the dialogue straight from the comics. Man I wish Deadpool wasn't in a movie.
That was the whole point of making it you dingusaur. AE has some good stuff, I don't like the fact that they throw their letters on everything--but the logo is very nifty. Their pants are nice, only thing I really like. Also, yeah, Steve (so we're all on a first-name basis now? Weird-ternet!), those comic things YOU made were ULTRA-LAME but the ones I'm going to do eventually maybe possibly will NOT be ULTRA-LAME.
Uhm, yeah, Alex, Alec? Whatever. FUNNY HOW YOU SAID THAT AAAAAAAFTER MIKE'S POST. Why not say it before? Huh? Yeah. Bite me, it's my birthday I can do whatever I want! |

Tee hee, aminal crossing. Yeah, though, I've got pokemon. Platinum, granted, bt Pokemon nonetheless. I haven't cared to follow all these eagles and #####hawks seagulls to know what's which. Then again, my usual clothing obtaining methods are either thrift, second hand (stores or from friends), or clearance sales. It leaves me with more gaming/music money that way, and I didn't waste an assload of money for something that's "out" in three hours. The most money I've spent (or would have spent if it hadn't been a gift) is just over $100 for two pairs of new shoes (the most expensive menu item at about 40 bucks together), two tops, two camisoles, two skirts, and $15 worth of bamboo socks. My best outfit (nice dress, tights, ribbon, shoes, hat) cost a total of six bucks (the hat and tights were free). I've got a friend who is passionately opposed to knockoffs (even if they look good, function well, and are perfectly good products on their own merits), and "can't understand" why someone would buy them. This same friend is also several thousand dollars in debt, but spends $600+ on anatomically correct dolls that she turns into various characters. I think I hit a tangent, and can't remember where I was going, so in closing: paying for logos is silly. Posted on: 04-05-2009, 20:20:21

Uhm, American Eagle isn't trendy... And I hate the term "paying for logos" because I honestly don't think anyone over 15 does that. Well, no, I accept that some people obviously do but I think that's equally stupid as not buying something just because there's a logo on it. Unless you need it for something specific, like a costume or a certain outfit, but then just shut up and don't shop somewhere you know there'll be a logo on it. Buying something expensive at a store doesn't mean you're paying for a logo whether or not it has a logo right on there. If you actually like the clothes then you like the clothes and are paying for the clothes you want and like and an "AE" on the corner doesn't change dick about that anymore than a solid colour T-shirt makes someone a rebel. My beef was just that they have nice clothes with "AE" on almost every article so if you bought ONLY a shirt, pair of jeans, and backpack there you would inevitably have a had where you look like "Mr. I shop at American Eagle and feel like I look like a douchebag today because I clearly am." I have some jeans (which are essentially my "main" jeans), a pair of sunglasses, and a messenger bag from there and while the jeans and glasses don't have large logos on them I still almost feel like an ass for having that much of it at once. Say I want a polo or rugby sweater or some thing, I know exactly where I shan't be getting it. It's the same with people and Hollister. I'll never own a Hollister anything if I can help it, because it seems like if you buy one thing there it takes over your entire wardrobe. In that light, logos are the devil. However that's also just stupid. Snicharael, you look SO Jewish. Just had to say it.
I'm not and I can prove it!
Ew. |

My mom used to buy my clothes for me, and she bought a lot of Hollister and American Eagle stuff because, well, I live in a very Jewish suburban area and all of her friends are Jewish and suburbany and that's the sort of stuff she thought was trendy and popular, and, well, she'd be CORRECT, at least for the area I live. It's just not really my thing. Or, it wasn't, but now I wear it all anyway. Now that I'm wearing only green shirts, I was able to weed out a lot of the Hollister/AE stuff, but I've still got a LOT of 'em. One of my zip-up hoodies is AE. I've only recently gotten more into, well, fashion, I guess. Style, maybe? But yeah, I used to not care at all what I wear, and now I actually spend more than a few minutes picking out a shirt every day. Snicharael, you look SO Jewish. Just had to say it.

Ew.
Pissed that you thought of that and I didn't. But then again, now we're both thinking about that, so nobody really won. |

I usually just think of a shirt (or some other article of clothing) before I buy it, and wherever I can find it I'll go for it (if it's decent). AE's logo is annoying, I don't like seeing the letters plastered everywhere, especially today since it was dress down day at my uniformed school, and just about everyone had AE printed on their shirts. The eagle logo isn't as bad, because I've seen some shirts blend it into the whole design, making you think twice about it being an AE shirt, it makes for a better shirt, but your still a tool if you drench yourself in AE stuff.. I just buy their jeans, really, the stuff they have in stock right now is meh. What I'd like to go for is some nice argyle print v-neck shirts. Not sure if I'm gonna jump into the whole cardigan craze, but it's growing on me. I also need to scout for a white tie, but not some $60 silk piece from a tux shop. At the expense of being called a "hipster", I may scope a thrift store for it, as well as anything that might do me some good. |
