    Makes me sad when I see kids going to school with the playboy bunny emblazoned stationary.
    Playboy should not be aimed at kids. No matter how cute the logo is .

    If its kids you can assume that they dont know any better, and that their parents need a slap in the face. But grown-up women??? They do know what playboy is for, right??? Is that their dream job?

    Jumpers or polo shirts from lacoste with that stupid old fashioned crocodile on it. In what economy is €70 worth it for a crap bright coloured polo shirt that looks like it should be bought in benetton.

    Can't think of any labels in and of themselves, just intentions behind wearing/using the product, which may not always be wankery in fairness. I really don't get the Apple hate. Every Apple product consumer is hardly a cuntt in fairness. I use an iPhone but it's for work, which paid for it. I also got a present of a pair of Superdry sunglasses. I don't know anything about that brand tbh - what's the thing with it?

    It's not about the specific brand, it's the fact that you're making it highly visible so that everyone can see you're wearing a brand. You're providing free advertising for the brand while looking like a twit. I still remember how Abercrombie & Fitch had to pay some Jersey Shore meatheads to not wear their brand.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    I wouldn't judge anybody by what brand they wear.

    But anyone who wears a baseball cap back to front, or has the back of their jeans hanging down around their boxers should be placed into a NASA rocket and fucked into orbit.


    Oh, and women in leggings can join them.

    Not in the last 20 years surely. They were very popular when I was in school early 90s.

    I've heard of these Apple fanatics who allegedly are all **** but strangely enough have never met any of them.

    Maybe I'm just not cool enough to hate popular products for the sake of it

    I don't get the leggings hate either. Yes I know they can be worn by people who don't look good in them (same can be said for lots of clothing items) but they look great on women who have the legs/figure: http://cloud.collegefashion.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/leggings-as-pants1.jpg

    Yeh the reverse snobbery label hating can be just as much of a bandwagon tbh.
    And there is not one label I give a sh-t about (actually there are only certain moisturisers I'd buy - because they're good-quality, but that's all I can think of) so I'm not saying that from a position of bias.

    You need to be in fantastic shape for leggings to look even remotely flattering, most women certainly in Ireland just don't have the shape to pull it off.

    Slim legs definitely required for sure, but otherwise: wear a tunic-type top to cover camel-toe - voila. An insanely gym-sculpted body isn't necessary at all.

    Oh yeah - Superdry. *Shudder*.

    The clothes are for men who aren't really into fashion and want to dress the same as their mates, awful bland stuff and overpriced for the quality.

    I never ever judge people on their possessions

    Today i.wore Hilfiger jeans and a Dunnes Tshirt, Tomorrow i will wear Levis jeans and a penny's Tshirt. I drive a BMW but am.comfortable in Mrs bumps mondeo (previously peugot 307).My friend spends €20 every 2 weeks to get his head shaved, I cut my own hair and the clippers cost me €50 2 years ago. Anyone who looks down their nose at peoples clothes are the scrotes imo.

    You have a Mrs and a boyfriend?!

    Twenty quid for head shave is crazy. Paid that once myself. Lesson learned. Next time I asked the price. Said to the barber afterwards I bet he wished all his customers were like me. Twenty euro for a two minute cut.

    I see you got a sneaky edit in as I was posting ;o)

    I guess, to be fair, what I don't get is buying very functional plain stuff but with an expensive brand on it, even though the very same thing could be bought for far less and just as good quality. E.g. a plain black hoodie from e.g. A&F or black MAC eyeliner.
    That does seem to be a bit pointlessly label-conscious.

    Yeh I'm not a brand hater. Don't really get it tbh.

    I don't get why people would bother buying fakes, but other than that - whatever you're into.

    Not a label/brand, but I immediately assume I'm more likely to get along with someone if they drink coffee and/or smoke rollies ( proper cigarettes are a wildcard).

    GAA jerseys, processed ham and processed cheese have the opposite effect.

    That's a bit hypocritical don't you're basically saying why buy something with an expensive brand when I can get the same thing from cheaper but yet I only buy expensive MAC makeup and pay for the brand name.
