Things that suck. Vol. 1

Eurotrash.

I would apologize, if I wasn't right, but I am. By Eurotrash I mean, the "Mediteranean" crap people buy into these days. "Clubbing" is stupid, and even though I consider myself a sophisticated person, I find "pubbing" a lot more reasonable.
Next thing is the stupid way they dress. Now, I don't really give a damn about the look, it's the sheepishness required to spend >10$ on a spiderweb-thin T-shirt. It is wrong. Electronics and marketing has taught us, that things get smaller to be more efficient and cheaper. Design doesn't cost that much. I mean, I have a jacket made out of cotton, which cost roughly 15$. It is not rare to see a thin cotton T-shirt with a mock-stamp saying De Puta Madre or something, whose price would give a result of 1 divided by the price of my jacket. Both were probably sewn in some sweatshop, so that we can assume they are free to make, and the price is just materials plus markup. My jacket weighs around 750 g, which is 1.5 lbs. Now I will make my most bloated educated guess, and even then, I can't give the average weight for my size of the aforementioned T-shirt at more than 150 g, or roughly a third of an ounce. Using my sophisticated and pragmatic economical approach to the situation, I can estimate, that the T-shirt is apparently made of Titanium/Steel Alloy, or hell, Adamantium, as for this, I expect it to stop bullets, and maybe even talk and be my friend. It costs six times more, so unless it is a conservationist conspiracy, to make low-material clothes trendy, hell even then, it sucks.
