Whenever I see someone walking around in clothes with big, visible branding, I can’t help but think they paid a fortune to wear an advertisement. (lemm.ee)

This is especially true with luxury brands like Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Prada. People are either trying to impress others with fakes, or they’ve actually paid full price to become walking billboards.

Similar thing with iPhone cases that have a cutout for the Apple logo. That's just hilarious.

Sports jerseys are even worse. You pay a fortune, to wear plastic, and then you have 3-4 sponsors plastered all over the shirt.

And the next year the t-shirt is expired because the player changed number or club, ka-ching! It's like the football video games, they can sell the same low quality goods every year by just claiming that they updated the teams.
