STUFFWATCH - THE JUMBO POLO

There's no denying that we have what one might call very strong opinions as to what we like and dislike about everything around here. We don't care about nonsense fashion trends and that's probably why we attract a lot of weirdos who try too hard to "think outside of the box." I don't know if every magazine gets the same ridiculous emails, but I'm always receiving packages full of retarded stuff from PR reps who think they've perfectly nailed the "Vice image."

These messages are like, "Hey! Check out these bitchin' neon nudie girl/pot leaf-print t-shirts we just got! They're SO Vice!" or "Yo! Take a look at these new faux fur ponchos! They're super stylish and can even double as a fashionable Snuggie! They're totes 'edgy' and right up your alley! Hipsters love them!"

I honestly thought I'd seen every crazy article of clothing the internet had to offer but an email I recently received just shot that theory right to hell. It came from someone at Double Down who was trying to inform me of the brand's latest creation, the Jumbo Polo. It's basically an XL polo shirt with a tiny baby vial of fake crack fused into the chest. You know, 'cause we love to party and stuff… WTF? I don't know if I should be offended or blown away but I definitely would like to meet the genius behind this poser brooch.
