Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. When people and companies spend an infinitesimal amount of time, money and energy trying to replicate the real thing, to create a fake, synthetic, artificial version of something very valuable, society has a name for it – a con job. You can see it a mile away, except this time instead of the mob counterfeiting hundred dollar bills, the Plant Mafia is trying to pass off fake hamburger patties … and it tastes just like meat! Yeah right, and fuckin’ Willie Wonka makes a pill that tastes just like a ham sandwich, a bag of chips and a chocolate shake all at once.
The Problem With T-Shirts
When not working, the t-shirt is the official uniform of the American male. Once in a while, you encounter golf-shirt guy and he’s bound to be a dude that thinks he’s better at sports than he is and imagines he has personal style that he most certainly doesn’t. You might also spot the type who, in a casual setting, wears a button-up shirt, maybe a Hawaiian shirt and he will either be kinda porky or have grooming issues that he hopes will be disguised by a collar and buttons.
