Not-so-sweet merch

There's no other way to put it: The merchandise situation here is abysmal.

I went back to the Super Store today to see if I missed anything my first time through. The answer I was left with was a resounding "no."

I meant to take pictures of some of the more hideous items available for purchase, but I forgot, so here are some images I downloaded from the store's official website...

 

Look, I get that styles and tastes vary from place to place. Not to generalize here, but Asians seem to veer toward more child-like themes (Hello Kitty!), but when you're making apparel for a worldwide audience, you need to come up with designs that have a broader appeal and at least make an attempt at incorporating some fashion elements into your clothing. And these miss the mark on both counts.



Even with just these basic, plain sweatshirts and T-shirts, they made no effort to make them look visually appealing. I wouldn't be caught dead in either of those.


As sad as it is, this plain white T-shirt is the best thing I could find in the store. Simple, clean, wearable.

It's just a sad state of affairs, and there's only one man I know who can fix the situation...


 Make it work, people!
