People wasting money

Post by Leisher »

Nordstrom sells out of rocks at $85 a pop.

But it was wrapped in a leather pouch, so...worth it!?

Hey man, if people will buy it... I mean, pet rocks were a thing once.
It's not me, it's someone else.

It bugs me.

I'm all for folks doing whatever the fuck they want with their money. I'm even down with Cards Against Humanity's annual sale to showcase how stupid we act with our holiday shopping. (Note: Last year they sold and shipped actual bullshit. This year they dug a hole.) This rock reeks of Nordstroms taking advantage of that type of campaign. And hey, more power to them for making a buck. Seriously.

I'm not bitching or telling anyone to stop. I just wish Nordstroms or the people involved would do something better with the money raised.

When you're spending money to making a joke about spending money, it just seems wrong that the money goes to the very people you're mock protesting.
