For what it's worth, a "tool" is a person with no brains.

Usually a tool is a muscle-head who is dating a hot girl and you can't figure out why she would be interested in such a Neanderthal instead of an enlightened guy like yourself....but sometimes it's just a person who does something totally stupid to get the attention and approval of other people without thinking through the actual value or consequences of their actions.

Found this definition so "massive tool" must be a bigger version.

Tool (insult)
The word "tool" may be used as an insult, describing someone who is being used by an establishment willingly (as a sycophant), unwillingly (as one who blindly conforms), or as a "geek".

The term most commonly describes someone who is being manipulated by large corporations or governments. In this context, the term is thought to be a shortening of the phrase "tool of the system". The insult is used in Western counter-culture to describe strong proponents of those institutions, who seem to truly believe in what is thought of as a mass deception. Tool may also be used to refer to members of the counterculture who conform to a prefabricated concept of rebellious behavior (eg. tattoos, intentionally ripped clothing, long hair and earrings on males). In this sense, tool refers to a person who mindlessly buys into pop culture or subcultural trends (eg. Abercrombie & Fitch, poseur).

Usage
Possibly the first record use of the term "tool" in a derogatory manner comes from a labor reform resolution drafted by the Female Labor Reform Association in 1845. The group, which represented female textile workers in the Lowell, MA mills, was on strike as part of the ten-hour movement. After much falsification of worker testimony in the reports of a state-hired investigative committee, the association passed the following resolution:

"Resolved that the Female Labor Reform Association deeply deplore the lack of independence, honesty and humanity in the committee to whom were referred sundry petitions relative to the hours of labor.--especially in the chairman of that committee; and as he is merely a corporation machine, or tool, we will use our best endeavors to keep him in the 'city of spindles,' where he belongs, and not trouble Boston folks with him."
The resolution's language mocked Chairman William Schouler's distortions of the truth in order to preserve his own business interests in Lowell. The workers' resolution employs "tool" as a satirical pun, referencing their profession in order to criticize Schouler.

On Entourage last night, the Mayor of Beverly Hills was wearing a guady Ed Hardy shirt with a white hoodie when he went out on the town with Vince and the boys ... It was pretty stereotypical ... and I laughed MAO when I spotted the glittery T on him.

Originally EH was about taking tatoo art and putting it on a shirt. I have one of those, and it is one of my favorite shirts.

Then they started putting slogans on the shirts and added those godawful farmers ballcaps to the lineup. There are some hoodies I would get, and one tank top I would get for my girlfriend, but they passed from cool to kitch real quick.

I suggest you to ask Jinda. He can help you. Trust me.

and the Hardy line caters more to a hip hop crowd than anyone else (as did Von Dutch which was ironic as Kenneth Howard (VD) was well known for being a racist and probably wouldnt have liked the kind of folks wearing his name)

Funny enough could you imagine anyone into Hip Hop wearing either.
