I just read the "About Fuel Star" section. "Success is going from failure to failure without the loss of enthusiasm." you just can't make this **** up.

This seems to happen any time a rep from one of these upstart Hypebeast brands sticks around past the initial shill.

1) Regulars mock the brand
2) Rep attempts to justify the brand's products (always t-shirts)
3) Regulars mock the brand
4) Rep picks one of the shirts from the pile and tries to convey its biting social commentary
5) Regulars mock the brand
6) Rep posts a slightly less grammatically sound post "this is what streetwear is"
7) Regulars suggest rep lurk moar
8) Rep realizes he isn't selling any shirts here and goes into a profanity-filled, discriminatory rant brimming with grammatical and spelling hazards


OP really outdid himself here, though. Shirts weren't even bad, just unremarkable. We all had our kicks in the WvsG thread earlier this week, but this is a true example of a brand rep just shredding any credibility in the span of 24 hours. OP did a hell of a job stripping any of that self-perceived pomp and circumstance about the brand's integrity.

May I ask just what happened for WvsG?

Also, I seem to have missed all the fun. Sigh.

The abridged version:

Someone said the pea coat looked terrible on everyone who had posted. A couple more people voiced agreement, including chrono, who went on quite the rant about what a disaster it was and suggested everyone return their coats. Mauro then more or less lost his cool and implied a confrontation should the two of them ever meet again. Then there was like 134 pages about whether or not Mauro was in the wrong. It ended with people posting South Park pictures and Razelle saying something was "SO DOPE SO DOPE."

The end.
