are you fuckin' kiddin' me?


amo i cinesi. grande popolo. pur non bazzicando i loro negozi di abbigliamento (sparpagliati in tutto il paese e tutti a vendere la stessa medesima roba, come fossero un unico grande club), adoro il modo in cui mettono in ginocchio i concorrenti mettendo prezzi stracciatissimi. ultimamente però, ho notato un'inversione di rotta: i cinesi si saranno emancipati, si saranno resi conto di esser ormai diventati la nazione più potente del mondo o checazzoneso, ma ieri giravo per puro caso nel solito negozio d'abbigliamento made in china di turno, e noto il prezzo sui cartellini: 30 euro per una felpa! 10 euro per una t-shirt! 25 euro per dei pantaloni! 15 euro per un cardigan! whatdafuck?! costa uguale (se non di più) a catene come hm o zara o bershka!!! ora, non che la qualità di hm sia di assoluta prima classe, ma abbiam ben presente quello dei cinesi, con la cerniera che si rompe dopo mezz'ora e i bottoni che si staccano a random in maniera casuale; cioè sono vestiti che si disintegrano automaticamente nel giro di poco, come quei dvd usa e getta che vanno tanto di moda in questo momento. 
insomma, ci prendono per il culo?

i love chinese people. and even though i don't go shopping in their apparel stores (which you could find almost anywhere, and every single one selling the same stuff as others, like a big happy club), i adore the way  they compete in the market selling stuff with broken prices. but lastly, something has evidently changed: maybe chinese people got emancipated, maybe they finally understood that they are becoming the most powerful nation in the world or i dontfuckingknow, but yesterday i was just havin a casual look in the usual made in china apparel store, when i noticed the prices: 30 euros for a sweatshirt! 10 euros for a t-shirt! 25 euros for a pair of pants! 15 euros for a cardigan!! whatthefuck??!! its costs the same (or even more) as stuff from hm, zara or bershka. now, it's not that hm quality is actually first class, but we surely know the quality of the made in china mass products, with the zipper that gets broken after half an hour and tearing random buttons: they just disintegrate theirselves automatically in a very short time, like those disposable dvds that are so in vogue right now.
so, are they fuckin' kiddin' me?

  1. I had the same thought actually.
    It's hilarious... But those shops are doomed if they keep up with those prices. I can't say that I'm sorry because they already gain a lot back in the days that it was a "new thing".

  2. maybe they're testing if the buyers are actually that stupid. and very probably the most really are that stupid, lol
