Cognitive Dissonance: I saw someone wearing SF approved stuff and thought "What a tool...."

[Reevolving]

I can't tell what is worse, some tool wearing Persol glasses because he thinks he looks like the protagonist in some terrible 40 year old movie, or some tool who wears Persol because they're cool on some internet forum...

Way to bite the hand that feeds protects you.

I wear Persols whenever I'm not wearing my American Eagle overstocks I bought for $5 from Marshall's.

Agree that a lot of SF stuff looks douchey in RL, but that's common knowledge, I'd think.

I ask that everyone keep in mind that Reevolving is back under my protection.

Reev is fucked.

But seriously, wearing Persols makes you look like a tool? What if you repair the hinges with CVS cloth tape? Does this mitigate the look?

That's the gamut from StyFo to AAAC in a nutshell.

The analogy would be more apt these days if the Persols were used Tom Fords.

What exactly is toolish about Persol?

I find that one looks like a tool when it is obvious that he is wearing the designer item for the logo.

 

[Jackie Treehorn]

Precisely what percentage of the population do we expect would recognize Persols from the logo?

 

[yywwyy]

With what percentage of the population do you actually associate? A tool who wears Persols for the logo probably got the idea from the fellows around him, who then see him as a tool.

A different random sampling every time I go out in public.

A tool who wears Persols for the logo probably got the idea from the fellows around him, who then see him as a tool.

In that very particular example, what does it matter? If they're all tools, does the pot mind being called black by the kettle?

the internetz has ruined everything good.

 

[yywwyy]

The difference is that I don't think wearing Persols automatically makes one a tool. The people you associate most with each day probably isn't random, right?

I vote this thread as the most pointless of the month.
