Nice Jacket Ya Douche!

A girl in my office showed up with a Canada Goose jacket the other day. As soon as I saw it, I thought that jacket looks like something a forest ranger would wear. Knowing that she loves her name brands, I couldn't wait to find out how much cash she dropped on her super trendy jacket. I was expecting her to say like $200, but I almost shit my pants laughing when she said $350. She then continued to explain that she squeezed into a kids size and saved like $200. What have we become people? A kids jacket that looks like something a tow truck driver from Barrie Ontario would wear costs like $350, and the adult version is almost $600. What the hell?? That was my first little taste of Canada Goose jackets, but unfortunately I had I feeling it wouldn't be my last.

The Following weekend I was at a local cool guy bar and what do you think I saw? Two gombas with rock hard hair wearing matching Canada Goose vests and sunglasses in a hot, sweaty bar. Ha ha ha. I'm not really sure how long these jackets have been the coolest jackets on earth, but they have certainly become the official winter outfit of douches everywhere. I like to know as much as possible about the things I make fun of, so I did some research to see just how out of control the price of these wack jackets really is. Here's what I found.

$610
All that money, and for what?
To look like ski patrol?

$545
This womens jacket will make your girl look
like she shops at Walmart in a small northern town.

$225
The stupidity doesn't stop with the jackets.
This hat is sure to make you a douche instantly.

$850
I found this jacket on a Vancouver website.
It was sold out. Too bad, i really wanted to pay almost a grand
to look like I drive a snowplow for a living.

I just find it amusing that people will pay so much money for a weak name brand just because everyone else is doing it. A Truly cool person can walk into a department store and find a warm jacket for less than $100, but a douche needs the $600 jacket with the cool little Canada Goose Logo on it. Keep it up people. Without you, I would have nothing to write about.
