“Business!” cried the Ghost, wringing its hands again. “Mankind was my business. The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence, were all my business. The dealings of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business!” –Dickens.
Merry Christmas!
Look at these stupid shoes. They cost $2,150!!!!!! And no, those aren’t diamonds. They are crystals. This thing with the expensive shoes has got to stop. Shoes should never be $2,000. They should not be $700 either. That is too much money, especially for something that was probably produced in a sweatshop somewhere.
In case you haven’t run into people like this, there’s a segment of the population who actually judges people on whether or not they wear overpriced shoes like the above monstrosities. For some reason, plopping a rent-sized payment on a pair of shoes is judged as good taste instead of stupidity. This happens to be a pet peeve of mine. There’s nothing wrong with liking shoes, but paying that much for a pair is simply decadent and gross. Seriously, if you pay that much for shoes, you are part of the problem with the world and should be ashamed of yourself.
They aren’t even that cute, either.
