fuck-the-recession-tshirt

Fuck The Recession T-shirt

Is it ironic that this Fuck the Rescession goes for $65? Maybe it’s a comment on how we shouldn’t let the media scare us into not spending.

Either way, it’s WAY out of our price range. Instant noodles and thrift store clothing only for us thanks. $65 Source
