H&M Destroys Clothing Rather Than Donating it to Charity
A big “what the fuck?” is in order to the policy-makers over at H&M clothing store for this recent story reported by the New York Times. Apparently, finding trash bags full of unwanted clothing is common behind H&M, but more often than not, the pieces of clothing are slashed with razor blades to ensure no one (we can just go ahead and say the poor here) will wear them. I guess the thought process must be: “well, we can;t have the homeless wearing the season’s most recent fashion crazes around!” The Times interviewed a couple people rummaging the garbage and this not uncommon among retail stores.
Best Buy misprinted a price in a big way via their website. Try a Samsung 52″ HDTV listed for $9.99 (regularly priced $1,699.99). Who wouldn’t like that $1,690 savings?
So you could image the difference between the two bands listed to the right. One ‘Teen Idols’ band plays 90s punk rock and the other is a collection of ‘Teen Idols’ from decades ago who play heart-felt pop music. So when Chris from Minnesota tried to purchase tickets from Ticketmaster for the Grand Casino show, he was sent the tickets for the heartthrob show instead. Bummer.
