Soundtest, the purpose of this thread is that what people buy does NOT reflect who they are. THAT is my point. All these people that buy that crap are posers. What they buy doesn't reflect who they are, because they are NOBODY. They have no sense of self worth, because they have no sense of self. They are one large mass controlled by the idea of "popularity".
What is popularity, though? What is "Cool"? these are all abstract concepts created by a society that demands conformity and limited thought. It is a means of control. $700.00 for a purse is ridiculous. It has a very limitied functionality, and you can get the same effect from a much cheaper product. A purse is a purse. It is a cloth bag with a handel. Sunglasses are sunglasses.
Your example of videogames and comic books is not relevant because not all games and comics are the same. You get an unlimited source of entertainment for 50 dollars, whereas, compared to the purses, a limited function for 700 dollars.
