So I've just arrived back after my walk home from work - it's night time here, and I've had a long day and am a bit tired.
On my way up I see in the distance a burly-looking guy of a sort of Turkish or Albanian persuasion - a bit top-heavy, meat-head, often misses leg day at the gym.
He's wearing a tightish t-shirt emblazoned with the word 'GAY' on it, writ large. 'Huh' I think, my expectations of his perceived character type challenged, 'good for him'.
Except as he gets closer and closer, I realise I've misread, and instead of a proud exclamation of his sexuality, it's instead that shitty sub-brand from Emporio Armani that gets sold at high markup in shitty local chav fashion stores (and then at massive discount in TKMaxx the year after), 'EA7'.
I actually LOL'd to myself as he passed, relishing the idea of this gorilla-swaggering lumpen fuckwit being so misinterpreted from afar.
Now i can't help but think that some sarcastic Italian fashion bitch made the EA7 design that way on purpose, exacting a subtle revenge on the sort of homophobic untermen he knows buys that shit.
This sort of shit.
Squint, massively.

- I wondered too, when I tried it out here last night - zoom out so it's a pinky's width at arm's length, then squint. it helps if it's nighttime too.detritus
