    OMG... was talking to my mom today and she was asking about Christmas suggestions (we STILL do this...) and she said "I saw this really neat shirt with a cool pattern on it that looks like something you would wear." My immediate instinct was to remind her that I asked her a decade ago to stop buying me clothes for Christmas.

    She couldn't quite describe it and said she'd send a link...

    It was THIS f'ing nonsense that I keep seeing advertised on Twitter:
    https://www.lightinthebox.com/f/…

    I was hilariously mortified that she'd even think I would be remotely interested in wearing something like that. I think my only reaction was to say "Do you even know me? Have you even noticed how I dress for the past 20 years?"

    :D

    • Great story (but I would like to see you in the sweater, too). I get these absurd ads as well.SimonFFM
    • These sweaters don’t even look as advertised. The mockups are basically flat graphics and images masked into the sweater shapeNBQ00
    • These ads are everywhere. I see it about five times ad day. about a week after Xmas these will be permanently in the back of closetsdkoblesky
