(Sep 7 07, 12:04)QBN isn't positioning themselves as anti-establishment.

(Sep 7 07, 12:01)We're designers and that's our job...we didnt invent a style and then apply that to the tampon industry...you're so dumb it's silly dobs.
I went to his last show in NYC. Walked right up to him, he was cool as hell, talkin to everyone. Your buddy must be a herb.
And sure he found a way to market his work, but the dude is seriously talented. Jealousy's a bitch.

(Sep 7 07, 11:50)Funny how when you disagree with someone who is semi famous then it's only jealousy. So I guess you ONLY like him because he is famous. If the only reason I can dislike him is 'jealousy' then isn't it fair to say that the only reason you like him is 'infatuation'?

(Sep 7 07, 13:03)My mom and the gay guy at my studio keep telling me that as well ... can you believe I'm still single?? It's a travesty I tell ya.

He's talented dude. Even you can't deny that.
- tommyo0
Yeah he is. I wouldn't deny that. I think it's a shame when people who are so talented keep beating the same drum...it's boring now. All in the name of $$. If I had a buck for every tool I've seen wearing an Obey t-shirt I could buy everyone on NT drinks for a year. Thats the problem...his ethos is anti-establishment which means it shouldn't be as accessible as it is. I can't wait till they're on sale at WalMart!! haha!
And that's not even bringing up all the RIPing they've done...his ripoffs of the clothing label FUCT is legendary:

lighten up tommy, not everything is a battle, you little shrimpy dick fucker.
- tommyo0
Hey dobs...I'm blocking you forever. You're like a scared 12 year old girl. Trembling with fear in front of this huge roller coaster called 'Screamer.' Her dad is standing next to her trying to convince her that everything will be fine.
Except you're a balding 30 something man and that roller coaster is called, 'Life'. You're deathly afraid of getting on it and you're alone. You and your bike. Oh and this website where you waste the day showing off how much you don't know about this roller coaster you're way to afraid of.
I'm ignoring you now. Because you're a dumb little pussy without

If your ethos IS underground anti-establishment.. .it is a wrong move. Don't make your company an anti-establishment deal if you're going to open the door to dudes with bags of cash.
tommyo
(Sep 7 07, 10:43)agreed. tommy and lowend have the upper hand... there's not really much to argue on this point.
if all you got in response is praise for his succesful marketing strategies, then fine and yes in the end sheppard wins, but he's still a sellout and you're a sucker for wearing a shirt that says OBEY.
- Meeklo0
tommyo:
Lets say you start a company, with tshirts showing people burning obey tshirts, cause you are the real deal. suddenly obey is not cool anymore and his dj cd featuring gwen stefani., m.i.a. and amy winehouse stops selling out at starbucks, because of the "awarness" your company brought.. suddenly mr walmart comes with the bag.. and asks you to sell your product at their stores.. you say no?
- horton0
Freshjive, FUCT, Stussy even.. all have come from the same place and managed to stay outta Starfucks and Walmart.
