Obsession

Citizen Ojo said: "The American Dream is fallacy. It's an advertising tool for us to buy cars, homes, boats, plastic surgery and lord knows what else."

Blame Calvin Klein.
Calvin was smart enough to know that most people couldn't afford his Couture collection,
so he came up with a Pret a Porter line.
For those who couldn't afford a hundred dollar shirt - Calvin came out with a more affordable line of boxers and briefs with a more affordable price point of under twenty dollars.
But the real money maker was his fragrance line.
People who couldn't really afford to wear Calvins could wear Calvin's cologne.

Soon, everyone was fakin' da funk.
How many times have you seen a set of rims that were worth more than the car?

A lot of that Blang is really just blung.
A lot of it is rolled gold plate with a 10k clasp.

(Do I really need to go here?)

Blue eyed Black girls are not that common - but it is an option.

Sure, I like Asian hair.
It's so long and thick.
But it belongs on Asian women.
And what ever happened to the old fashioned usage of a toothbrush and dental floss?

Even homes are now made to "look just like" the real thing.
If I see another person spending tens of thousands of dollars on Melamine made to look like real wood...

Plastic Crown Molding?
The collapse of the economy should have been expected.
It was just an illusion of real wealth.
