|

Have you guys seen this? It's hilarious.
So Payless, they opened a store in Santa Monica, but called it "Palessi" and people/influencers came in excited about the "high-quality" footwear not knowing they were just a re-branded version of regular Payless brand shoes.
Brilliant.

i saw this. it just proves my theory that most people are sheeple. if someone says its hot they believe it. especially if the people saying its hot are currently trending people who review stuff online. thats all they need. they would buy dirt if one of these people said dirt was the new thing. |
