I don't have the luxury of working with teens all day long, so maybe you gies know better than I do, but I think kids are at least as smart today as they were 10 years ago. <BR/><BR/>As far as the matching colors go, I know it's a far cry from the cross colors we all knew and loved circa 1992, but wtf? at least it appears they shop for outfits, which is more than I can say for myself.<BR/><BR/>CJ, on the other hand, you are as fancy a dresser as I know.

They actually have teams of people who figure out buying habits of these teenagers and make sure they make it as easy as possible for them to spend their money i.e. not to take it away from those kids who do have good taste, but the stores definitely make it alot easier for them. Companies hire "a team of MBA's (monkeys) working around the clock" to figure this shit out. <BR/>The price, that shit is such high margin for these clowns, all the design and R&D work was already done (believe it or not, usually in the range of $50-$100M per product), all they have to do is dust off the old mold, send it over seas to Zaire or Cambodia somewhere, hire a bunch of 7 year olds and cut costs on labor also...what a country!Ziadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7491915.post-1165439939943286892006-12-06T16:18:00.000-05:002006-12-06T16:18:00.000-05:00I find that weird also, and honestly, kind of depressing.
