Ah, the Internet. Apparently, 80’sTees.com posted a pre-order listing for an Aquaman hoodie. Someone ordered the hoodie, but a few days later, the item disappeared from the website. Not one to give in, the hoodie buyer asked the folks at 80’sTees why they pulled the hoodie. They said they didn’t have enough pre-orders to warrant making the hoodie. The buyer asked how many buyers they’d need to make it profitable enough. They said 200.
So that was the beginning of an internet crusade. And now 202 people have pre-ordered the Aquaman hoodie, which means it will be made. Joy! The only problem is that this is the Aquaman hoodie people were fighting so hard for:
This is really unfortunate. You really shouldn’t buy any hoodie with abs printed on it. That said, this is an inspiring story of consumers getting what they want. I bet in two years, it’ll be a movie starring Jack Black as the ardent internet nerd out to get his hoodie.
Consumers forgetting how to produce something themselves
I didn’t order it because of the abs. Otherwise I would love to walk around swaddled in my love for Aquaman.
Crusades are forcing internet companies to TAKE your money now? Well, damn, the middle ages sure have our number.
Ugh. That many people are intent on showing their devotion to the Justice League’s most suck-tastic superhero?
Another underdog victory for that rag-tag band of lovable misfits we call consumers. You guys are the best!
Those aren’t abs.
They’re really big fish scales.
