Admit it: You Had the Same Sweater

Fashion Fail - The 80s Were Awesome

Submitted by: dunno source via Submission Page

Is this a picture of a real kid, or is it a late-80s action figure? I ask because it looks like he has the kind of hands that are molded to hold only objects with a cylindrical handle attached to the bottom, just like my brother’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles had.

And I don’t know what he’s rocking out to on that walkman, but I think I have a pretty good guess . . .

    It’s more the kid’s expression that bothers me.

    • hmph says:

      He is developing his ‘lower lip bite’ and coordinating finger-snap for when he grows up to do the white-boy shuffle (with lower lip-bite and snap… for extra added ‘I-am-so-hip’ -ness), so, give him some room, he is practicing.

    I am disturbed by the “glasses”. Oh, what did we do before Photoshop?!!!

      I was gonna say the same thing! This whole thing looks photoshopped…and BADLY. I know they have wireless glasses…but not at the top people. The walkman looks glued on too…
