Came here to say this. I’m a designer at a company that sells auto accessories and I have to photoshop out the badges on cars and logos from interiors all the time for my job.

Everyone is going LOL FERRARI but that is exactly is what is going on here. He is using a Ferrari logo in what amounts to an advertisement for his shoes.

The issue is that he’s advertising his shoes without paying Ferrari for a license to the rights to use their trademark. This is what de-values the Ferrari brand. If advertisers that do pay Ferrari for the rights to use the Ferrari trademark see that Philip Plein used the Ferrari brand and did it for free, then they…

Now this is a guy with a real beef.  Fuck off Ferrari.

Yeah, good luck with that.

It’d be very interesting to see the actual numbers to this, as in how many new supercars go to “old money” relative to “new”. My guess would be on the “new money” buying more of them (or maybe they just use them more, hence being seen more often) while the “old money” has their vintage car collections and yachts and…

Between this and the Deadmau Purrari thing, it makes me wish I was rich just so I could buy a Ferrari and troll their delicate sensibilities.

My nuanced take: Ferrari is overstepping their bounds but I, also, would not want to be associated with those nasty-ass shoes.

This checks out - I used to live basically at that corner (miss that awesome taco place).  

You realize that exaggeration for comedic effect is a thing right?

The answer is that you can take a stroll for hours in a city or rural environment buck naked and make your way home at your leisure with no hassle (because no one would see you in a rural environment, and everyone would make studious business-minding no-eye-contact in an urban environment), while you’d make it as far…

NYC has such strict anti-discrimination laws that men and women may go topless anywhere in public. I assume SF is similar.

Yeah man. I live in DC. Cops wouldn’t even look up from their phones with my naked ass walking down the sidewalk. I am the last of their problems when there are multiple shootings on the same block every damn day. And they look for any excuse to not fill out paperwork on actual crime. I’m making it to the Maryland…

That changes things considerably. If I went back to the town where I grew up, I’d have a shot at getting some real distance if I found a way to get to the train tracks. There’s a wall of trees on both sides. Get by that and you can go for miles. But it’s covered in jagged rocks. I could walk along the track itself,…

When I lived in Humboldt Park you could have run a naked marathon around there and saw 20 cops (half of them driving 2 mph the wrong way down a one way). Absolutely nothing would happen. I think you’d actually get bored, tired, or someone in the neighborhood would solve the problem first.

I follow a few police scanner twitter accounts and whenever there seems to be a naked guy or a masturbator of any kind, they seem to be doing more arguing about whose district it falls under and who has the be the one to catch the naked guy.  These are precious seconds and nowhere in the rules does it state that I…

I disagree because the cops are more likely to be far away in the suburbs. If someone sees you out their window, it could be a good 15 min. before they show up, who knows where you’d be by then.

Yeah, most of them spent at least some part of their lives being regular schmoes. Now they’re former schmoes with lots of money and free time.

Am I being crazy naive for thinking that most of the times that celebs share a “look I’m a real person” story its because they are normal people? Just because they achieved success doesn’t mean they are so weird HOLLYWOOD LIBTARD or whatever, right?

I mean, if it was Marie Antoinette posting on The Gram showing her…
