Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Yeah they’re out of the shoes, too.

When I try to think of things that would sell out quickly, clown shoes were not on my list but here we are.

That’s $1.5M. Eternal grifting.

I love the disclaimer of “The images shown are for illustration purposes only….” Meaning the final product will probably look 1000x worse.

dont tell me those are the actual shoes.

holy shit. i dont have any deference for the us-flag whatsoever, but if someone showed me these shoes and a video of somebody pissing on the flag, i would be hard-pressed to say which is less respectful of the flag

Limit 3 pairs instead of Limit 1 pair sounds odd to me. As if it's intended to be scalped.

One to wear, one to seal away in the vault, and one to resell immediately.
