I happened by the table in the hall today and the above advertisement for Simpsons figurines caught my eye.
Collect all 6!
You only need to buy a family meal!
Not a bad deal, eh? You buy food, they give you a free Simpsons figurine. You nom on fried chicken skin and potato salad and watch it gain value over the years. They didn’t give away 30 trillion of the fuckers, so it’s gotta be worth something on eBay someday, right?
Well, sure, maybe. If they 1) didn’t sell 30 trillion of the fuckers and 2) didn’t charge you $209.94 plus tax
That’s right, those 6 plastic figurines are going to run you over two hundred fucking dollars.
What’s humanity coming to?
