Non-Obscure Objects of Desire

Consumer picks of the moment: t-shirts at threadless.com and a funny political one at goats.com. Graduated from Urban Outfitters but not quite to the Crate and Barrell level of bourgeois conformity? Try CB2, the hipper, cheaper version.

I recently bought a copy of Cargo, the boy’s version of Lucky, which is to say, a consumer’s guide without the boring objectivity or ratings of Consumer Reports. Consumer Reports may tell you if a car is safe and reliable, and may even offer notes on whether it looks good and handles well, but only Cargo will give you a two-page spread about the various iPod cases on the market.

Yes, this is obviously the shirt for me. Mmmm, brains and money.
