If you ask nice, you can have your way with her for much less than half price.

It's cheaper to rent than to own. ;)

it is actually a funny comment on the greed and financial corruption around most things in this world.

someone made those probably 2-3 months ago at least, or ordered them... thinking of the "windfall" of money they'd make.

"let's profit off someone else's stuff / idea"

hopefully that old woman was not some greedy old hag, but a person conned into selling them now.

Greed?  Financial corruption?

I've got to respectfully disagree with you there.  They made an investment, took a risk.  Sometimes investment risks pay off, sometimes they don't.

If Paris had won the bid, then the architect of that would have profited richly and be praised for sound business accumen.

Instead, he's out the capital it took to make the shirts.  He put his money on the table and busted, it happens.

Business=risk, and that's fine.  I posted the picture because I thought it was funny, not because I was saddened by the terrible greed of the proprietor.

No kidding... it's photoshopped. I didn't look closely enough at it before.

I guessed it was photoshopped because of the cardboard sign (the line color remains the same, doesn't seem to have any reflection artifacts, there's something that looks like evidence of magic-brush blurring covering old text, but that might be a JPG artifact), plus some of the text on the shirts looks a little 'off'.  I didn't mean to imply that this was real, just saw something that made me laugh that I thought I'd share.
