I'd carry it as a man-purse... it's so badass I won't care what my friends think of me anymore.

Omg that is like, gag me with a spoon fabulous.

That makes me cry inside. :/

my "hot topic's bastardization of cultural gems" gland just esploded

Stupid penis... anyone have a sharp knife and a few years of med school I can borrow for a bit?

zomg is right, that's hotness. thank god for giving me a vag.

anyways, colette.. you need to get on stickam more! gay rave just isn't the same without you around

Fucking A.

I will buy that. It is worth venturing into a Hot Topic.

I just have to ask because this has been bugging me on several occasions. Why do you act like Hot Topic is evil? I work there and am a hard core gamer, periond, not some vampire freak. Everyone acts like ht is only about emo shit and kids that cut themselves. Was it a couple years ago? Yea, but its more diverse than that.

@.tiff
Seriously shut up. You have no idea what you are talking about. ht bastardizing something you love? Oh wait lets see, the only reason that there is a product like this is because Nintendo ALLOWED for it to be made. Nintendo (as well as many other companys) license out their ips to others, who then make the products. And where do they end up? In a store that just cause some emo kids like to hang around (we all hate them btw) has to be a shitty place.

To say ht destroys cult classics or underground culture is bullshit. Blame the creators for selling out if you think its so awful that you can buy some pretty sweet stuff.

Wow. That was a little uncalled for. :/

Colette Bennett is so chic. If I order you one of those Zelda bags, will you please hang out with me? I'll take you to school in Dr. Maro.

To weigh in on the Hot Topic debate, this might make me sound like an old fogey, but I remember when I was in high school, we didn't have the convenience of stores like Hot Topic. If we wanted to get a Clash tshirt we had to mail order it from a store in the back pages of MRR. If you walked around wearing something cool, it was because you worked hard to find it. It kind of showed your devotion. If a tshirt's design had faded and started to peel, it was because you loved the tshirt enough to wear it into the ground.

My personal distaste over Hot Topic isn't a problem with the store itself as much as it's mourning the loss of certain signifiers. I also think it's bit ridiculous to sell so much Anarchy merchandise when your story pretty much represents the essence of capitalism. Anarchism will probably never be accepted as a viable political form of organization, but having proto-fascist teeny boppers wearing anarchy tshirts in the mall definitely doesn't help the cause.

Of course, I myself am willing to instantly sacrifice all my beliefs to get my hands on one of those mind-numbingly awesome Zelda bags.

I will rage against all the haters and say, I LOVE HOT TOPIC! Actually, not really, but they do have some cool video game shit there, and that is more than worth going to the store for. Granted, the people that work there often scare me, but they are nice when i spend $100 on mario crap and zelda hoodies...I get my video game clothing fix wherever i can get it...lol...

Aw Tristero >.<

I blushed.

Wouldn't say it if it wasn't true. Save the blushing for Dr. Mario though. It'll be embarassing how fast I win.

Hot topic is not punk rock!

ANGRY! I went to hot topic and they did not have said bag...sad panda...

over NINE THOUSAND! i still want one of these bags. by the way, fuck ELI, and i had a great time hanging out with yous, colette.
