Bigotry and Faggotry

Everything you read about Ms Tyler Brule makes you understand the meaning of old-school queen-ship and bigotry alot more. His latest rant is the apogee of such. Read and weep: "European luxury brands are risking their cachet and alienating Western shoppers by changing designs to appeal to the Chinese market. Many brands added a little bit of jingle-jangle to their bags and a few shiny zippers and buckles to their shoes, which was not core to their aesthetic before. Some of these companies now are putting out products that Europeans wouldn’t touch." -- Tyler Brule, the creator of Monocle (Source: Bloomberg).

I think what Ms Brule is trying to say here is that Chinese people have inherantly vulgar taste, and Europeans are inherantly superior. You must remember this the next time you are tempted to pick up a copy of that very dull magazine she publishes. She should pack up and go live in Hong Kong where the colonial mentality thrives. How old-school is that?
