How hard can this be?

I found this lovely item for sale in the on-line store of a very hip little shop. http://domy.myshopify.com/products/shikito-brown

Really? Seriously?
This item (ahem. "Vinyl Toy") retails for $25. It is the icon for the B*Shit line of streetware. And for those of you who don't use "streetware" in your daily vocabulary, I suppose it means T-shirts you use to make a statement, instead of those that emerged from near the top of the laundry hamper. But, back to the vinyl toy. It struck me: someone manufactured, packaged and marketed it.

I'm thinking that the rest of us who are not in this line of work, well, we are just a bunch of uptight overachievers.
