Mogul Shirt Holds a Cigar and a Tasteless Executive

Anyone can smoke a cigar, but only overpaid corporate executives can smoke them knowing that they deserve to smoke them. A half pack of cigarettes worth of tobacco just tastes better after a long day of mergers, acquisitions, and dream-crushing. That sense of cancerous entitlement inspired Thomas Pink’s “Mogul Shirt.” It’s got a small pocket…

We have quite the infatuation with toasters of all shapes and sizes around these parts. So it makes me super giddy in the pantalones that someone has gutted a toaster and put a PS2 inside.
