The other day I went to the public library, otherwise known as “that place where homeless dudes shower,” and I thought to myself, “You know, these homeless dudes don’t smell as strongly of urine as they used to.” Now, from that observation you can conclude that either a) homeless dudes aren’t urinating on themselves as much, or b) there’s a lot more newer homeless people who haven’t learned the ways of the self pee pee. I think it’s the latter, and it’s because of this shitty economy. So, it was surprising when a new study was released today that said this:
Mass layoffs, the stock market collapse, and fears of a long recession haven’t put a dent in men’s shopping plans for the holiday season. Men aged 18-34 will “aggressively flock to stores for video games”
70% of men will spend the same or more this holiday season.
60% will pay full price and will not bargain hunt or wait for sales.
My dad was right about young people when said, “They dress like homosexuals.” But he was also right when he said “they’re stupid.” You know what my Grandpa did during the great depression? He killed the horse he used to ride through town and he fed his family with it. He didn’t kill it, and then trade it for a copy of Call of Duty 4.

I don’t know if the author of this article failed both creative writing and economics, but I’ve got two complaints here: One, that was a horrible lead-in from homeless people to somehow trying to relate the economy and video games, and two: the economy is bettered by spending money, not saving it. However, despite my arguments, I do agree that kids dress totally gayzorz.
THIS ARTICLE INSULTS ME and it hurts.
Yeah, Tacoman. You really dropped the ball on this one. I’m willing to bet that the VAST VAST VAST majority of your readers is the same 18-34 year old demographic that this article talks shit about.. I guess we should all be spending time reading money management articles instead of holytaco.com… especially when you post bullshit like this
George Bush was elected twice (well, he stole the first election, but you get the point). And you needed further proof that America is stupid?
Awesome! It’s so easy to offend the video game misfits. Used to be before video games, all you had to do was steal their 12-sided dice (yup, you’re the same geeks but with shaved heads). But seriously, if they didn’t spend their $$ on worthless entertainment, they might be able to save up for that house, or even fix up that shithole they currently call a home, but that means they’d be living next to me and their friends would be pulling up at all hours in their shitbox cars that are pimped out with the same disposable cash that they’ll be wishing they had now that Circuit City (their prime employer) closes all stores.
LMAO at this article and all you gays getting upset by it.
I just let my tool friend who goes and blows all this money on his video games (instead of saving for his wedding) buy them and I borrow them from his dumbass. I’ll probably wind up borrowing his fiance also while he’s masterbating to the new edition of World of Warcraft. Fags.
You can throw yourself in the pathetic category if paying 59.99 rather than 49.99 really breaks the bank.
…and then they were duped by the media into electing Obama. You’re correct, most of America is completely stupid… but sometimes not by choice.
I think this is a great article, I’m in the age category (26) and I feel like an outcast. Everyone is stupid and dress like homosexuals.
Dont know about that, but here in Spain the crisis hasn’t hit us that hard and I know of no one who’s ever bought a video game, and everybody’s still riding their horses.
Hint: There’s this interwebby thingy called torrent where you get anything for free.
LOL!!! and after the last election i think America has just hit an all-time low…
That’s interesting. So where hypothetically can I trade in my horse for a copy of Call of Duty 4?
awesome
I’d take the Call Of Duty.
You said doody. Huh huh huh
This is probably the dumbest article I have ever read. Your grandfather should of shot you then there would one less idiotwaisting peoples time on the web.
Men 18-34 spend there money on what they want to spend there money on. If they have money they can spend it on whatever they want.That doesnt make them stupid. MY grandfather once said that if someone calls another person stupid chances are they are the stupid one. I take it your grandfather never heard that one. Your grandfather should of shot himself instead stoping the lineage of dumb mutherfuckers like you.
“Your grandfather should of shot”
I take it you’re just so fanatically angry about how ‘dumb’ the author is that your grammar was just taking second place to you telling him off, so let me fix that for you, Mr. Hopelessly Hypocritical-Hung-Up-On-Fictional-Heritage.
“should have shot”
“should’ve” which I’ll assume you meant to say, being the contraction of the words “should” and “have”, not “should” and “of” which has no “v”
Awesome! You may resume playing Call of Duty, or take some of your own advice and tell your grandfather to shoot himself, go kill your father, and yourself.
Rebuttal? I think not.
This whole country is stupid

Wow, that is one of the most faggity articles I’ve ever read. I normally agree with, or at least can understand where you’re coming from…but this is too much. Your reasoning is ridiculous too…did you even look at those statistics??
How much do guys spend on video games in the first place? Honestly, you can’t imagine many people buying more than one or two games around this time. And the prices won’t go down, so f*ck bargain shopping; you can look at 3 ads and pick your spot…you’re not going to get a better price. Plus what the hell is bargain shopping for video games?? saving $5, maaaayybe $10??.
With this single article, you’ve completely deflated my confidence of the integrity in this site and I will never come back. I’m not happy about it, but I am personally banning this site…from myself. If you could, I would appreciate that you would block my IP Address from this site so that I am not accidentally redirected to this site (I don’t really know how that works, but it would make things easier for me).
I’ll find my boobies and interesting articles elsewhere.
Screw you guys, I’m going home.
Call of Duty: World at War, actually.
