Bikinis Half Price. Get 'Em Before They're All Gone

[Skwim]

Came across the following ad while reading PHARYNGULA.

​

I'm looking for an explanation. Is there really a market for a $200 bikini, much less one for $400?

This is crazy.

So....which mankini did you buy?

(An out of date spell checker we have....."mankini" is flagged as wrong!)

Depends on the body under the bikini.

No, just no. Probably costed them 1$ to make them, if that! I can't believe some people are insecure/stupid enough to buy them. >_> It boggles my mind.

yes, girls will pay just about anything for stuff if it has a fancy name attatched to it. im sure some guys do the same thing as well. my ex girlfriend had a purse addiction and didnt think twice about spending 400 bucks for a purse on a regular basis, sometimes only using it once or twice. it was insane! i dont even want to get into all the clothes in her closet she never wore and paid a small fortune for. this is typical of alot of girls i know too.

Amazing! Can't believe such a large price for so small a product.
Is that a typical price? Would a Wallmart bikini be as expensive?

Could one buy just the bottom for half the price, or just the top and wear Fruit-of-the-Loom briefs on the bottom?
