My Brother, The Fraudster

This will be a brief interruption to my monthly schedule, to tell you a brief personal story. Now, last month before Christmas (and sometimes after Christmas). I've bought a lot of stuff. Many of which to be either comic books, manga, or even the Biggie & Tupac documentary made by Nick Broomfeld. But then, I was surprised to discover that I also bought quite a few stuff that I didn't want, or even know about. For instance, some headphones, something related to a website or online company called "Flower Girl", and some transaction to a random kid I don't know about and he isn't a charity case. This is because I didn't buy those things at all. My younger brother did on behalf of myself.

It's possible that he's been up to this since soon after Christmas. Basically , him and his dimwitted friends thought it a good idea to buy superficial crap for each other. Not content with the idea he probably has over a hundred pounds already, but doesn't have a debit card to buy stuff online, used mine instead. So, with the card, he bought a pair of special headphones for his iPod. An iPod, mind you that only he has, and nobody else. But those headphones weren't just regular headphones, Oh no. No, he bought a set of headphones promoted by Dr. Dre. Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce to you the iBeats Headphones with Control Talk by Dr. Dre. Now I invite you to look at this and tell me they are they are worth £79:00:

What's more, he also somehow gave money to one of his friends that I've never seen in life, and that cost me £24.99. Perhaps even funnier and more relevant to me writing this article is what he and his friends thought about purchasing:


Know what this is? It's a Black Jesus necklace! The type worn by hip-hop "icons" like Jay-Z, Tinchy Stryder and none than Kanye West!


While I could speculate on their...unusual taste in jewellery, I mean I still don't understand why it could warrant £40 on eBay, it still astonishes me that the influence of music artists is enough for young minds to even consider purchasing such nonsense. I mean, if Kanye West, Jay-Z or Tinchy Stryder never wore stuff like that across their necks, it would be just another shitty blacked-out necklace. In any case, I now took several measures to ensure it doesn't happen again, which included, but wasn't limited to going to  the bank and having my card changed, and having an online account. Funny enough, I was receiving money from my brother, without being aware for what purpose exactly, since he didn't have the balls to me he's been using my card. "Uh, at least you got the money back!". Nice.

I can now officially say that I really dislike Kanye West after all of this. I mean, my money wasn't used to buy one of his shitty necklaces, and he's not the one who tells anyone to buy anything. But really, if you're going to endorse crap, why don't you make it clear that what you're endorsing is crap?

(Apologies for finishing this late. Having problems with my laptop. Still not using my laptop).
