This is a real thing in the world.

I was looking for something on eBay this weekend and among the results was the below listing, which had absolutely fuck-all to do with for what I was searching, making stumbling across it all the more hilarious:


Image Description: A screen cap of an eBay listing for a "HORRIBLY UGLY CHRISTMAS SWEATER VEST."


Image Description: Screen cap of the item description, which reads: "UGLYCHRISTMAS SWEATER VEST SIZE 3X. THIS HORRIBLY UGLY VEST IS BLACK WITH GOLD METALLIC CROCHETED TRIM AROUND FRONT,BOTTOM AND ARM HOLES. IT HAS TACKY RED AND MAROON POINTSETTIAS WITH METALLIC KNOTTED BALLS IN CENTER.ORANGE AND GOLD KNIT BOW ACCENTS.V NECK WITH GOLD BUTTONS DOWN FRONT WOMENS SIZE 3X BUT WILL FIT A MAN AS WELL. LEAVE OPEN FOR EXTRA ROOM. SEE MEASUREMENTS."

So brilliant.

I'm only sorry that I forgot to post it before the auction ended, Shakers.

With any luck, it will be relisted, since there were, shockingly, no bidders.
