Arctic Explorer or A******?

     I am disgusted that in this day and age we are bringing back fur as a hot fashion piece. I've always frowned upon the Canada Goose jacket trend, I mean these are jackets used for arctic conditions, by explorers of the frozen tundra, all of a sudden Will.I.Am is caught skiing in one and know they are a must have? At a whooping price of at least $900, as Mackelmore would say, "I call that getting swindled and pimped, I call that get tricked by a business!" These jackets are filled with "humanely selected" goose feathers, but I can respect that is key to their insulation. My problem is with the fur hood trim, that is solely fashionable, and responsible for the cruel deaths of coyotes. The claim is that the fur trim creates a scientifically proven wind break against moisture and blah blah blah....I call bull shit. Seems a tad unnecessary for the spoiled 17 year old strutting the streets of Ottawa, no? Beyond Canada Goose as a brand, this has set a fashion precedent for many knock-off brands that a resorting to cheaper materials, such as dog and cat fur in Asia. This pretentious and ignorant choice of coat may show how much money you have to spare, but doesn't reflect much common sense. But hey, at least they are a "proud sponsor of Polar Bears International", because they totally care about animals and aren't trying to get your money, at all!!!!
