Ed Hardy Reminds Us That He Is The Worst
This is a promotional video from the Ed Hardy website about the company's founder, Christian Audigier. It seems to have been made for the express purpose of reminding everyone that he is the worst, but it also reminds us that if you give celebrities enough free stuff they will pretend that you're not (the worst). Because they are also kind of the worst.
This thing is upholstered in wall to wall class. ET TU, CHEADLE?
There is so much Larry King in this video it's nuts. Larry King has his finger on the pulse of America*. He's like, "Mom, come pick me up from the mall." He's like, "Mom, I want a new bejeweled tank top with a dragon fucking a skull made of roses for my 900th birthday." Look at him:
BALLIN'. He beat up a 13-year-old girl and took her jeans and the cops won't say shit to him. He went to Christian Audigier's birthday party and took a dump in the chocolate fountain because HE GETS CONFUSED SOMETIMES.
What am I even talking about? Oh, right, Ed Hardy. Not good. (Thanks for the tip, Max.)
*You can make your own joke about the coroner having his finger on the pulse of Larry King, etc.

celebrities are just like us!: they make pleased/surprised-poorly-masking-their-horror-faces when presented with hideous gifts!
Score = 3
The worst, indeed. I don't think I've actually ever heard his name pronounced before. Totally not what I thought. And can't all of Hollywood admit that "Ed Hardy" is crap? Or are they all too cool to admit it? Or am I that out of that fashion scene to get it? Sadly, it's a bit of both.

Where did this Ed Hardy shit even come from. It's like I just woke up one day and Ed Hardy was the official brand of bad taste.

No footage from the Ed Hardy vineyard?

"When I see trucker hat, I see piece of Americana." Funny, all I see is a mesh douche bag. Also, can you say 'king of fashion' one more time please, because I didn't get the point that Michael Jackson thinks you're the king of fashion. Nice.
Score = 5
..because being called the King of Fashion by someone that wears sequined band uniforms and baseball catcher's shin guards is the kind of validation most designers can only dream of.
Score = 7
Really? "Passion for design"? "King of fashion"?
Dude, all you did was buy the rights to copy Ed Hardy's tatoo designs and stick them on t-shirts, pants, uggs, wine bottles and anything else you could think of.
You can have passion or be a king when you actually do something creative, not just dress the douchebags of the world.

One of the brands on the step-and-repeat (thanks Housewives) is Christian Audigier: The Nightclub. I want to go there, bring my douchemeter and watch it explode.

all i'm saying is... you can buy this shit at costco.
pretty much nullifies any claim your brand may have once laid to exclusivity...
sorry, christian.

I was really disappointed watching that video. Sure, I saw celebrities I would expect to see wearing that ugly bullshit (Jamie Foxx, Paris Hilton), but I also saw a couple of them that I actually semi-respected before this (DiCaprio, Beckham, Lil Wayne, etc.). What the fuck, guys? You put me under the false impression that you could tell a stupid trend when you see one, but you really let me down in that department.
Score = -2
if it's any consolation (it is), neither dicaprio nor beckham were actually WEARING ed hardy shit, they just quickly put in pictures of them posing with the asshole.
Score = 0
Well to be fair... say what you will about how good they are at their respective jobs but DiCaprio, Lil' Wayne, and Beckham are hardly paragons of high taste and elegance.
Score = 3
you had respect for Lil Wayne. that's funny.

its an epic showdown between terrifying and hysterically funny as to whether or not I'm going to make that picture of Larry King my new desktop background
Score = 1
I think the only real question is if we should take the image, screenprint it on some cloth and make it the official flag of America. Star an bars? Really?! That's so 1770s. Give me the Larry King -- The Ed Hardy, baby

He's from Avignon. That actually explains a lot. He dreamed of leaving Avignon to move to Hollywood - the man is mentally ill.

Anyone know what that song is? They use that goddamned song in everything. Like in Chevy commercials and Transformers (which was basically a Chevy commercial).

I bet he spends 90% of income on Ads and PR such as this video, and hardly gets the surplus from the sales,
