Wal-Mart Buying Tommy Hilfiger

[erpowers]

I just heard that Wal-Mart is buying Tommy Hilfiger. Does anyone who why this is happening?

[nini]

1. Why the HELL would he sell to them?

Guess he's a bigger money whore than I even realized. I am proud to say I have NEVER bought his crap.

2. Wal-Mart is able to buy people now?

I didn't think that was legal...but then again, it is Wal-Mart.

3. His Clothing Line

Maybe you were just joking, but if you were not I meant they are supposedly buying his clothing line.

4. yeah, I'm just a jackass

but also, screw Wal-Mart and screw T.H. I never bought any of his clothes anyway.

5. Did Tommy ever actually design anything?

Seems all he ever did was put his name on generic sweatshirts and shit...

He probably figured it was easier to just sell out to them in one big sweep instead of letting them slowly take over his business and run it into the ground, like they did with Tupperware, Levi's, MasterLock, etc...
