Your Kickstarter Sucks - Slim
“Here’s one of the awful featured ones. A tiny wallet that only holds credit cards. You sort of stuff them all in there like you’re putting a deck of playing cards back in the box, then you have to pull them all out and flip through them to find the one you want. Everything about this thing reeks of trendy hipster graphic design and hollow buzzword marketing, like if Apple were to design a wallet and then do a TED talk about it. The lower case logo with the last vowel missing and a superfluous period at the end (the irony that I’m typing that into Tumblr is not lost on me, don’t worry), the emphasis on “simplicity” and “minimalism” as though buying useless fashion accessories online isn’t the antithesis of those things, the Thomas Friedman gee-wiz technofetishism and namedropping of other products. It makes me sick. I hate this goddamn wallet”
