I woke up this morning with a singular goal in mind. While it probably should have been to study for my upcoming finals, that's not even close to the thing that was occupying the dusty corners of my swarming mind. My mind was focused on scoring one of these:

I dreamt longingly about the purchase of this poster last night. I have long been a Hawkeye fan and this immediately fell into my "I need" radar. It is a limited run release of 220 prints by Mondo, an extremely well respected fan-art company. Their prints tend to sell out within the blink of an eye and are extremely collectible. 

Now, as fate would have it, despite my constant page refreshes and nearly immediate ordering when it came available, I got the message that it was SOLD OUT (within 10 seconds of it going for sale). And let me just express how many ways that pisses me off!

Before I start, do this simple exercise: Go to ebay, search for 'Hawkeye Mondo' and tell me what you find. That's right - pages of this sold out poster up for sale for 6 times the original price ($45). 

So, let me address you douche-tards who buy this stuff just to put it up on eBay: You butt-lickers are everything that is wrong with this world. You are bottom-feeding parasites that make it hard for anyone to be able to afford anything they love. How about if you twat-scicles let one of us real fans get a poster for once. Sure, isn't it dandy that you just made $250 in 10 seconds because you have a faster internet connection than me. Well, I hope that you get raped by a syphilis-infected elephant! 

I honestly probably shouldn't be as angry as I am right now but I have to admit that I am seriously contemplating duct-taping myself to the door of Mondo's art gallery in butt-arse-naked fashion with my twig-and-berries flapping against the glass unless they address this issue...

Some pretty awesome illustrations by artist Bjorn Hurri.
