Hot Topic still exists in plenty of malls that still exist, but I imagine like 90% of their sales are done online because their stores are tiny and mostly empty whenever I check the location near me every once in a blue moon.

The company that owns them owns Torrid, Talbots, and other clothing stores too, so I doubt they really care if Hot Topic stores are a loss leader at this point.

Are other hot topics super cramp and half the people inside are employees?

Yeah, they're all like this. Every location is smaller than a Cinnabon stand and has like 3 employees just milling around near the Funko Pops for whatever bizarre reason.

i don’t know what is the more bizarre cultural relic: Invader Zim poo poo, or The Nightmare Before Christmas poo poo

The Night Before Christmas owns though, so the its enduring status as a cult hit is extremely cool and good.

My girlfriend found this on the Hot Topic website. (Now she owns it) Pretty cool, I must say, and not that Hot Topic-y.

That's pretty amazing. I ordered a very similar Sorcerer Mickey dress for my girlfriend for her upcoming birthday. She would adore that dress too because she loves Marie.

They have a lot of Harry Potter poo poo in there too.

HP, the book series that ended 12 years ago.

Yeah, are you gonna wonder why stores are full of Marvel, Pokemon, Alice in Wonderland, and Star Wars stuff next? :goonsay:

The Walgreens near where I work has Nightmare Before Christmas poo poo already in preparation for Halloween. This movie needs to go away

You suck. Nightmare Before Christmas is the best Halloween movie next to Hocus Pocus.

It's an alright movie but I want Halloween decorations, not Nightmare Before Christmas swag, and certainly not having it be considered an essential part of the holiday. Also James and the Giant Peach is better.

Coraline is better than both. Fight me.

I was browsing OKC recently and sent a message to a fat goth girl. She was pretty hot imo.



She didn't respond.

I don't think she missed out on much.
