Ridiculous Modeling Caption Contest!

Topman’s Spring Utility Campaign

Topman is kinda like ASOS.  Some of their stuff would have potential, if their models weren’t so underfed and down in the dumps.  Come guys.  If getting your picture taken really makes you so despondent, you might want to opt for a new career.  Something other than modeling.

Topman is pushing a new spring trend of “Utility.”  Y’know, clothes inspired by classic workwear.  Not that you’d actually ever work in these clothes.  But… well maybe they’re just made to look like you could.  If you lived and worked in the mid 19th century.

Anyway, here’s a full promo pic.  More shots from the campaign over at Topman.com.  Leave your caption in the comments section below.   And remember, this is supposed to make you want to buy the clothes.

I’ll go first: The bastard zombie sons of Keira Knightly and Pete Towsened have come for your brains!
BRAAAAAAAAAAAAINS!
.

Makes me want to watch Pirates of the Caribbean then crank up Who’s Next:

Your turn.  No prizes on the line though.  Because if the looks on the faces of those two child laborers aren’t proof enough… there are no winners this time.

    I’m so depressed because I can’t afford the $450 suit to wear with a dingy low-neck t-shirt to an event I would never get invited to anyway…

    OK lads, for this one give me Eyeore’s lost his job, his house is in foreclosure, the 100 acre wood’s been leveled to make way for a Mega-Mall, and Piglet’s just snorted his Prozac. Perfect.
