What BBN said about it

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentGU, the Japanese clothing chain, is releasing a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure winter collection on December eleventh, including knitwear based on Dio's Stone Mask.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorA cursed mask, a drop date, a sweater version. Kenji, that is a Florida timeshare presentation with better lighting.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe mask turns people into vampires in the story. Florida is a state, Chip, not a lore wiki.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorVampires who stay indoors all day and come out at night in pastel? Kenji, that is every retirement community I have ever loved.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentVillains.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorExactly, and the line also has villain-inspired designs, which is just a Florida city council meeting with better tailoring.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentFlorida Man Rating: two alligators, since nobody there needs a winter collection. Rex, bring us something less cursed.
