Remember when Winona Ryder stole a bunch of stuff?

Yeah, I know. Old news. But every now and again I think it’s important to take a strol down memory lane. It wasn’t that long ago, a mere 3 years, that Winona Ryder stole sub-par clothes from a hight end boutique.

“(Ryder) walked out of the Los Angeles boutique Shabon with clothes worth 1100 dollars. 80 dollar boots were already on her feet, as well as a brand new belt around her waist. Just a few minutes earlier, she had pestered the shop assistant about a discount … when the discount was denied, she went without paying. Because of the security cameras, they could verify that the star had left the store without paying. Rie Fujii, the owner of Shabon, set up a deal with Ryder: the store would not report the incident to the police if Ryder herself paid the 1100$ within eight days. But she never did. Instead, Ryder’s assistant contacted Shabon and paid the bill with her own credit card.” 

The shoes I have on right now cost more than $80, and I am a dude. Let that settle.  I am a dude. Clearly, the problem isn’t a problem involving ethics.
