Preface: I thrifted this Le Tigre jacket, right, and it doesn't suit me so I was going to sell it. I run a Google search for "le tigre clothing" hoping to stumble on a better place to sell than eBay. So Google "le tigre clothing" and see what you get [nonsense lists of random phrases], and look at the domain names [all following the format name1andname2.com, with bizarre names, as in allisonanddane.com].

What is the deal with these pages? Maybe look at the Google cache version like I did, who knows what they'll try to do with your browser.

yeah, and when you click on them they take you straight to eBay!

that's the weirdest thing I've ever seen.

I hypothesize that it involves some money-making scheme done via page referrals. Weird.

Mar 27, 2003/ FWD/ -- It may sound like yet another comeback story: Le Tigre, the striped sport shirt label started in the late '70s to give Lacoste's crocodile a little rumble in the jungle, is re-launching for fall 2003.
