Robert Deniro opens up shop in Shanghai

Not sure how long this clothing store has been in existence on the northwest corner of Shaanxi Nan Lu and Changle Lu, but we just noticed it on Sunday. The Chinese characters on the sign — 兴昌祥服饰 — means "auspicious, prospering and flourishing clothing." Mr. Deniro's entry into the Shanghai market is further proof of what Shanghaiist has been writing about the actor ever since his 1965 debut: He's been riding Liv Tyler's coattails his entire career.

    I mean "free to join" as in without having to pay for the expensive clothes.

    Who's Robert De Niro? If it's free to join, I want to be auspicious, prospering, and flourishing too.

    @Dextrum - is this your first day on the Internets?

  • Sharpie

    you're right. they are most likely referring to one of the robert deniros who aren't famous. my bad.

  • Dextrum

    Because the shop would be needing to use Robert De Niro's image in order to be said to be passing off, ie obtaining financial gain from the use of this name.



    ie, there are 525,000 Robert De Niro's in the world,therefore who is to say it is the actor whose name is being used.

    i am confused, dextrum. what are the obvious reasons?

  • Dextrum

    I am Robert DeNiro of Apt 115 Springdale Gardens, Hibiscus Avenue, Miami Florida USA.



    Are you by any chance talking about me. I am meeting with my lawyers today.



    What a moronic article for obvious reasons.
