The story

  • Not so long ago, my friend Kevin cleaned out his wardrobe, which, due to his pack rat nature, was crammed with clothes he hadn't worn in more than a decade. Among the discarded were 25 sweaters that can generously be described as "hideous." Or, as one critic put it, "Bill Cosby would not wear this." Kevin's defense? "I worked at Marshalls in North Olmsted, Ohio, during high school and got a 15 percent discount. It was cold. It was the late '80s." The horror, the horror. Click here to see them, but be warned. Your eyes. The burning.

Fright Christmas

Ryan from Ohio (think he worked at the Marshalls, too?) send these Christmas treats. "I wish I could say we have dressed like that every Christmas, or everyday for that matter, but it was a special event. My cousins and I dug up some truly heinous sweaters out of the attics of our parents to help make a very special retro holiday." Thanks Ryan!


We're sure your parents love you -- but this is pushing it. It's a very special Sharks and Jets Christmas. In the middle, what happens to all those penguins who don't survive the long march. The fur is soft and water resistant.

Holiday horrors

An anonymous fan from Virginia (wouldn't be Langley, would it? We have ways of making you talk) sent in this gem from a bad sweater party (at least that what he claims. We think these guys were dressed for a Saturday night on the town).


A very Sentox Christmas. On the left, it tries to say: Fruity! Really says: An apple a day keeps the sex away. In the middle, our friend is thinking, perhaps this butch scarf will hide the pain. Dream on. And on the right, tries to say: Nutcracker Sweet! Really says: King of the sugar plum fairies.

Apache chief

 Rob from Boulder kindly sent two sweaters to our cause -- but was too ashamed to actually wear them. Pussy. Luckily Kevin, sporting his new "enforcer" hairdo, agreed to model the horrors. Mostly because he has no shame left.


Journey to the Center of the Girth. Tries to say: Don't tread on me. Really says: Oh wait, you already have -- twice. (Added bonus: It repels water).



Transformer Optimus Prime fights a God's eye to death. You'd think the dreamcatcher would have caught a nightmare like this. Tries to say: Inuk-chuk! Really says: Imagine the tears he would have shed over this.
