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.

Cold Affront

Jason_2Jason from South Florida sends us this terrible sweater that initially made us hungry for a sandwich. He claims that the sweater has green and yellow stripes, but judging by the creepy tendrils, our bets are on another explanation.

But wait -- what's with the rare sweater-shorts combo? Jason explains that it's always hot in Florida, but "when the AC is cranked, you need something more." No, Jason. You need something less.

And where are you working, anyway? A call-in show for shark-bite victims? Shark books to your right, microphone to your left and bad taste all around.
