My Photo

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.

Winnipeg, lose a peg

Winnipeg Some people say Ibiza is where all the action's at. Others like Prague. But as this article in the Winnipeg Free Press shows, Winnipeg, Canada, is the place to be during the many long months of winter. Friday's high temperature? Zero. That's the high.

Anyway, Winnipeg (city motto: You know North Dakota? Go Norther!) has a host of bad sweater fans who are more than proud to show off their wares. Some folks in the article claim they invented the concept of bad sweater parties, but oh, the folly of Canadian youth. We just hope they send us some photos of those parties. And frankly, you should do the same.
