Do you want to be like Bad Sweater Guy? Of course you do. Silly question. Two Chicago entrepreneurs have taken it upon themselves to help the sweater-deficient members of our society by opening a store that sells only Bad Sweaters. If you're heading to a Bad Sweater Party, the Ugly Sweater Store will hook you up. Most of them seem to be holiday-themed and fairly reasonably priced ($20-$25). So if you're tired of rooting around the bargain bins at Goodwill or, you know, going to Sears, the Ugly Sweater Store might be your best best. Tell them Bad Sweater Guy sent you.
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.
