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.

What's 8 percent of yuck?

Norway_sweaters_1Still need to make some last-minute purchases? The Associated Press says sales of one item in particular will be up a whopping 8 percent over last year. Candy! No, it's sweaters. Duh. What site do you think you're on, anyway? The AP says "Traditional gifts like sweaters are back in vogue this holiday season, after recently falling out of fashion..." Out of fashion? No such thing. The story goes on: "This season, it's all about color options and new styles." I can see that.

But if you really want to impress people, take the next step and buy some sweater gear. That never goes out of style.
