Bad Sweater Guy: O Canada!

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.

O Canada!

Did you know that Bad Sweater Guy is huge in Canada? No, it's true. And not just in Winnipeg either.

MTV Live (that's sort of the Canadian equivalent of TRL for you Americans) has had Bad Sweater Guy as a Hot Topic guest twice now. He has sounded off on everything from Britney Spears to swine flu. It's sort of a McLaughlin Group for the E! Online crowd.

So with the sudden surge of popularity up north, we expect to see a flood of photos of Canadians in bad sweaters arriving in our mailbox very soon. C'mon, Canadians. I know you have one or two bad sweaters hidden away somewhere.

Nice try...most of those don't even fit you? Did you raid a Goodwill or Salvation Army drops off box. Hey maybe you can spin this blog into an opportunity to become a model for a Abercrombie & Fitch...like an good attention craving reality tv man/woman whore
