Fashion Faux Pas For Men – Don’t Try These Outside of Home

Open up the latest issue of GQ, and what do you see? Poorly written articles and an endless homage to male vanity.

Now as far as I’m concerned, a slave to fashion it still ultimately – nicely dressed or not – a fashion victim.

And so, for those poor victims, here are the five latest fashion statements that are deemed “deplorable” by the elitist fashionistas and pretentious gadabouts, fops, and general snot-rags that work at GQ.

Now you know...

The kilt
If you’re sporting a kilt, the general public might think you’re a drunken Scotsman looking for a fight and willing to show off his hairy balls. If you’re sporting an accompanying sporran, the general public might think you’re a drunken Scotsman looking to cut off their hairy balls. If you’re wearing your kilt over your head and urinating in public, then congratulations – you are the real deal. And everyone loves authenticity! They just hate kilts – so don’t wear one.

The single nose earring
Back in the ’80s, it was said that if a guy wore only one nose earring he was a circus freak. In the 90’s, the guy was trendy. Today if both aren’t pierced in order to obtain the symmetrical look, your sexuality will come into question: As in your utter lack of one. Hey, we don’t make the rules – those smug double-nosed pierced bastards at GQ do!

Loafers with the wrong accoutrements
Loafers without attitude don’t work. Loafers with a punk hairdo don’t work. Loafers without socks are apparently worse than masturbating in front of your grandmother and if you’re thinking of wearing loafers with a sweater around your neck then just go and hang yourself. Oh, and according to those in the know, most loafers don’t breathe well. What are the right accoutrements to wear with loafers? Well, GQ isn’t going to tell you that! Then who would the have to snicker at, hmm? 


The Salvador Dali waxed moustache
Apparently the Daliesque mustache is as dead as Dali and deader than surrealism and even deader than a truckload of symbolic fish. Best bet is stay clear of facial hair all round. But feel free to wear a melted clock around your neck – those are hot, hot, hot! 

The codpiece
If you must stuff – use the codpiece. It’s back and it’s “bigger” than ever. So put on your tight fitting breeches and attach the pouch at the crotch. Like the plague and syphilis, the codpiece is a timeless classic!

Forget about those filthy unkempt rabblerousing hippies. Screw those lousy, cheating, greedy bastards at the IRS. And a big “kiss my ass” to all your other troubles. Tonight it’s time for you to sit ‘way back, relax and listen to top Columbia artists perform music on this album with you in mind – the poor, put upon, schlep who can’t afford a lobotomy but might be able to scratch up the dough for a Barcalounger.

Here is music to satisfy your urge to let life slip you by in a wonderful coma state. Here is music to listen to while drooling in a semi-vegetative dead-eyed gaze. Here is music to give you an idea of what things will be like once you are dead and all your heartaches and troubles are gone – or are at least now someone else’s!

Songs like Fill Me With Tranquilizers, which really sum up how you feel about your problems. Or the eminently listenable The Barcalounger Trance by those somnambulant comatose kings of sleepy and escapist music, The Unconscious States.

Whatever your listless and tranquilized whim, Music to Relax By In Your Barcalounger, will match your sedated mood. Sure, you’d rather be dead, but you can’t afford it. Yeah, a lobotomy would be sweet, but that won’t help pay the bills. Nope, you’re going to have wait a little longer until the big day finally comes and you finally find yourself in some kind of blissful, brain-dead state, or even better – a totally dead state. Until then about all you can do is buy a Barcalounger, self medicate, drink lots of alcohol, and try and make the world go away.

Institutionalized Cruise Is Feeling Better

Crazy wing-nut, and institutionalized actor, Tommy Cruiser, is reportedly rallying and in better spirits.

”He’s eating and he’s stopped cutting himself. Those are both good signs,” says “Bedlam & Breakfast” Institute head Robyn Hitchcock.

The actor has been held since being found
living on the streets, delusional and with his hair hacked off.

Cruise apparently had become overwrought and “overexcited” when he learned that the spaceship he claimed would be arriving for him, did in fact arrive but overlooked making him their alien God and instead inspected Kelly Preston’s brain for signs of life, did the usual Hollywood tourist stuff and then left a raunchy and tasteless message on his voice mail. 

Cruiser is staying at The Hollywood “Bedlam & Breakfast.” The infamous “resort” has in the past hosted a number of psychologically challenged stars including, Bela Lagosi, Frank Sinatra and Betty Boop.

The deluded canned ham should be allowed visitors within the next week. “Of course, he’s already had lost of imaginary ones, and now we’re working our way up to real people. He’s getting closer,” said Hitchcock.

World’s 10 Most Powerful Superwomen

Our very first ranking of the World's 10 Most Powerful Superwomen is done. We’ve picked the chicks and ranked these ladies like they were common beauty queens. Our results are based on their résumés, babe factor, superpower abilities, and biggest gonads in the global marketplace.  

1. Condoleezza Rice
Secretary of State – U.S.
Superpower – Invincible To Fire


She is the first African-American woman to become the U.S. secretary of state and she is impervious to flames. She advises the stupidest man in the world and can live on the sun.

With her steely nerve, magical golden vest and assortment of heavy chains, the "Warrior Princess" can swallow nuclear bombs, shoot bolts of fire from her nostrils and still find the time to make a bunt cake. Will she run for president? Find out in the next issue: “Warrior Princess: The Taste of Absolute Power!” 

2. Wu Yi
Vice Premier, Minister of Health – China
Superpower – Can Fly


Having risen up the ranks of China's Communist Party, Wu Yi, 66, battled her archvillain, the evil “Capitalist Menace” and became a member of The Super Great Chinese Superhero Society. Wu Yi has been busy this year helping China battle disgruntled textile manufacturers and ridding her country of freethinkers and their pestilent ways. In a bold June speech in Hong Kong, Wu Yi called for many to be shot and then flew over the city pointing out traitors.

.
Yulia Tymoshenko
Prime Minister – Ukraine
Superpower – Shoots Jets Of “Stun Ink” From Fingertips
 

This supervixen toppled a stagnant, corrupt regime. Her buzz-phrase, “Feel the Ukraine Pain!” is our fave. Able to punch out bad guys, drink vodka like no one else and shoot an immobilizing “Stun Ink” from her fingertips, she is using her superpowers to forcefully shake up Ukrainian oligarchs – her sworn enemies and the evil forces that murdered her father, a poor and ignorant cobbler. Her bold moves to re-privatize industrial assets and her “leaves nothing to the imagination” costume make her a winner!

4. Hilary Clinton
Morally Outraged Senator US
Superpower – Opportunistic Powers

Having finally rid her self of the draining “Horny Albatross Bill Creature” we think Super Hilary and her Opportunistic Superpowers will go far. And we love that Cat Costume of hers! As of yet this feline carpetbagger hasn’t done anything except complain about videogames, but like all opportunistic creatures, she’s ready to pounce at any second. Meow!

5.Margaret (Mega-Bomb) Whitman

Chief executive, eBay – U.S.
Superpower – Ability To Morph
 

As ruler of the world's biggest online auction site, this morphing marvel has successfully beaten back stiff competition from the evil Amazon.com and the sinister stooge Yahoo! And all by transforming into different types of zany computer viruses in order to destroy those who would compete against her. Dressed in her power suits but always ready to morph, she faithfully and diligently follows her goal for sole control of the world. Her catch phrase, “I’m not buying that, creep” is deliciously ironic. 

6. Oprah
Chief Executive Harpo – U.S.
Superpower – Mind Control


With a net worth of more than $1 billion, an Academy Award nomination, a hit television show, a successful magazine, a cable channel, and her ability to leap tall buildings, lose weight, fire producers on a whim, bring white-trash to the airwaves, and control the minds of the world’s citizens, there seems to be little else that Super Oprah can do – except find love. Love is her kryptonite.

7. Wonder Woman
Original Action Hero – U.S.
Superpower – Total Babe Who Can Do It All & Possible Lesbian!
 

With her great strength, power of flight, bullet-deflecting bracelets, wondrous breasts, and star-studded style like no other, the original "psychological propaganda for the modern type of woman who should rule the world" has a new movie and her own lines of jeans, perfume, and kinky toys. Beware, Fascists and Nazis, and rejoice, nerds everywhere – the babe of your wet dreams and her magic lasso are back!

8. Mamma
Figurehead and Cliché – Canada
Superpower – Uses Pizzas As Weapons
 

Having saved her family pizzeria from the “Evil Conglomerate Creatures,” Mamma is now getting even with all those who trifled with her. Her ability to use the pizza as a weapon is a novel approach and makes her unlike any other superwoman. Her lack of concern about body image and personal hygiene are a breath of fresh air – so to speak! 

9. Nicole Richie 
Actress? – U.S.
Superpower – The Incredible Shrinking Woman

“Able To Withstand Large Doses Of Drugs & Alcohol – It’s Super Nicole!”

Some might say that poor little Richie rich girl Nicole is the Robin to Paris’s Batman, the Kato to her Green Hornet, the Garfunkle to her Simon, but don’t be misled. This sassy and ever-shrinking party girl pulls the strings. The truth is that Paris is actually ventriloquist Nicole’s dummy and is made out of foam, latex, and a wooden head. But we all suspected as much, didn’t we? Nicole’s superpowers will increase once she fulfills her destiny to marry the evil overlord, Rupert Murdoch. But will she use her new powers for good? Tune in next week: Same Richie Time, Same Richie Channel.

10. The Ghost of Princess Di
Royal & Back From Dead – U.K.
Superpower – Impervious To Getting Shot

The most photographed ghost in heaven is coming back to earth and look out Paparazzi because it’s payback time. Dressed in her Versace supercostume, this royal wants vengeance. The evil press can shoot her all they like but this time they’ll get nothing because you can’t capture ghosts on film. Their futile cries of “Die, Princess Di!” only enrages this superspecter even more as she shoots back with her ectoplasm. Princess Di is back from heaven – and there’s gonna be hell to pay!
