Gallery: Let’s All Criticize Stella McCartney’s New Olympic Uniforms

Stella McCartney unveiled her newly designed uniforms for the UK’s Olympic and Paralympic teams today, and to judge from some of the internet comments I’ve been reading, she made them out of clubbed baby seals dipped in radioactive shit. But while I think they are absolutely fine for something you wear while playing sports, it’s fun to take the piss out of things just for the heck of it. Can I be more ridiculous than the people who are sincerely angry at her? I don’t know, but I’m sure going to try. (I’m sorry, Stella.) More »

Hooters Is Not a Kid-Friendly Restaurant

verywhere I look lately, there seems to be a whole lot of hooters. First, NOW is suing Hooters (the restaurant) for catering to children.

Is Ralph Lauren Designing New Naval Uniforms?

A military blog called Stars and Stripes reports that the US Navy is in “preliminary talks” with Ralph Lauren about possibly designing new uniforms. Earlier this year, female sailors addressed problems with uniforms at a women’s symposium – mainly, they complained that uniforms didn’t fit well and were sometimes uncomfortable.
