    That's how corporate sponsorships are handled at the Ministry of Truth.

    Why should this surprise me? Accenture threw this ass-clown overboard. Are the company's employees now expected to keep his image -- and those idiot ads proclaiming "Be a Tiger" -- plastered all over their cubicles?

    My denim jacket was just an ordinary denim jacket. I must have been a real loser back then.

    See, the thing is, we all knew this stuff was ludicrous even at the time. It's really not anymore funny now than it was then.

    This getup is what would happen if "Top Gun" was filmed immediately after the repeal of DADT.

    Also - the fake face fuzz is the gay male equivalent to lip gloss on a 4 year old beauty pageant contestant.

    Sad thing is, this is essentially the same look sported by my 7th grade art teacher (minus the facial hair). And I thought she was hot.

    "Funky" is what someone over 45 calls things that are done by people over 30 to imitate people under 20.

    That's it. I'm done (Jersey Shore!). Bedazzled boys with George Michael brand face stubble in a "Faith" jacket pose WITH upturned collar and Michael J. Fox hair from season two Family Ties...all in one advertisement. That's an almost illegal amount of cheesiness in one place. There really should be a covenant or a law against this kind of blasphemy. Like how cousins can't marry, making a right turn on red in NYC, or seeing shrimp heads before they lop them off on the boat because they resemble squashed baby features. And really HamNo, who wants to hear Matthew Wilder's, "Break My Stride" as background music accompanying that fugnacious outfit just because you thought it was a good idea to dig up the absolute worst representation of the 1980's one could possibly ever imagine short of a young Keanu Reeves in an After School Special about suicide.

    So, um, thanks for increasing the potential for ocular stroke from embolismic memory recall.

    @TriedandTrue: I kinda hated that store. My mother would drag me in there on the weekends when I was a kid. When you first walked in, the stench of fertilizer hits you instantly. I wasn't interested in any place where I couldn't buy toys or candy.
