TCFKAM, a dilemma

 

On the one hand, the first one really says it all. Target™ has bought its name onto everything - Target™ Field, Target™ Center, Target™ Holidazzle (go look at the site, the Target symbol appears next to the web address in the tool bar. Scary), etc. It is only a matter of time before the city becomes so cash strapped that it sells the naming rights to the highest bidder, which will naturally be Target™.

Then there is the perversion of the Prince symbol that has its own ironic beauty. What to do? Pure Target™? (Don't worry about the lawsuit, it's art.) Or Prince Target™?

Baggy Trousers

In Back to the Future Part 2,  when Marty McFly goes to the future (2015), Doc tells him to pull his pockets out of his jeans because all the kids in the future wear their jeans inside out. But not even Hollywood's most creative imaginations could foresee something this stupid and this persistent.

You know you hate them. You know they were tired ten years ago. But still, they insist on wearing their trousers with the waist below their ass, walking around like a cartoon character. But the very worst of it all, they think it somehow looks good. No, it looks idiotic. You cannot function in them. You cannot walk in them. You sure as hell can't run in them. So why the hell are you wearing them like that? Pull them up and stop shuffling along like a 2 year old who messed himself. It is just embarrassing to watch someone so carefully and diligently making adjustments to their jeans so they don't fall off in public; taking such care to look so stupid. It is even worse than adjusting the hat in the mirror to get it at just the right angle of crooked.

And I want something more than your underwear between your ass and the seat on the train that I may sit on next.

This problem has reached epidemic proportions. There is almost no place that does not need one of these signs. My fear is that even by 2015 this will still be a problem. You can wear them inside out, but for the love of the gods, pull them up.
