If you ever want to get a glimpse of americana, spend some time at your local wal mart. Make a day out of it. Pack a lunch, bring a coke and enjoy the show. It never ceases to amaze me at how people will allow themselves to be seen in public. Nowhere else in the world would anyone allow themselves to be seen in such a state of dishevelment. It is almost like some kind of fashion worm hole opens up when you decide to go to wal mart and transports you to a world where good taste and fashion sense are out the window. I was touring my local store on a pleasant Sunday afternoon recently and I was shocked at what I saw. I saw a woman wearing a shirt that had printed in big bold letters "Be careful, you might get dirty". Where else in the world would you see this kind of couture. I have also be witness to a wide variety of shirts displaying distaste for car companies. Nothing says "I'm captain success" like a silk screened cartoon of a spiky haired young boy urinating on a Ford or Chevrolet emblem. I don't have enough dislike for anything to put it on a t shirt, let alone have someone pee on it. I often wonder who in the world makes those stupid t shirts. They tapped into an often overlooked demographic; the piss t shirt group. I don't specifically blame Wal mart for these shirts, but I blame them for providing an outlet for them to be worn. I'm off topic, back to wal mart. Wal mart is responsible for more innappropriate clothing decisions and bad taste than anyplace in the world. You never have to worry about you appearance at a Wal mart, because 9 out of 10 times, there is going to be someone who looks worse than you. So dress down, break out the mullets and puple eyeshadow and go buy some cheap chinese made crap for five bucks and enjoy the show. More to come.
