random thought of the week - olympic edition

Ahh, the Olympics. the spectacle, the glory of the gold, the blatant attempts on the part of the presenters to avoid saying something that would piss off China. Because I don't care about China getting mad at me, I'm doing a special olympic edition of my blog.

Now, WTF is up with these parade uniforms?

This is not the PGA Tour from the 1950's, I swear.

Designed by Ralph Lauren, a designer who really wishes he were from England, these outfits aren't very... American. These scream "British". Well not scream, that wouldn't be proper, but they at least say it in a firm but polite tone. They look like something out of an Agatha Christie novel. The only thing you can do in one of these outfits that doesn't look weird is walk around going "Hurr Hurr Hurr".
