Call Them Peter Pan

Ok so I can tolerate a lot of things. It might not seem that way, but i can. I can live with kids and men across the country suddenly wearing Real Madrid jerseys and partying like puberty came early everytime "their" team wins a match. I can sort of appreciate women spending 45 minutes to get ready, even if it is just to go to the local store and buy a couple of vegetables. I can understand men wearing their jeans a little low showing their boxers to the whole world. I can even understand the medical reasoning behind air kissing people everytime you meet them.

But the one thing that always gets me is the fitted hat. The fitted hat has become a common sight out in the streets and in the malls. I guess that's one more thing I should be thankful to rappers for sexy-fying, other than wearing shades whilst indoors and doing heroin.

Now I might be completely wrong here but I always thought the whole purpose of a hat was to provide shade and protection from the sun. So doesn't having a completely flat visor beat that whole purpose and make you question the use and existence of the fitted hit in general? I sure think so. And turning the hat a little to the side so that the visor only now covers half your face- what is the logic behind that?

Throw in a sweatband along with a rubber wristband and you've got a real Grade-A douche. Pop-up those shirt collars too, while you're at it.

Following all these fashion trends is fine as long as you're a teen, living at home with your parents. But I do think its taking it a little too far if you're a 20-something 'man' who is STILL living at home with your parents. Perhaps its time to trade in the bermuda shorts and stark white tennis shoes for a pair of chinos and a neck tie.

In the words of Orlando McGuire, “In this day and age, the mass majority turn 18 and think they're a man or a woman and that's it. But that's just not true. You have to establish your manhood or your womanhood with actions.”

However, I'd like to think that majority usually just means that all the fools are on the same side.
