Suits

2005-12-08 18:05:59.413452+01 by Dan Lyke 1 comments

I have long contended that wearing a suit sends a message to the world that you're corrupt and evil. I had no idea that not only do many people agree with me, they seem to admire those traits:

There, standing in the dock of a Baghdad courtroom on charges of orchestrating mass murder, was Saddam Hussein wearing a pinstriped suit made by Mr. Cesur's Istanbul-based clothing company. Whenever the former Iraqi dictator reached inside his jacket for a pen, the "Cesur" label was flashed on TV screens across the world.

But rather than taking a nosedive, Cesur's sales have been booming since Mr. Hussein's court appearances began this fall.

Uhhhh... Yeah.

Well, you've got to admit, if your suits can make Saddam Hussein look good, you must be a damn fine tailor.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
