Why I detest clothes with words on...

Re: Why I detest clothes with words on...

Wow. There's quite a bit in there. Some sentiments I agree with, but I'm flummoxed as to why one would willing give up a means of communication.

I hate words on clothes in the literal sense for what it means, and I agree with the oft repeated Warhol quote, but I feel this whole article is some silly moralization.

Re: Why I detest clothes with words on...

Plus I know plenty of dull dressers that are, in fact, themselves very dull.  My experience doesn't bear out this idea that the most interesting and unique people don't exercise "visual signalling." 

I don't wear clothes with slogans and try to avoid visible logos.  I prefer not to be a blatant billboard for companies that aren't paying me to advertise.  But it's also just an aesthetic thing.  Logos and fonts on clothes are usually just ugly and distracting.   Nor do I feel the need to embellish my car with bumper stickers letting everyone know my political and religious affiliations or the bands I like or the fact that I love cats or hiking.

Re: Why I detest clothes with words on...

But to be fair, it seems a pretty even split.  Depends on where you're driving of course.   Either way, I DON'T CARE!!

Well, yeah. Of course.  That would be hidden by my trouser leg.

If I ever get my old truck painted, I do kind of want to put a Kennedy/Johnson bumper sticker on it, just to complete the look.

Re: Why I detest clothes with words on...

I must conclude from the article that the Amish are to a man (and woman) interesting people. Satmar Jews, are as well.

You know who I find tedious and uninteresting? Judgmental people. Moralizers. You know, the modern day barbarians.

Hahaha.  In hindsight, it seemed somehow futile.
