  • voodooKobra, on 11/06/2007, -215/+20There are three broken images as of this posting.
    Also, Maddox definitely knows "dick." Zing!
    • dwninjungleland, on 11/05/2007, -9/+35...I see what you did there. you said he was gay. HA!
      • voodooKobra, on 11/05/2007, -2/+3Omigosh! Someone actually recognized I'm not being serious?
        • thrikulam, on 10/30/2007, -0/+1Sure you were.

          "Earth to Brent, I was making a joke." {/zoolander}
    • Frei, on 11/05/2007, -4/+83You can't zing yourself.
      • EmoSLWarrior, on 11/02/2007, -2/+41You can if you practice autofellatio. Figuratively speaking that is.
      • voodooKobra, on 11/02/2007, -2/+1Once again, I'm NOT being serious.
        • kawahee, on 10/31/2007, -0/+0Neither were they, dumbass. How do you manage to breathe?

        • Kr1ngle0, on 11/02/2007, -6/+3If you insist!
          *Buries techresearcher*
        • Kanidia, on 11/05/2007, -0/+16I guess I can't aim because I missed and hit yours by accident.
      • G-RaZoR, on 10/30/2007, -2/+11Hello comment spammer, how are you today?
        • Kanidia, on 11/05/2007, -1/+5Hello comment spammer, how are you today?
      • ChileanGoD, on 10/30/2007, -3/+5Hi, i'm your cousin, comment hijacker, and I would like to say that this page would sound so great if it was read by LEWIS BLACK. :)
    • IareKEVLAR, on 10/31/2007, -1/+11Voodookobra very well may be the worst first poster of the week. Lets all give him a round of applause.
      • voodooKobra, on 10/30/2007, -1/+1Thank you; I try.
        • kawahee, on 10/31/2007, -0/+0Clearly you don't, since as soon as your heart beat enough oxygen into your brain you'd realise that nobody was being serious in reply to your initial comments.
    • PunkRockRalph, on 10/30/2007, -1/+1seriously. maddox would wreck you. probably without even having to go beyond your implementation of the word "zing" in your best efforts to insult someone else. find a puddle, and drown yourself in it.

      but first go and read maddox's definition of the word "bitch", bitch.
      • voodooKobra, on 11/04/2007, -2/+2Hey *****, I'm obviously not being serious and I obviously don't think Maddox is gay. For one, I offered to mirror his page and all the images so he doesn't have to deal with a bandwidth raping. Also, I link to the Best Page in the Universe from my website. Therefore, you fail at life for being incomprehensibly stupid!
        • chillybeans27, on 10/31/2007, -1/+2Ha, maddox getting raped. Impossible!
        • kawahee, on 10/31/2007, -0/+0I can't tell whether you were trying to be ironic by calling PunkRockRalph "incomprehensibly stupid", since you failed at life by making a *****-house joke then thinking everybody thought you were serious when they dugg you down. Newsflash: Your joke was *****, you got dugg down. I'm serious.
  • deanbrooks, on 11/10/2007, -14/+294A fashionably late update. Awesome.
    • DharmaTurtle, on 10/30/2007, -4/+7Sorry for comment jack, but its getting slow.

      • LeeSoong, on 11/05/2007, -0/+2Now can he come up with a page about ''Men's'' magazines,
        magazines that think every guy needs an $8,000 watch, cologne that smells like bug repellent, and clothes that make them look silly?
    • mwosh, on 11/02/2007, -12/+6Bitch:

      3. What you become when you fail at pool, bowling, Halo, english, math, Street Fighter Alpha, etc.
    • AriaStar, on 10/30/2007, -24/+16He may know "dick" about fashion in not knowing that the vagina-shirt is called a cowl neck, but he still has an opinion, and, well, he's right on just about all of this.

      But there is a semi-justification for the subtle lipstick differences. ON someone's lips, the natural lip tone combined with the different lipstick shades may make the difference more noticeable. However, there are times (lots of them) where it IS the EXACT same shade with a different name to make it sound new.

      And for all the struggle to be thin, I don't understand why a lot of women go for tent-dresses (as they are collectively called, for a reason). Now that I'm thin, I like form-fitting to show off my body instead of hiding it.
      • jtdgrz, on 10/30/2007, -27/+6fag
        • Ray301, on 11/02/2007, -1/+21hey genius, AriaStar is a SHE
        • GliTCH82, on 10/30/2007, -0/+2This thread reads like a funny CollegeHumor.com video. Until you get to my post, that is. Like I give a *****.
      • TomP, on 10/30/2007, -11/+2is it really sad i can see the difference http://maddox.xmission.com/revlon_fraud3.gif
        • bigbadgoat, on 10/30/2007, -1/+5unfortunately, your eyes are incapable of perceiving a difference.
          • moskaudancer, on 10/30/2007, -3/+2That's complete *****. You mean you can't tell that the one on the right is darker?

            I'm completely serious. Am I really only one of two people who read the article that *can* tell the difference? It's not that difficult...
          • rajun50, on 10/30/2007, -3/+0I see that the one on the right is darker. The one on the left seems to have an orange hue to it as well. Apparently the people who can't see the difference think everyone has crappy eyes just like they do.
          • GliTCH82, on 10/30/2007, -0/+2I think Maddox just did that for ***** and giggles. I'm sure everyone can see it.
        • Syphon8, on 10/30/2007, -0/+1No, the one on the right is darker.

          Most people's eyes are.
      • zeeky, on 10/30/2007, -0/+4A girl, on Digg? Who's actually thin? Is this even possible?
        • Light11, on 11/03/2007, -0/+5it must be a trap
        • GliTCH82, on 10/30/2007, -2/+1Damn will you guys ever let the stereotype die out? Or do you have to keep reminding everyone on here how much of a sausage fest Digg is?
    • bluezinc, on 10/31/2007, -1/+16I'm ashamed to have bought a sweatshirt at Hollister once. I was young and needed the warmth!
      • Steelfox, on 10/30/2007, -18/+3You shouldn't be. I don't see the whole deal with these so-called 'preppy' labels. Sure they're expensive, but you get nice clothing in return. Oh and girls love that stuff.
        • nitramlliw, on 11/01/2007, -0/+12you're the reason that store still exists dammit!
        • daEvan, on 11/01/2007, -1/+9Or you could just pay about $10 for the same exact clothes minus the "HOLLISTER" and fake holes in the jeans at any Target or Walmart.
          • Jebral, on 10/30/2007, -0/+1...and get rid of even more jobs (:
          • GliTCH82, on 10/30/2007, -2/+1I actually do believe you're paying for quality material/printing vs. shirts that fade out and tear easier and don't feel as comfortable. I really don't think I'm perceiving this, either.

            I also know for a fact that the shirts I buy at Buckle fit nicer, too. I'm sure I can find shirts at Wal-Mart that fit great and look great but the selection is more limited out of those I would consider quality.
        • moskaudancer, on 10/30/2007, -0/+5I bet your nickname in real life is "The Chadster" and you play field hockey in Connecticut. Am I right?
        • cvole, on 11/13/2007, -0/+0I am a girl. Wasting money on expensive clothes that aren't even designer is not attractive.
          And Axe smells like a ***** garden salad. It's sick.
    • sjl127, on 11/03/2007, -3/+20Hey Maddox! It's about time you're off of you LAZY ***** ASS after writing that AWESOME BOOK! Now go ***** yourself.
      • chillybeans27, on 10/30/2007, -2/+1It's about time you got off your BROKE ***** ASS and started paying him for his articles.

    • Canadian0207, on 10/30/2007, -1/+13about damn time someone said something about those crocs. wtf is that ***** anyway?
  • doctorfungi, on 11/08/2007, -36/+39Been waiting for a new Maddox post for a while :)
    • Bamont, on 11/05/2007, -0/+10Look at what he wrote:
      " Update (10-29-07): Some pages may be loading slow today, site is experiencing Digg rape."

  • Fatcheeseguy, on 11/12/2007, -15/+397Dugg for VagEYEna Man and a proper dictionary definition of what a bitch really is.
    • Evermin7, on 11/05/2007, -1/+23 A miserable person who sucks all joy and happiness out of life, and makes life a little less worth living by her consistently ***** attitude. When not complaining, her drama and gossip will fill the void. He or she (but usually she) refuses to do something with a group, and will forego hanging out with said group unless they're doing something she wants to do. She will put her interest ahead of others every single time, just for the sake of being a bitch. A bitch hates fun.

      ---Why do I keep running into women who are like this?
      • iChainsaw, on 10/30/2007, -2/+3[insert you are a digg user you get no sex comment because you mentioned women]. Sorry, i had to do it...before some other bitch did it.
      • Jomwilli, on 10/30/2007, -0/+1You need to leave NYC, NJ or Cleveland as fast a possible.
    • ronaldinho, on 10/30/2007, -1/+3Right on spot for the definition of bitch. Glad I have only one of those (I'm very tolerant and patient, so if you are able to grate on me, you sure worked hard), and I don't hang out with her if I don't have to

    (VagEYEnaman - the imagination :D )
  • Huevohead, on 11/05/2007, -10/+109Great to see Maddox return to form. Haven't laughed this hard at one of his posts since back in the "The most expensive $94 Orbitz will ever make." days. Hell, i still try to avoid using Orbitz.
    • thetinguy, on 10/30/2007, -0/+3Lol, since I read that, I have not used Orbitz once.
    • bobartig, on 10/30/2007, -0/+9Here's how I use Orbitz now:
      1) Put my trip info Orbitz.
      2) Find the flight info I like
      3) Go to the carrier's website, and buy the same flight (save x dollars).
      I haven't run into a case yet where the Orbitz price was actually better than the carriers, but I do hear that it happens. Their trip planner is pretty good, however.

      Fashion tips for women from a guy
      who knows dick about fashion.

      Before I begin, I should warn you that I know dick about fashion. It's not just a clever title to get your attention, though it's admittedly clever (I'm honest enough to admit when something is brilliant, even when it's my own writing).

      You shouldn't read this article if you're a woman with low self-esteem. I don't need my inbox filled with emails from teary-eyed women reaffirming how astute my observations are by shrieking at me for ruining their lives.

      Women get away with murder in our society, especially when it comes to the visual pollution they call fashion. So I'm going to do what few people—few men—have ever done by criticizing you. Sure, you may be thinking "but Maddox, people criticize women's fashion all the time!" Yes, but not men, and definitely not badasses like me.... Until now.

      Crocs look like ***** and they make your feet smell.

      Crocs: they look like ***** and they make your feet smell

      When I see people wearing Crocs, I know immediately that we have nothing in common, and that we could never be friends or have any meaningful kind of relationship. They come in every color imaginable yet look bad with every other article of clothing ever created. The only thing that goes with Crocs is social ostracism.

      To their credit though, Crocs serve as an excellent idiot barometer; you can tell a lot about people wearing them. For example, Amazon.com suggest products that other customers have purchased based on the item you're shopping for. Here are the suggestions for Crocs:

      When it comes to shoes, there are usually three deciding factors: quality, price, and style. Some shoes are cheap and stylish, but poor quality, while others are stylish and durable, but expensive. Crocs usually go for $30-$60, which doesn't sound like much for a shoe, until you consider that what you're really paying for are melted pellets squirted into a cast-iron mold in some province in China. Crocs have the rare combination of being expensive, poor quality, and ugly. It's quite a feat for one shoe to suck this bad.

      People who wear Crocs go on and on about how comfortable they are, and how it's supposedly odor resistant because it's made out of some kind of anti-bacterial foam. Great point, *****! You know what else it's resistant to? You getting laid. Then as if the shoes weren't disgusting enough, Crocs introduced a product called "Crocs butter" that's supposed to restore that illustrious injection-molded sheen to those gaping holes they call shoes:

      You know that feeling you get when you're full and slightly nauseous and you burp and you can taste the partly digested food in the back of your throat? There isn't a word in the english language to succinctly describe it, but I will hereby refer to it as: croc-butter.

      Red lipstick makes you look like a clown:


      There are very few people who look good in red lipstick, and those people usually juggle for a living. I once met a girl who was able to pull it off, so I let her buy me dinner. Later that night she was making out with my wang, when I realized that all that lipstick was rubbing off. So I evacuated my moan-maker from her face hole, took some silverware for my trouble, and snuck out of her tent.

      Red lipstick looks horrible on most women, and all men. The bright crimson hue is an unnatural abomination pushed upon your face by cynical cosmetic industry scientists. I'm sure somewhere in a laboratory, two scientists are high-fiving each other, laughing at all the ***** new names for shades of red they invent. There have been literally thousands of names for the same color of lipstick over the years, yet there are only about 3 shades of red: red, dark red, light red. Period. And I mean that grammatically, and not menstrually, though the context makes sense now that I think about it. They just make up names as they go along, and you idiots keep buying the same three shades of red over and over again:

      Here are some actual names for shades of red lipstick: berry juicy, candied apple, midnight red, love that red, volcanic red, red velvet, red reinvented, cherry desirable, opulent garnet, royal red, etc, etc. You know they're just making ***** up when they start using abstract concepts like "love" and "desirable" in the name. Most of the shades are indiscernible from each other, but women insist that there's a difference. So I went to Revlon's website and took two of these colors for a comparison:


      Yes, these are actual Revlon lipstick colors. I'm not making this up.

      Insecure women with boring faces lap this ***** up because they think "hmmm.. what does my face need? Oh, I know! A giant hokey shade of red that isn't even found in nature."

      You are not a Cuban dictator.

      Fidel Castro hats were made to be worn by Fidel Castro. Not hipster losers trying to look ironic. Unless you have a beard and you led a coup in 1959 to establish a Marxist socialist state in Cuba, take it the ***** off. It wouldn't even be so bad if you were Cuban, but you're not. You live in a midwestern suburb and you shop at Hollister. Oh yeah, that reminds me of this store I hate called Hollister. It's the greatest cultural fraud perpetrated upon mankind, and it looks like this:


      Did you think your Hollister store was unique?

      "But Maddox, how did you get a picture of that distinctive looking store from my mall?" Surprised? That's because every Hollister store is exactly the same:


      Hollister: uniquely mass produced.

      The store is made to look unique when it's not, so what you think you're seeing is a clothing store, but what you're actually seeing is a lie.

      Every store has the same fake facade with the same fake plants out front, with the same fake terracotta roof, and every store plays the same pop/punk/emo soundtrack. Everything in this store is engineered to create a fake image, right down to the way the store smells. Think that musky cologne you smell when you walk by the store is an accident? Some marketing dickwad was paid top dollar to make you have an involuntary brand association every time you smell that scent. All so they can sell you a hat popularized by a Cuban dictator for the low low price of $20. Choke it down, *****!

      Self-aggrandizing "hottie" shirts make you look like a bitch:

      There are two types of girls who buy these shirts: 13-year-olds junior-high brats, and 29-year-old chicks who are too tan and wear way too much lip gloss, and try desperately to look like they're younger than 29. The real problem here is that women who wear these shirts start to believe their own ***** after a while. The shirt at the top emblazoned with the phrase "you say I'm a bitch like it's a bad thing" epitomises this attitude. Guess what? It is a bad thing. Here is my unabridged definition of bitch:

      Noun: Bitch (bich):

      1. A miserable person who sucks all joy and happiness out of life, and makes life a little less worth living by her consistently ***** attitude. When not complaining, her drama and gossip will fill the void. He or she (but usually she) refuses to do something with a group, and will forego hanging out with said group unless they're doing something she wants to do. She will put her interest ahead of others every single time, just for the sake of being a bitch. A bitch hates fun.

      "Hey guys, sorry we can't check out that cool new Brazilian restaurant, Janet is being a bitch."

      2. A status you assume when you take one in the pooper while incarcerated.

      3. What you become when you fail at pool, bowling, Halo, english, math, Street Fighter Alpha, etc.

      4. Having a thankless job where you work lots of overtime without pay while your boss is on vacation.

      5. Having to sit in the middle seat between two people in a car or plane.

      6. Being last in line to get cake or ice cream at a party.

      7. Crying and throwing a tantrum about something nobody gives a ***** about, including you.

      "I'm not going to give you $6 for my share of an $11 pizza when all I owe you is $5.50. I shouldn't have to pay extra, waaaaaah!"

      8. Having a high opinion of your looks and a sense of entitlement when people compliment you. Your ego is usually punctuated with a "hottie" shirt, which makes you slightly less tolerable to be around than children, and slightly more tolerable to be around than a saucer of goat cum.

      Nothing screams "bitch" like wearing a shirt that says "too hot to care." Frankly, there's only one person in the world who's hot enough to wear a shirt like that, and her name is Maddilox:

      Hello, my head is coming out of a giant vagina.

      Yes, everyone thinks it looks like you have a giant vagina around your neck. It sounds hotter on paper than it actually is. I'm sure a man invented this style, because it's damn near impossible to think of a combination of heads and vaginas that isn't rad, but this shirt is proof that even an idea as inherently cool as giant vaginas and heads coming out of them can be made lame.

      I came up with a design similar to this shirt when I was in first grade. My friend and I were drawing new Mega Man characters, and I drew a giant vagina, except in the middle was a giant eye so it kind of looked like a cyclops with a meaty head, and I called him VagEYEna Man. I sent it to Capcom, but I'm still waiting to hear back from them:

      This makes you look pregnant:

      I don't know what this style is called since every retailer comes up with their own "clever" name for it, so I'm just going to call them tit curtains because they look like curtains draped over your *****. You might as well be wearing a burka. It's one giant formless piece of cloth draped around your waist. There's a reason pregnant women wear clothes like this, and it's because it usually looks good on them in lieu of a beekeeper outfit. You're not pregnant, so cut that ***** out.

      What boggles my mind about tit curtains is that it's becoming trendy, right up there with Fidel Castro hats. I don't get it. If I had boobs, the last thing I'd want to do with them is cover them up with curtains, though I'd probably eventually cover them with curtains when I'd exhausted everything else (oil, soap, other boobs, my hands, the lid of a photocopy machine, the mouths of other lesbians, etc). Quit disrespecting your chest hams.

      37,417 women just got their faces packed with practical fashion advice.

      • munkyxtc, on 10/31/2007, -0/+1Ah, c'mon, it was a line right out of his rant....
    • cyrix, on 10/30/2007, -1/+13In most cases I 100% agree with you. But I recently went to the hospital for stitches to get my knuckle put back on. They were all wearing crocs. The woman stitching me up told me that they were the only shoes that she could were that didn't kill her feet.

      So I guess they have some use.
    • random19, on 10/30/2007, -2/+6I'm much rather have the Crocs than those damned Uggs. Those things are absolutely hideous.
    • estat, on 10/30/2007, -0/+7They're definitely a fad, but I have to mention one thing about Crocs... Ultimate boating shoe.
    • timjim31, on 10/31/2007, -0/+5I didn't even know what crocs were until this article. call me naive...
  • RadiantBeing, on 11/11/2007, -10/+380Holy *****, Maddox put a Digg button on his site.

      • thetinguy, on 10/30/2007, -12/+2Well-known fact? I mean he does work in some ***** ass job and drives a ***** ass car. And like an idiot doesn't make any extra cash on his website.
        • BobTheChainsaw, on 10/30/2007, -0/+16Dugg down because you're wrong. He makes ***** offa his book, and the store on his website. And doesn't have a job anymore because he gets that much from his store.
    • rolty125, on 11/14/2007, -5/+23Your an idiot. The digg button is only there when you go to it through digg, otherwise it is isn't. So no "holy *****" it isn't on his on site

    • ventralnet, on 11/06/2007, -0/+108yea, I have been saying that for a while. My girlfriend just says im an idiot
    • RedNeckerson, on 11/06/2007, -3/+180I had to print that section for my wife.
      She wears those "tit curtains" and then gets all offended when old ladies compliment her on being pregnant.....and then gets pissed at me for asking why she gets pissed off about it when SHE'S the one wearing maternity clothes.

      Don't get me started on those nasty crocs...........
      • RobotBuddha, on 11/05/2007, -1/+42That seems to be one of the biggest gender based blind spots. For some reason, the average woman seems totally unable to admit to herself that she finds some article of clothing attractive only because her friends, or paid models, are wearing it. There's this weird insistence that the subjective appreciation is in fact objective, measurable, reality that others haven't figured out the math for yet.
      • Ajenthavoc, on 11/06/2007, -1/+19I had a customer come in once wearing tit curtains. I talked to her for a good hour, all the time trying to verify whether or not she was pregnant by looking at her at various angles. Eventually, I was convinced enough that she was pregnant that I asked when she was due.

        She gave me this "wtf?" look then pretty much laughed at me. Made me feel like ***** the rest of the day. After reading this though, I'm gonna send Maddox her address so he could go and give her the ovarian elbowing she's so desperately deserves.
        • psyjoniz, on 11/06/2007, -0/+26never make light of a woman being pregnant unless you know for a fact she is pregnant, are the one who got her pregnant or actually see a baby emerging from her vagina at that very moment. otherwise, this is the likely outcome.
        • the14thjoey, on 10/31/2007, -0/+10When my friend, Esteban, bumped into another old friend of ours, Patty, he noticed she had gotten fat (from her previously plus body). He later told me that it looked like she might have gotten pregnant.

          I decided to send her an IM to reconnect a little bit and like an *****, I asked her about her pregnancy, "Esteban says you're pregnant, when are you due?" Of course she wasn't pregnant, just fat. I was behind the protection of my computer screen at the moment, but I pretty much threw Esteban under the bus. Oops.
    • kevyn, on 10/31/2007, -34/+12I have to disagree... I think those dresses can look cute on some people, as can the cuban hats
      • JeffD, on 10/30/2007, -5/+35If by some people you mean pregnant chicks, then I agree.
      • Klak, on 10/30/2007, -5/+2there are seriously like 6 non-pregnant women in the world who look good in this stuff and they are all anorexic
        • llamaguy132, on 10/30/2007, -2/+7thats the problem, skinny girls don't look good in it, fat girls look funny in it, and tit curtains don't look right on average sized women, its all around an ugly tit curtain.
      • positron, on 10/30/2007, -0/+9Pregnant Cuban girls?
      • psyjoniz, on 11/01/2007, -2/+1i am assuming by 'some people' you mean your tranny boyfriend?
    • duerra, on 10/30/2007, -4/+15Yep, I'm there 100%. I call them a woman's "fat clothes". If you want to completely destroy a woman's self esteem for the rest of her life, the next time you see a woman wearing a shirt like that, just walk up to her and ask her "So, how are your fat clothes working out for you today?"

      You may want to step out of the way right after that, 'cuz you'll likely have a projectile flying at your head. But it'll get her attention, and she likely won't wear it again anytime soon.
    • ronaldinho, on 11/06/2007, -3/+14The reason why girls wear them must be because they want to cover their michelin tummies
    • SlipstreamLucas, on 10/30/2007, -1/+2now i finally have a word for what i can tell her never to wear again. Tit-curtains, perfect.
    • bobartig, on 10/30/2007, -3/+3frankly, I don't care how other people dress, much in the same way I don't give a ***** how I look in the morning. But those (ok, I'll use his term) tit curtains are amazing in that you can put them on really attractive women, and it makes them look frumpy. wtf
    • fosticpopcorn, on 11/05/2007, -2/+5I'm a chick, and those shirts turn _me_ off.
      • frostieDude, on 11/06/2007, -1/+4Parading around the basement wearing your mom's bra and panties while she's at work doesn't make you a chick.

    • offwithyourtv, on 10/31/2007, -0/+11I, too, am a woman, and it seems Maddox knows considerably more about fashion than most women do. So if Maddox knows "dick" about fashion, the poster must be referring to quite an impressive dick. He's absolutely right about every point he makes in this one.

      I really hate those pregnant shirts. It's getting harder and harder to buy clothes in my department. Now half my wardrobe comes from the internet because the mall is just ridiculous.

  • inertic, on 10/31/2007, -75/+5Not surprised at all. Why does he care about what women who are into fashion wear. It's not like Maddox or half of you diggers are going to be able to take one home.
    • pasatiempos, on 10/31/2007, -1/+12Calling us diggers when you're also posting on the site would get you and immediate entry on Maddox's site. =P (see I'm sticking my tongue out at you)
    • llamaguy132, on 10/30/2007, -1/+12Bitter much?
    • Ouchimoo, on 10/31/2007, -0/+7Thats right. Half the diggers wouldn't WANT some air-brained woman with no personality other than bitch who wears crap like that.
    • rarrrgh, on 08/22/2008, -0/+0Maddox has wife or girlfriend or something already, he's way too cool not to. I'm a girl and I also think he's kickass.
  • ladyarcher85, on 10/30/2007, -17/+9A great fashion tip I want to share to most women is, ladies stop buying clothes that are two sizes too small for you. You are not fooling anyone, seriously.
  • swordedge, on 10/30/2007, -14/+6I like his fashion tips.
  • bobbydiamondz, on 10/30/2007, -17/+2Hmmm. My little iGoogle Digg widget blocks the word '*****' out of headlines, even when it's in the middle of a word. However, 'dick' on it's own is fine. Maybe George Carlin will update his routine to seven words you can't say on a Digg headline.

  • rspeed, on 11/05/2007, -3/+159I love the list of things Croc buyers also bought. All crap and a mysterious appearance of a Vivaldi's Four Seasons.
    • CraftyPirate, on 10/31/2007, -3/+29That threw me off too. He has name dropped a few classical pieces before and it's well known he listens to NPR. I wonder what he has against Vivaldi.
      • karel747, on 10/30/2007, -0/+11I don't think he has anything against Vivaldi. He didn't really address the anomaly.
        • prufrocksmuse, on 10/31/2007, -0/+9I love Vivaldi, too, but I'm guessing his inclusion of The Four Seasons on that list is that it's often the only piece of classical music a lot of people are aware of, so they buy the album just so they can say they listen to classical music and be trendy and hip that way.
          • MicrosoftBob, on 11/06/2007, -0/+7Yeah, because nothing says "trendy and hip" like classical music. ;-)

            Seriously, though, I would think Bach and Beethoven are probably the closest to being "mainstream".
        • maliath, on 10/31/2007, -0/+5You hit the nail on the head prufrocksmuse ... it's always either that or mozart.
    • karel747, on 10/30/2007, -0/+4I know - it's mind boggling. I'd love to know the thought process which runs through these people's minds.

    • MagicCake, on 10/30/2007, -0/+7That's the thing, they're for pregnant ladies, so they do serve a purpose. It gets retarded when girls who aren't pregnant start wearing them because they don't get what they're for.
    • tycity, on 10/30/2007, -0/+1I'm pretty much 100% certain the first time I saw it was on Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah-Jessica Parker) on Sex in the City. But don't quote me.

        Bet you didn't see that ***** coming.
      • Tanishh, on 10/30/2007, -0/+1I'll have to respectfully disagree here. I've seen one person in recent memory wearing crocs.

        A good 10-15%+ of the girls at my school (freshmen mostly) wear uggs. Every time I see a girl wearing those I subtract a few points of respect as a habit; they stopped looking slightly decent when every other girl had them. Now that I look at them again, good lord they're even uglier up close.
    • ddgromit, on 10/30/2007, -0/+15too easy
    • llamaguy132, on 10/30/2007, -2/+21but at least Ugg's look comfy, like bath robes, but that doesnt mean they should be warn outside the house
    • LRG1, on 10/30/2007, -0/+8Maddox already has....
    • fridaporvida, on 10/30/2007, -1/+6what's worse is when girls here in california insist on wearing ugg boots with mini skirts...in the summer.
      • Gizza, on 10/30/2007, -0/+1I find it odd that Uggs were invented in Australia. It just about never gets below 15-20C here.
      • hiimsneeze, on 10/30/2007, -0/+1HOT. I fully dont mind that. Their being uncomfortable for us so ***** it;)

    • aguynamedjoe36, on 10/30/2007, -0/+2okay... uggs.... here's how i see it. they were fashionable about 3 years ago and every starry eyed girl went out and bought the $200 boots, then they went out of style quickly and now they need an excuse to justify dropping that much money on what they already knew was ugly. i really enjoy wearing pajama pants but that doesn't make it acceptable to wear them with a shirt and tie does it? the answer is no.
      Plus ugg boots smell reeeeeaaalllly bad because some of the females i know insist on wearing them barefoot....
      Bottomline: they may be comfortable but there is still no excuse to look like an eskimo whore. if you are going to look like a whore, your shoes might as well match.
    • jkow, on 10/29/2007, -1/+0OMG, that is such a good idea, you should send him an email!!!!11!@11!1!@!!

  • omgTHEPATRIOTS, on 11/05/2007, -2/+133Hollister is the biggest cultural fraud in America, thanks for pointing this out Maddox
    • ScottyMcBaggs, on 10/30/2007, -6/+14That store is like a ***** nightclub... everything is crammed together, ***** trance music playing, and it's really *really* ***** hot in there. Not to mention, the clothes are bland, unimaginative, and expensive. Also, the absence or hidden store sign is ***** annoying when your girlfriend forces you to walk the mall for hours trying to find it...
      • omgTHEPATRIOTS, on 10/30/2007, -2/+5Abercrombie is getting up there too (A&F owns Hollister and Ruehl), but the problem with stores like these is that whatever creative vision that Abercrombie might have had in the late 90s of a sort of sexy Ivy League prep store turned into an orgy of *****. They completely sold out to the consumer, which is why they don't have the sexy mags anymore, yet in their advertising try to shove sex as far down our throats as possible without any real context. Clothes are supposed to be sexy but A&F's vision is completely driven by greed, which explains why they use American slave labor to make their clothes yet jack the prices up to the moon all in order to send the stock prices up.

        I'll remember to never make my clothing company publicly tradable if it gets big. I grew up loving them but now I'm pretty repulsed.
        • ScottyMcBaggs, on 10/30/2007, -1/+3I've always viewed A&F in that way. Partially because the people who wear their stuff, but mostly because of their outrageous prices for marginal quality clothes. I think Hollister is just bringing their philosophy to the next generation.
        • omgTHEPATRIOTS, on 10/30/2007, -1/+4Hollister relies completely on image sales driving rather than anything to do with a physical product. Their ***** is insanely cheap, made by sweatshop labor on American soil (Northern Marianas) and doesn't last more than a few months. it's all about this abstract SoCal surfer prep image, and absolutely no substance at any tangible level, which is why I hold them in even lower regard than the other A&F companies.
      • republicker, on 10/31/2007, -1/+9A better reason to hate them is because everyone who shops there are pretentious 15 year olds driving daddies beamer. WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD WHERE PEOPLE BUY JEANS THAT COST 30 BUCKS AND NOT 500.
        • omgTHEPATRIOTS, on 10/31/2007, -1/+10See, I have no problem paying an exorbitant amount of money on jeans (say $200) if what I know I'm getting is a product that will last me years, make my ass look good (i'm a guy) and make girls want to grab it all night.

          What I get pissed at is the fact that these pretentious 15 year olds, clearly without their own money or appreciation for the product, wear it and ruin it because they end up whoring it out. This goes not only for clothing but every trend in this country; how bad has music gotten in the past decade because it's written for these immature brats.
        • juicebag, on 10/30/2007, -6/+1@omgTHEPATRIOTS
          It's just plain stupid to spend $200 on a pair of jeans. Also, I hate when people bitch about how they hate recent music. How about you try listening to something that isn't on MTV or the radio?
        • omgTHEPATRIOTS, on 10/30/2007, -0/+5@juicebag

          well, i do listen to what i want to, but sometimes you don't have a choice what you're listening to when you go to certain bars, malls, stores and what I hear just from turning on the TV (and not MTV, mind you, because they've lost it completely) and hearing songs in ads, during sports games, and so forth. the mainstream music machine is almost impossible to avoid completely, so what I'm saying is, when I am forced to deal with it, I hate it with a passion.


          as far as taste in styles of jeans i'll just leave it at that, tastes. there's definitely good pairs out there on the cheap.
        • sat0shi, on 10/30/2007, -6/+1I only wear Diesel jeans (around $200-$300) because they are the highest quality jeans I've ever found.
          I have money now, so I can afford them, but I used to wear $20 jeans when I was in college and now when I compare the difference with one of those $20 pairs (which are riddled with holes now) the difference is like night and day. The Diesel jeans are extremely sturdy yet comfortable, whereas the $20 jeans feel like thin paper in comparison.

          If you think those high priced clothes are just exorbitantly priced for the image alone, you're wrong. Of course part of it is for the status, but a lot of it is in the quality of the material and design. Of course, I suppose Diggers who live in their mom's basement and work at a McJob if at all have higher priorities than worrying about if their jeans have holes in them or not.
          • MicrosoftBob, on 10/30/2007, -0/+6Man, you just came off sounding like an arrogant prick. Any other condescending advice you care to give to the unwashed masses here on digg?
          • daEvan, on 10/31/2007, -1/+2Dude, seriously. If you're about to throw $200 at a pair of pants, I feel sorry for you. Nobody cares about how your pants look. I live in Texas where absolutely everybody wears jeans and nobody could give two craps about how yours look. I've worn jeans all my life, and I think I just may very well qualify as an expert on the subject. That said, I'd like to point out that the only differences in any jeans are the shade of blue. Some are dark some are light. Thats it. Those are the only two kinds of jeans, they are always comfortable, and they cost no more than $20.
          • republicker, on 11/02/2007, -0/+1I will assure you that a pair of Wranglers or Dickies will outlast any pair of jeans on the market. Your just a sucker who got took for hundreds of dollars. Some metrosexual french guy is rolling in a bed full of money by selling you a NAMEBRAND.
        • kutateli, on 10/30/2007, -0/+3Agreed. But just FYI Hollister jeans ARE around 30~50 bucks.

          500... thats more of Lacoste and similar brands.
        • omgTHEPATRIOTS, on 10/30/2007, -0/+2@kutateli: i think in that price range (~$500) you're looking at john richmonds and evisu. $150-300 is the Seven for all Mankind and Citizens of Humanity, which are, all things considered, impeccable pairs of jeans. not sure about the higher higher end though.
        • psykiv, on 10/31/2007, -0/+4To be honest, my $14 Costco brand jeans are pretty damn comfortable and have outlasted all my other jeans that have cost me five times as much. I do prefer slacks though. The $180 pair of slacks I got at Nordstrom are *A LOT* more comfortable than the $30 pair I got at Marshalls. The quality difference is more than night and day.
    • Wraithius, on 10/30/2007, -1/+6It's not really any more of a fraud than any other store at any mall in the country (which is to say, still a huge steaming lump of market-researched, carefully-planned "uniqueness"), but it's certainly a serviceable example/target for his derision.
      • omgTHEPATRIOTS, on 10/29/2007, -1/+1'Planned uniqueness' is merchandising in any language. In some abstract, yes it is unique because it's their company's production, and is thus unique, but it's not unique when it dominates fashion for an entire demographic.
    • diggzoid, on 10/30/2007, -3/+4Uhmm, what about all the hotties crawling around?
      • psyjoniz, on 10/30/2007, -0/+11dime a dozen. keep em.
      • actionmann50, on 10/30/2007, -0/+4Do they not crawl around in places outside of Hollister?
    • zspade, on 10/30/2007, -1/+9Hot topic is worse, but they're both very ironic.
    • dillibob, on 10/30/2007, -0/+3that and abercrombie
    • gryphonauto, on 10/30/2007, -0/+1I thought all clothing stores were frauds, but regardless I can't stand Hollister. It's like emo-heaven.
    • rarrrgh, on 08/22/2008, -0/+0Yeah I'm a sixteen year old girl and I would say that I'm fashionable but I still refuse to shop at those stores because of the atmosphere and the mass of girls walking around in the same shirt just because it says hollister on it.
  • Subterfug, on 10/30/2007, -35/+6This guy used to be funny. And that's all I have to say about that.
  • KUKBAHLAM, on 11/03/2007, -43/+5The author has made a critical error: Women dress for other women, NOT for men. If women dressed for men they would wear bikinis when single/available and burkas when married/taken.
    Please also note that a lot of money is being paid to badmouth Crocs. They are comfortable. I assume that they have had a huge impact on the shoe industry as everyone is attacking them. Why pay $80 for a Birkenstock knock off? Because they are $15.
    Instead of funding a massive viral marketing campaign against them, consider making a shoe that doesn't squeeze my feet for the life of the shoe. It's been a fact of life, that as soon as my shoes are comfortable, the glue gives out and I have to buy another pair. Crocs don't. They are also free of leather and are not made in a 3rd world country. Cheap comfortable footwear is not a crime.
    If your business model is obsolete, change it or suffer the same fate as the music industry.
    • navster15, on 10/30/2007, -0/+22You forgot to address the fact that Crocs are ugly as sin.
      • KUKBAHLAM, on 10/30/2007, -10/+2Yeah, Birkenstocks are often ugly, but I would rather have comfort than the knowledge that other people like the way they look.
      • Lythium, on 10/30/2007, -1/+6Dude, you just totally missed the whole point of the article. Aesthetically speaking, Crocs are 100% irredeemable. If you find them to be confortable, be my guest and wear them; just realize that they're ugly. That's not "funding a massive viral marketing campaign against them"; that's just the truth =P
    • insllvn, on 10/30/2007, -0/+3Where did that come from?
    • mattrazzo, on 10/30/2007, -1/+18"They are also free of leather"... so what? Leather is a renewable resource. Plastic is not. Go burn some more oil in your Escalade ya doofus.
      • KUKBAHLAM, on 10/30/2007, -9/+3There has been a growing number of folks who don't wear leather. I am one of those and have been limited in shopping for footwear at payless and wal-mart. This does not mean I expect everyone to conform to my position, just that I am glad to have a choice.
        • thetinguy, on 10/30/2007, -1/+2So the number of morons in the world is growing too?
        • MorbenDK, on 10/30/2007, -0/+8Cloth shoes have been around for ages...
        • hiimsneeze, on 10/30/2007, -1/+2gay. why are there so many ***** old people on digg? go play with your great grandkids ya mook, or change your career position so you dont have to waste our time with how money efficient and comfortable the ***** clothes from 'spendless' are.
    • voetsjoeba, on 10/30/2007, -0/+17You are one of the people Maddox wrote this article for. I suggest you read it carefully.
    • JeffD, on 10/31/2007, -3/+1Buy some skate shoes. Those things are damned comfortable and they dont make you look like a deutche.
      • Lythium, on 10/29/2007, -0/+0Depends on who's wearing them.... Best to say they don't _automatically_ make you look - and so on ;)
      • republicker, on 10/30/2007, -0/+6Im pretty sure skate shoes make anyone besides a skater or a 15 yrold punk look like an idiot. and Deutche is a filter company I think
    • MaynardJK, on 10/30/2007, -0/+5"Please also note that a lot of money is being paid to badmouth Crocs."

      So how much are they paying you to fellate them on the web? Shut the ***** up.
      • hiimsneeze, on 10/30/2007, -0/+1yeah its probably some dumb intern from the company sent out on damage control on the web. weak
    • pasatiempos, on 10/30/2007, -2/+1I actually wanted to buy a pair of Crocs just for the comfort factor--yes they ARE as ugly as a shoe can get-- but "looking cool" is not something I strive to achieve. Then I saw the price. I can't remember exactly how much, but I do know it was enough for me to make the desition not to buy them. EXPENSIVE. Now if I want comfort I just stick with my $9 sandals.
    • eatbeefjerky, on 10/31/2007, -1/+8I'm one of the least fashion conscious people around (I'm female and my day-to-day getup consists of jeans and a tshirt... and not one of the fitted variety, either), and I STILL refuse to wear Crocs on the principle that I wish to retain my dignity. Sure they're comfy... but my skate shoes are also comfy and don't make me look like a douchebag.

      The only times it is admissible to wear Crocs are if you're under the age of 10, over the age of 60 (and female) or are kneeling in a garden with a trowel and fork. Otherwise, you may be subject to ridicule and contempt.
      • republicker, on 10/30/2007, -3/+2Wait until your back is more important than you outfit.
      • thetinguy, on 10/30/2007, -3/+3Did you step on skateboard and break it? There is only one type of woman under 30 that doesn't wear fitted shirts...
    • EricAnderton, on 10/30/2007, -0/+1This is why I wear leather work and hiking boots. The materials are largely more renewable than a pair of Crocs, they're great in all kinds of weather and they last *years* before wearing out. Also, most boots can be re-tred and repaired for a fraction of the cost of a new pair - your Nikes and Airwalks on the other hand are a lost cause once the glue goes (as you say).

      Leave the overpriced athletic shoes to the wannabe athletes, and the plastic sandals to the beach-going set.
    • hiimsneeze, on 10/30/2007, -0/+2nobody gives a *****. go spew feminist unspeak on another site. this is not as joke
  • veriix, on 10/31/2007, -23/+4I never thought about crocs till my girl showed them to me, I bought a pair because they were comfortable. Am I a douche for wearing something ugly that's comfortable? I couldn't care less what people think of what I wear...and not in that ironic, "I don't care what people think attitude"...I just don't care about fashion, I have enough to worry about.
    • klovely78, on 10/30/2007, -1/+13Sadly, yes it does make you a douche. Wear slippers if you want something comfortable.
      • veriix, on 10/31/2007, -1/+0So let me get this strait, If I wear crocs when I go out I'm a douche but If I wear slippers I'm ok? Man, metrosexuals really need to set some standards that regular guys know because that makes no sense to me.
    • ddgromit, on 10/30/2007, -1/+8key phrase: 'till my girl showed them to me'
    • hiimsneeze, on 10/30/2007, -0/+2yes you are a douche. unless you're looking to be verbally raped, go menstruate on another forum. btw i seriously doubt that you're really a man because men don't say things like; "am I a douche for wearing something ugly thats comfortable?" because you sound like a hippie, and as far as I know, no hippies are men, just of the the male gender
    • johnkelsen, on 10/30/2007, -0/+1If you couldn't care less what people think, why are you asking whether we think you are a douche? So your "girl" showed you crocs? Does that mean you walk around wearing crocs together? That is awful and so are you. I couldn't hate you any more, so just admit that your "girl" is a dude.
      • veriix, on 10/31/2007, -2/+0Simmer down dude, no need to get so emotional over what some guy wears as shoes...and you're the one calling ME gay? lol
        • johnkelsen, on 10/30/2007, -0/+1Lol, so despite your claim that "I couldn't care less what people think of what I wear" you came back to check anyway. Hahahahaha gay.
  • josephmus, on 11/05/2007, -2/+39Don't forget Ugg boots and ridiculously pointy shoes
    • ScottyMcBaggs, on 10/30/2007, -10/+0Wtf? I have a pair of Uggs, and they are easily the most comfortable boot, if not most comfortable shoe, I have ever wore. Are you talking about a specific style? I didn't even know those were in "fashion" never heard of them until my girlfriend told me about them...
      • voetsjoeba, on 10/30/2007, -2/+12God I hope you are a lesbian ...
        • hobbers, on 10/30/2007, -0/+9With a name like Scotty McBaggs?
        • pasatiempos, on 10/30/2007, -0/+8With a name like that its still up in the air...
      • Lythium, on 10/30/2007, -2/+2Why do people not read? Uggs are ugly; that's the whole point of the name. No one is impugning their comfort, only their appearance.
        • ScottyMcBaggs, on 10/30/2007, -8/+2Why are people so idiotic that I taste puke in the back of my mouth often throughout my daytime Digging?

          The name Ugg has nothing to do with Ugly, and if that was your attempt at a joke, you've failed.

          I am a guy FTR, and the Ugg boots I have are pretty dam cool looking. They look like low cut regular tan boots with no laces. I saw some ugly ones at the store, but on the whole they have some nice boots. The 'classic' ones look pretty hot on my girlfriend in the winter. IDK, either you people are talking about different boots, or you just have ***** up senses of what is ugly.
        • rarrrgh, on 08/22/2008, -0/+0I heard that in austrailia where they came from, those were crap shoes that trailer trash wore and everyone was baffled when they became a fad

    • hiimsneeze, on 10/30/2007, -0/+2What era are you from? Last I checked women are sluts and it's precisely because of us men. Men control the media industry, the music industry, the fashion industry. Open you're ***** eyes. If a woman isn't dressing for the man, thev'e obviously assured themselves that they can never be as 'good' as other women; ie; women that dress like sluts.

      Don't convince yourself that they somehow think they're better than the fashion industry. They have deep seated issues with confidence and hide it usually with a hippie facade.

      We're all part of this doublethink
