When The Onion nails it, they really nail it.

Their all-time classic, eerie in its prescience, remains this one:

our long national nightmare of peace and prosperity

The “Hello Kitty” Avengers

Disney’s acquisition of Marvel has made for some pretty good movies and the oh-so-well-done Marvel Cinematic Universe, much to the relief of comic book fans everywhere. Imagine what would’ve happened if Sanrio had bought Marvel instead:

So much hipster in a single outfit

so much hipster in one outfit

It would appear that I’m going with a fashion theme today!

Let’s see:

  • Toque (winter hat)? Check.
  • Big glasses? Check.
  • Bushy beard? Check.
  • Sailor Moon top? Check.
  • Over-the-shoulder satchel/man-purse? Check.
  • Fashionably retro wristwatch? Check.
  • Pink and baby-blue camo tights? Check.
  • “Meat” socks? Check.
  • Converse hi-tops? Check.

I’m sure there’s an iDevice or MacBook Air (or both!) in the man-purse. If he had a fixie, he’d score perfectly on the hipstometer.

Sure, the outfit makes use of the right colors according to The Official Preppy Handbook (the ’80s satire that a lot of teenagers mistook for a style guide), but the padded shoulders — and are those padded arms? — have got to go. I’d rather wear the “used car salesman” jacket in the background. I’m fine with men in skirts, but the skirt above looks too damn narrow.
