Supersize me

I got more Obama schwag in the mail recently - this time from MoveOn.org. It's a T-shirt; nothing real exciting. But what has me pissed is that the shirt is huge. Out of the wrapper, the thing fits like a mu mu. No worries, a couple of hot wash and tumble dry cycles should fix the problem.

Or so I thought. The thing is still huge. Digging deeper, what I'm really upset about is the fact that the T-shirt was made my American Apparel. It's a fairly nascent company. They make fitted tees. Think pro cut versus club jerseys. Since their inception, I've always worn an XL in their shirts. Anyway, it seems like American Apparel too have fallen victim to upsizing - recalibrating their sizing chart to fit the ever expanding American public.

Old Navy, Nike, Hanes. Dios mio! Who's next - Trojans? What, with all the natural supplements for natural male enhancement being pushed on the public, it won't be long before weather balloon companies start making condoms. It was bad enough when they recalibrated the SAT scoring in 1995 to keep pace with the ever dumbing public. It's all part of the wussification of America - trying to make people feel better about themselves instead of actually fixing the problem.

Be sure to watch the veep debate tonight. Should be entertaining and frightening at the same time. "Frightainment" - you saw it coined here first, folks.
