BIG, FAT, SLOW-MOVING TARGET. Well, figuratively, at least. Today's comic relief comes from an article in the Sueddeutsche Zeitung, which skewers the recent men's fashion show in Paris. The paper calls the show a "fashion mistake that we have carefully documented in pictures." "No one would dare go outside with these clothes on. Not even to sweep the street." Click on the picture to go to the gallery. My favorite comments:


Picture #6: "Here's a question, for fun: Would you wear this outfit to a job interview? If so, for which job? Circus clown? Pie baker? Horse butcher?"


Picture #11: "If the ship's piano isn't making a sound, and the flare pistol has fallen in the toilet, please slip into this brushed wool pullover. Approved for use as a signal flag in case of imminent sinking. But please be careful to avoid nearby mothers who may offer you a baby bottle. . . ."
