why i don't like duck dynasty (a fashion manifesto)

there seems to be a lot of controversy surrounding the tv program, 'duck dynasty,' as of late. it seems suddenly a lot of people don't like them much anymore, which i think is good. i think it's about time everyone else caught up with me because when it comes to not liking, 'duck dynasty,' i'm a trailblazer who never needed awful comments made in a gq article to inspire my disdain for this show (although it does help keep the fire alive).

here's the thing about, 'duck dynasty.' the guys on that show, they're "those" kinda people. you know the kinda people i'm talking about, right? the kinda people that no matter how hard i try or how hard they try, i just can't get past my own prejudices to embrace them. they're what i like to call, 'camo guys.' y'know the type, they like to wear camouflage clothing out in public when it's absolutely unnecessary.

i'm no fashionista, but i do know this, camouflage clothing was made for one purpose, and that's to hide yourself. it's a type of clothing that serves a purpose and when you wear that sorta thing outside of the necessary hiding situations, you look like a buffoon. nobody should "want" to wear camouflage clothing. it should only be worn out of necessity.

it's almost like a uniform (in many cases, such as the military, it is). you never see flight attendants, police officers, nurses, or best buy employees wearing their necessary occupational threads outside of the necessary occupational situations. it would just look stupid and their friends would probably not wanna be seen in public with them. camouflage should follow the same guidelines.

i don't think i'm being too harsh here. i could go on about how i think hunting is stupid because there's grocery stores that stock all that stuff for you so you don't have to wake up at 5am to freeze your ass off in a seat on a tree. this is such a great time to be alive if you're a meat eater. never have i sat down to a steak or picked up pork chops at pathmark and thought, 'damn, i wish i could've been the one who killed this beast.' but hey, to each their own. all i'm saying is to keep the camouflage in the woods. unless you're gonna wear it in pathmark. because pathmark is sorta like hunting, or at least it's the closest i'll ever get to it.
