For like the 3rd year

For like the 3rd year in a row, the fashion industry appears to be hell bent on getting people to wear camouflage in non-military situations. For a couple of years, it was just the uber hip crowd that was supposed to be playing along, but now it's migrated into the mainstream. It's even in the Target ad this week. Blech.

I'm clearly no expert on fashion and I don't pretend to know what's hip or what's with it*, but I don't think I'm alone in saying that the whole 'urban cammo' idea is stupid. I'm not sure where it came from, but - other than paintball and/or Packer games - I don't see anybody wearing it in public. Where I do see it is on TV and in magazines and on 80% off clearance racks.

Or maybe I'm missing something. Are the schools actually full of 12 year old kids in fatigues and berets? If so, we may have bigger problems to worry about.
