Of course I had to use the most drastic visual example possible ... but what is with the outburst of men wearing formal shorts?

Men, this look is not okay. I repeat, not okay! Shorts are not formal attire, it's just not in their genes. They are a summertime garment that is only allowed to be worn in a casual social setting. Shorts have no business being paired with a suit jacket or sports coat. And you certainly can't pull some of the crap that "Big Gay" Al Reynolds here is demonstrating in this photo ... knee socks and white shoes?!

My eyes are bleeding, the whole outfit just doesn't make any sense. There has got to be an excuse for this mess. Perhaps Al stepped into a huge puddle of mud and had to chop off his pant legs and quickly hem them into a pair of shorts? But the better answer is this ... Star Jones was sick of being bashed for looking terrible at events so she made her husband dress like a fool to take some of the attention away from her.

Mission accomplished, Star ... mission accomplished.
