Awwww…look at the happy couple in the matching sweaters. So cute, so sweet, so carefree…and, wait, are they also wearing matching corduroy pants? Yes! Yes, they are! Are they not the perfect picture of adorableness?
But wait…what….what IN THE HELL is going on in the background? Is it the apocalypse? The Second Coming? Is there a cold wind blowing and the terrified screams of lost souls swirling all around them?
I have the feeling that any minute now they’re going to turn around and realize what’s happening…..
”Wha…..huh...what the? AAAAGGGGHHH! Forget the chunky thermal sweaters....it’s the RAPTURE! For fuck’s sake everyone, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!”
"Don't worry! With my loosely-buttoned shirt and your kicky scarf, we'll stay warm yet fashionable in the coming nuclear winter."

In an age of darkness. At a time of evil. When the world needed a hero. What it got was him...and her...in their cable knit sweaters.

I just want to know why the woman is pointing at her crotch?

Does it bother anyone else that the pattern name is "chunky"?
Here it is...they are in OK where it is fashionable to hang out "watching" the "end" with your "chunky knits"...

And now we know what the kool kids will be wearing in the End Times. Good to know.

"I just want to know why the woman is pointing at her crotch?"
Possibly because her fly is unbuttoned...

I think it's to draw attention to the fabric vulva occurring in the front of her excessively voluminous, pleated pants.

Is it just me or does anyone else think he looks like Alec Baldwin?

Cathy, are you really telling me that the onset of Armageddon wouldn't make you drop an f-bomb or two?
Sorry that it offended you, we just call it like we see it, simple trash or not.

That girl looks like "Jenny" in the 867-5309 video.

Maybe their cords will help them survive the turmoil!

That was wayyy too funny!!!

Little did Stephen and Jennifer know that the ski resort in the Swiss Alps, that they had dreamed of going to for so long, had been taken over by Satan and his evil minions.
So, while their souls were damned for all eternity, and their vaction was ruined, Stephen did tell Jennifer to look on the bright side. At least they were the best dressed couple in Hell, with their simply smashing matching chunky sweaters and pants.

Look, it's Lucy Ewing and the Brylcreme man...and the wind machine from hell, turned up to 10. Apocalypse now!
And Cathy, whaddya mean? You;re saying there's no trashy folks in the South?! Uh, what part of the South do you come from? Why, we practically INVENTED trash and trashiness. "This here river don't got to Aintree, city boy."

Notice how well-coiffed she is despite the nukes going off in the background? I think that's really important: no matter how bad things get, no matter how much the radiation levels rise, always have great hair.

"Alan, don't leave me! Come with me to Hell. I can show you a good time!"
"Well..." (thinking) 'If I run, I'll never get in this girl, but' *dies*

What are you people thinking???
It a perfectly healthy picture of a man and a woman on top of a mountain...
Jeez, you see a bit of cloud in the background and you think it's Hiroshima 1945 all over again!!!!
But hey, when we all do go up in smoke, you'll be grateful for chunky knits to keep warm!!!!!!!

The worst part of hell is that they'll spend eternity making orange macramé spoon holders.
Posted by: Lois | May 31, 2006 at 09:52 PM
...still can't get past those pants to see what's going on behind....they're simply....atrocious
