International Peter Jackson Day

I like Facebook, it tells me things I want to know. Recently, as in just now, I saw a link on Facebook to a ‘International Suit-Up Day’ event. The idea is people dress up in suits and act classy and try to be cool. I don’t see how people think this is a good idea, very few people in my opinion can pull of looking good in a suit; Daniel Craig, Sean Connery, James Bond no doubt. Joe the Plumper average does not look good in a properly fitted expensive suit let alone his only and favorite over-sized Peter Jackson number.

Yea, that's the stuff.

I don’t understand why people would subject themselves to this sort of punishment, do they simply not realise that an oversized suit makes them look like a rather dull time-traveling David Byrne without the strange charisma or musical genius? I look at the facebook event thing and there’s a photo of that player guy from ‘How I meet your mothers,’ do they think that somehow by wearing a (Peter Jackson) suit they will suddenly become suave.
