Now, I think [I hope] you can all agree that comic relief's Red Nose Day is "A Good Thing".
It's ridiculous and fun, and benefits a charity.
But WAIT! Red noses are signs of drunkenness, foolishness, alcoholism! The downfall of society!
Or... they're just red noses.

Boxer shorts are no more indecent than regular shorts are, except in your minds. They cover the exact same [often more] amount of skin!

Yet... when the kilt is seen as 'exciting' despite covering yet more skin, you are all quick to point out that there's nothing immoral about wearing the kilt, and that it's nobody's business whether you've got underpants on or not.

Somebody explain to me how it's okay to wear one garment that's not the norm and not another garment that is not the norm if both garments cover up the nudie bits. Anyone? I didn't think so.

This day [which I wasn't even a fan of until I read some of your fearful and closed-minded reactions] does not benefit any charity, and I feel that it shouldn't. If it did, it would be forced to change completely to comply with imaginary standards of decency, and lose its heart. Society needs art [and absurdity can be art], and this and other expressions of absurdity are wonderful and healing aspects of society.
If you saw a businessman all dressed up, but without pants - you'd laugh. Maybe not out loud, but it would brighten your day to see a suit, tie, briefcase, dress shoes, black socks, and -blam- pasty white legs where the pants should be.

You've surprised me.
