Editorial Cock-Up of the Day: Scrolling Belt Buckle

By

Reading time 1 minute

Todd Keebler said we were making a mistake by not including the LED belt-buckle, which I had negligently presumed to be already old hat. See, the first time I had seen the buckles they were peeking from under the milk-white baby fat rolls sported as a defiant simulacrum of adult health by a pair of girls who were in Manhattan with their mothers. The mothers, seemingly from outside the city on a quest to make their twelve-year-old daughters look like the sluttiest, pink, split-seamed sausages that $30 in Chinatown could buy, were not embarrassed to be seen with two gravy delivery drones bisected by bright, glowing messages proclaiming, “Dope!” and “Fashion!” So just like I don’t make a post every time I see a Teen Ham Squad member wearing a glowing jersey with a two-frame EL wire animation of fellatio over her pot belly, I presumed that this technology had slipped quietly from the land of bad club gear and into Hot Topic territory months earlier, and that my self-imposed sequestration from human contact had once again left me the least-pickled herring in the jar.

Apparently, I was wrong, and I apologize.
