a message to furred turds

the only reason i can imagine that fur has managed to keep its foothold in fashion is the fact that it's expensive. fur is disgusting. i actually feel waves of nausea wash through my body when i see it. the only thing that keeps me from projectile vomiting on people in fur is thinking that those animals have already been through some shit, and the wearer looks pathetic enough as it is. i'm sure that it isn't exactly the reaction fur wearers are going for. quite frankly, when i see someone in fur, all i see is that they were too hopelessly lacking in creativity and originality to think of any other way to make themselves look "fashionable" or even presentable except to slather themselves in the trite and desperate slogan of "i'm rich, bitch!" and that they are so incredibly ignorant and uninformed that they don't even realize the primitive and frivolous barbarity they display. i would say you might as well wear a sign that says, " i have money to burn, but don't have the mental reserves to figure out a better use for it, please respect me!" but i realize fur is actually a much more efficient way of getting that message across. now, if you live in a shack on the steppes of siberia, i understand that fur is functional for you, and that the coat you're wearing, you probably caught and skinned and constructed yourself, so props. this rant is not for you. you notice how fur clothing and accessories in the prehistoric people exhibits of the museum of natural history actually look strikingly similar to the fur clothing and accessories we have now? it's not because cavemen were sototally channeling their inner chanels that they came up with a style to brave the ages. it's because there really aren't that many ways of making dead animal hair and pieces look like something you should be wearing. and in those exhibits, those people look like they're trying damn hard to keep from freezing to death. you in a fur coat with no pants on just points to an inexplicable and tragic trump of logic that fell somewhere in our human time line. fur is not fashionable. i mean, really, just take a good long look in the mirror. maybe somehow you don't see what most other people see, but if you need an explanation, you look like the abominable snowman or a wookie with a shrunken head, and with maybe about 1/10 the intellectual capacity. animal rights activists complain that fur is cruel and the only reason for it is vanity. to be blunt, the only thing fur says to me is that the wearer rather pitifully has nothing to be vain about.
