The black hoodie thing...why?
LL Cool J wore one in the Mama Said Knock You Out video. If I saw ten people at the polls wearing black hoodies on Tuesday, I would assume they are LL Cool J fans.

3. Nothing makes you look more young and hip...
then rushing out and buying the same thing every other middle-aged, balding, soccer-mom is buying.

10. It the like Fonzi's leather jacket for the new millenium
They are cheap. Black is a neutral color so you can't get your balls busted at school by teachers and other kids. And they come in handywhen you are on the creep late at night.

11. IMHO, The "Hoodie" Signifies The...

16. Understood, but it's only hard if you let it be hard
I have almost never left the house in the past three months without my buttons, which reveal my opinion very explicitly. Everyone should know that we exist and aren't ashamed to show it.
