My only commentary was sartorial - that a man going for an interview on tv ought to wear a shirt and tie (or something roughly equivalent).  That doesn't strike me as being a particularly high or onerous bar.  It's simply a standard look for a man trying to present a base level of professional competence.

The guy was having fun, and was celebrating by wearing a shirt made for the occasion by a friend of his.  You have a problem with this, because his dress sense doesn't match yours (Berkut and Tamas have the same problem).  I'm totally okay with that, as long as you guys are honest enough to admit that your preference for being buttoned down rather than fun is just a preference.  Tamas insisting that the guy is an asshole for disagreeing with Tamas's dress sense is a much more extreme position than your or Berkut's, and I don't associate you two guys with that laughable argument.

Its not my dress sense. My dress sense is the jeans and t-shirt like all other IT nerds' It is about the socially accepted dressing sense in situations where it is not just you being judged by how you dress, and the implication of disrespect to those others involved in the situation with you. Not complicated really.

Karl Stefanovic has worn the same suit most days on the Australian Today program for about a year.

The show's co-host is frustrated at how women on television are judged compared to men, because of what they say or wear.

For the sake of politeness, I'll assume your plucking this out of thin air rather than somewhere else.

When you represent your team/company/family on an official occasion, or to a wide public (lets say, the whole fucking world), maybe even with just your presence, it is customary to express that you actually care about it. One of the easiest ways to express this is that you don't dress into something totally inappropriate.

Please try to understand: this is not a cry against people expressing their individuality via clothing. It is just pointing out that there are situations in life, where going just a bit more formal (and this guy's case, a not totally in-your face shirt would have sufficed) shows respect to people involved in a social situation.

Wow, Tampax has a vagina. Makes sense I guess.

Speak for yourself.

I am being attacked by a bunch of nerds for thinking that for a few days in your life, you need to change out of your slippers and shorts.  Makes sense I guess.

I love fashion. Most of fashion's about rules

Care about what

His team? They apparently had no problem with that.

The public? Why should he care about them?

What I find infuriating is some loser bitch who did not accomplish anything besides writing a shitty blog goes on how "I don't care that you landed a probe on a comet" and there are people who do not find that attitude preposterous.

[The Brain]

Bet her comet is colder than the one someone actually bothered to land on.

Yeah. But it's like Picasso - prove you can draw first

Well the public are the ones who paid to put that probe on the comet in the first place, since this was an ESA probe to begin with.

And I'm pretty sure nobody has said "I don't care that you landed a probe on a comet" in discussing this.

I sort of would. Whenever I think about it I think it's a really impressive, mind-blowing achievement that I personally don't care about at all
