Signs of the Decline of Civilization

[jamespowers]

Sadly, they're too humorless and earnest to be imbibers - further contributing to the appalling demise of social ritual along with the decline of civilization!

:cheers1: :beer: Now the glass is empty.

Any other suggestions?

VALU maybe, but I'd wait for it to have a bad day.

Sounds like a good idea.

Jesus, Mary, Joseph and their little donkey, George...

:eusa_doh:

I've seen classier $5 hookers...

And no one told me there was a World of Warcraft convention during race week...

 

[Harley Quinn]

so like the life of the late Queen Anne it's frightening...

and finally...

Oh dear god...the horror just went on and on!

My eyes, my eyes!!!

 

[Smuterella]

I apologise for damaging you all, I just had to share the pain

and to think, a day at the races used to be a classy event!

 

[HungaryTom]

What races?

It seems to me that those are pictures of fleshed out ex-porn footsoldiers or some such...I'd rather let then that cat wear that pink whippet.

Oh dear..... :eusa_doh:
I'll give that article one thing, though. The writers are pure MASTERS of bs.
Take for example, this delightful picture:

Of all the things that could be said, this is what the blurb stated:
"Girly pink and floaty fabrics were the order of the day for these race-goers"

I also like one of the comments at the bottom of this article:
"Mirrors, they're a great invention..."
It's too bad none of the attendees made use of one! :eusa_doh:

Also, why do 90% of the women look like they're 15 or under(and not in a good way)? Is this normal?

Kids in pimp costumes I can deal with. Too much money and too little clothes is slightly less offensive. I would suggest a lack of common sense used to be the death knell of civilization.
Watching people walk around conducting business in public on cell phones seems like a classic "sucker born every day", ripe for the picking.

Today it seems like the God of Fools protect such idiots are help them thrive. Go figure.

The young girls nearly popping out of their dresses and guzzling from bottles are bad. The sour, middle-aged women trying hard to look 18 are worse. What's worse than that? The Bachelor, a show in which a gaggle of women compete to marry some dude. To me, it just says "desperate, no boundaries, and nothing better to do."

these are the "average" English woman, apparently. This is them "dressed up" for the annual Grand National horse racing event.

Women fighting aging tooth and nail by dressing inappropriately is certainly not an exclusively British problem. The evidence is abundant on this side of the pond, too.

Don't forget these are mostly Liverpudlian WAGs and WAG wannabees. Ladies Day at Ascot is still a bit more classy.

Oh, the humanity!!

I prefer my Living Dead Dolls.

As for doggie costumes, my little 4 1/2 pound chihuhua would have bitten you if ever tried to put a costume on him.

I'm not sure they are fighting it, more like trying to scare it into submission
