It's similar to going to the beach and seeing an old, wrinkled man in a thong. It's just not something folks, in general, want to have to see in public.

Do both parties still have the right to wear such things? Sure. But the general public also has the right to be appalled by it.

I really do get that, but being appalled by it is not the same as banning it. I'm appalled by MCR, but I don't want a government that has the right to ban them. Yeah, yeah, I know it's their company - I just think most people would take being able to wear cut-offs when the temperature's over 100 over never having to see something they'll most likely see the second they step out into the street after work lets out.

Also for the record I'm sure that she was once really hot, maybe back in her 20's, but she has fried her skin to the texture of leather, covered in lots of lovely age spots.

Wow. I guess I just didn't see how hot she is/isn't as in any way being the point here.

That is way more unprofessional and childish than wearing a thong to work.
