So for those who didn't hear, GQ writer and Deadspin columnist Drew Magary was a contestant on Food Network's Chopped last night. He won, and I'm a fan of Drew's writing, he's not the greatest or most humorous writer, but he's very good. I will say that even as a non-fashionista that I am APPALLED and mortified that he wore the following on national television. Hopefully he didn't wear a pair of sneakers:

I don't really care about his choice of clothing, however I will say that even as a non-dancer I am APPALLED and mortified that he decided to do that weird thumbs-up-jig on national television.
 
I suppose it's not really fashionable but I don't see anything particularly awful about it either.

What, the shirt? What's the problem, exactly?

Have you seen what they're showing on TV these days? Toddlers in thongs, respectable gentlemen with bow ties.. Obese people wrapped in plastic even.

None of those are as bad as that shirt.
 
Oh man that episode was so great

can't believe he won, but then, considering who he was up against, I can't believe it seemed so close.
 
The shirt is something I might wear...but I don't write for GQ.

Indeed...

While this is a gif of a person moving in a rather dumb manner, the shirt is just 80s Jock style and nothing next to other tv stuff. Remember Honey Boo-Boo? :o
 
Sorry sunova[female dog] and noted $10,000 charity-donor made an appearance on Deadspin today to explain his horrendous fashion choices:

By which I mean deadspin did its usual clickbait rigmarole and gave zero information, instead letting readers know that he'll actually explain his horrendous fashion choices on deadspin's podcast. I'm sure when you tune in Magary will inform listeners that he'll actually explain his actions in the upcoming feature-length documentary chronicling Magary's preparation and victory on Chopped, to be released to theaters nationwide this June.
 
Hideous!
 
Was he wearing pants and shoes, as well as a shirt? Yes? Then I fail to see the problem. After all, he wasn't at a wedding, funeral, or anywhere else that merited extreme formality.

His actions, on the other hand, might make me question whether or not he was sober (I have no idea why he was filmed on that set, or why he did what he did). Is he supposed to be attractive in some way? I don't find him attractive in the slightest.

There's a show on Food Network called chopped. In it 4 (usually professional) chefs compete in a sort of reality competition show. There are three rounds, appetizer, entree, and dessert. At the start of each round the contestants are presented with a basket containing 4 mystery ingredients (ranging from the uncommon like kumquats, chard, or jicama to the annoying like hard candies or something savory in a dessert round, to the downright bizarre like Durian, Rattlesnake Meat, or a 100-year egg). The contestants all have the same mystery ingredients for each round, and they're tasked with making a dish which incorporates all the mystery ingredients within a given timeframe. Once the time is up the chefs' dishes are graded by a panel of experts, and one chef is "chopped" or eliminated from the competition. The remaining contestants then move on to the next round. The show goes until the last contestant is eliminated from the dessert round, leaving a sole winner who gets a $10,000 prize.

A few years back Food Network put out an open casting to amateur home-cooks who wanted to be contestants on a special episode of the show. Drew Magary, a prominent writer for the sports blog Deadspin.com filled out an application and posted it online. It went viral, and so Food Network picked him up as a contestant. The episode aired a few weeks ago and Magary won. Pretty much all Deadspin has been able to talk about since is, not how incredible it is that Magary actually won the damn thing, but that he wore such a heinously ugly shirt on cable tv.
 
Okay so can somebody explain the problem with the shirt? I mean, it's not what I'd expect a GQ writer to wear, but I don't see why it's "hideous."

The problem is not so much with his shirt, but more so with his face.

I was more disturbed by his thumbs, which seem weirdly double jointed to me. If you put both hands out in a 'double thumbs up', do they point out like that?
 
I've owned that shirt. Picked it out myself. Hell, I like it. You weird little Hipsters. :lol:
 
I'm pretty fashion minded. I probably wouldn't wear that polo but it suits his boyishness.

You're the most fashion conscious guy I've ever met, and that's saying something. And despite you are straight, you're clothing sensibilities are more gay than those of mostall of my gay friends.
