Ruffles

Yeah, I know: They have ridges. Whatever!

That’s not what I’m referring to here. But you know what I mean, right?

Yes: Casey Anthony is always wearing shirts with ruffles in court! It’s kind of like the modern women’s-version of the old 70s/80s rental tuxedo shirt, I guess.

So, do you think it will start a new fad? She’s totally famous now, and everybody’s always talking about her, right? So shouldn’t some designer capitalize on this trend? They could have ads that say: “Feeling guilty tonight? Then try our Casey Anthony-inspired collection of ruffled shirts! They’re to die for!”

Actually, that would have worked a lot better if she had been found guilty and gotten the death penalty. And that’s the biggest outrage of this jury’s decision: they ruined this pitch for a new fashion trend! Nobody wants to buy the look that makes you seem innocent, right? Unless… 

Wait a minute: What if you looked extra innocent so some dirty guy could defile you! That would surely work, right? And certainly the people who would buy into such a trend would be more likely to be perverse anyway, right? So it’s perfect! (See? The system really does work!)
