2. I get what you're saying, but I really can't blame

DUers for snarking over the fashions. The real news out there is depressing & sad & makes a lot of us want to crawl into a hole & not come out. Dissing over ghastly dresses & bad bras & guys who look like they bought their tails at Kmart just takes our minds of the real news.
