@FakeJohnBolaris I think I should be allowed to own several guns due to my meds. This is America.

Despite the many lols this thread and Buzz's unimpeachably brilliant article have brought, it's hard to shake the impression that the guy is in the middle of an epic breakdown and I feel a little guilty for laughing so hard :(

Yeah. I'm armchair psychologizing but he seems a little manic, maybe?

I shouldn't say that, though, bc how could I know. I do get the impression that there's more than just midlife crisis here.

guys, he talks about going to sex clubs

there is clearly more than just midlife crisis here

the best part about the whole article is that he writes as though he's being very introspective and deeply honest and rigorous in his self examination... and then you get to the end and you realize hes managed to convince himself that all his new weird sex shit is just an extension of his shopping addiction and not... the other way around

I think all sex tourists are fundamentally ill in some way, but I didn't think that was the popular view. Also good point.

I am still back on the "I want my pants to give me boners" thing tbh

xxp Yeah, it seems he's managed to conduct with forensic thoroughness an audit of his history, circumstances, feelings and behaviour and then apparently managed to draw incorrect conclusions about all of them. It's almost an impressive achievement.

It's probably easier to tell yourself "I am a tastemaker with a dangerous sense of style" than "I am a dude who wants to fuck pants"

He can tell himself that all he likes, but ultimately he's just shared with the world thousands of words of self-reflection which can be neatly summarised by "I am a dude who wants to fuck pants" and that's what anyone who reads it will take away. Still, if anyone can maintain the superhuman levels of delusion required to think of themselves purely as a dangerous tastemaker, it's Buzz.

This is all a prank by John Malkovich, right

No wonder male heterosexual whites are aimed toward obsolescence, boring the rest of us to death.

"the rest of us"

is he saying...?

he says near the end that he's not really straight, but he's not really gay either

basically, he wants to fuck pants

that is the one glaring takeaway I got from this article

if he feels queer he of course has the right to identify as such but i have trouble seeing his journey for something beyond total dissolution on an epic budget

I keep imagining dude browsing through a record store and hovering over Fuck Buttons while going "hmmmm.... almost" and then getting to Pissed Jeans and shouting "EUREKA!"

the best part about the article is that he still writes with a tough-guy OH YEAH WELL FUCK YOU chip on his shoulder even, EVEN when writing about leather leggings & boners.

this is the tone he always uses when he writes. except now we're through the looking glass. and it's awesome.

dang, as a Gucci style consultant all you need are like 3-4 customers like this dude and that's 6 figures in commissions a year

despite what the article says this is how i imagine his 'style consultant' looks

they mostly just seem pretty depressed from what ive observed, buzz would def fit right in

quoting again since it stood out to me and I agree with max that he kind of glossed over the sex stuff like it was no big deal

"I have agreed to go to meetings for sex addiction, since clothing and sex for me have become one."

weirdest quote

I can show you the world / Shiny, sheeny, and sizzling

loool

Did you guys miss the part where he said he has bipolar disorder?

I missed it until I saw it mentioned in another article

his pants have tent-polar disorder

I wonder if his aggro and ultimately ill advised defense of Lance Armstrong had anything to do with the bicycle shorts looking like a crisp pair of expensive jeggings

ha prob!

lol that's an excellent theory

I know nothing about this guy except what's on this wondrous thread (don't think I can even read the orig article) which admittedly is more than enough, but please tell me more...

he wrote friday night lights and has a history of being publicly grumpy

also wrote 'three nights in august' a v. good baseball book

though on the downside it's about tony larussa

google 'douchewagon' and you'll find out all about him lol

in rehab:
