While it has been overdone, Ed Hardy designs have their own "heritage"
Beat me to it! Again, I don't own any of the tattoo design clothing from EH but to say that everyone that does is a douchebag is ridiculous!!!

Hmmm... "judging" interesting point but I'm not sure how doing drugs at work, smoking in public and driving drunk has a correlation to wearing a particular type of clothing... Those are the things that I have come out against.

Ed Hardy and similar gear = "I dont want to show up at happy hour in my work attire, because I don't have very much personality as it is, so people would think that I'm too boring. So I'm gonna change into some clothing that has "personality". Never mind that I don't know anything about Ed Hardy's background.........Hey, the design looks cool, so it helps make me cool. Oh yeah, don't forget the beanie too (even though it's 80 degrees out)."

I'm not "against" Pit Bulls...the argument was that they don't attack and do major damage more than other breeds... The numbers say they do... look everyone has a right to like or dislike whatever they want. I doubt that I said that all pit bull owners are assholes/douches /etc... I routinely Garner criticism for the brand bike I ride, my gf 's age, the gear I wear, etc. I still respect everyone's right to their opinion without degrading them for it.

Which is entirely your right. Now, if these guys want to think somebody is a fucking idiot for the clothes they were, it also their right to be judgmental and intolerant. No?

You're just going with the anti-fashion flow... which is even "douchier" imho! "What every else hates Ed Hardy? Well then I hate his clothes too!" It's stupid...

BTW cupcake I owned a Kenny Roberts RZ350 back in the day and he was one of my heroes growing up so talk what you know. Heck, I even got to shake his hand in Daytona once during Bike Week. I was the original Yamaha fan boy and have owned 11 of their bikes before I switched to Suzuki. I didn't just jump on their jock when they became popular... So talk what you know.
Knowing this much about fashion also = homo

I'm at least glad to see some homo's follow motorcycle racing...or not

Lets take a look at your "thousands of years of history"

You...




Me...
