And that would only be slightly tackier.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>The inspiration for this blog came when I stumbled across the site <a href="http://zazzle.com/">www.zazzle.com</a> and noticed that they actually have a section called "ugly ties" where people can simply click and buy these fashion abominations. I am completely amazed that people will PURCHASE something that is that is already labeled as "ugly". Credit to zazzle, though, for their no-holds-barred approach to the subject.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>Here is one of the gems I found while browsing their selection: </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 210px; height: 210px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oWh2WwOgkmA/S2BYJSWy8zI/AAAAAAAAAAU/xUtEfAzeZzI/s320/olaf_ostrich_tie-p151441433443612558td9w_210.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431438067178337074" /></div><div>I cannot even begin to fathom the occasion/event where wearing this tie would be even remotely appropriate. Ostrich farmers are the only people I can think of who might have received this as a gag gift from an estranged relative or somebody who hates them. And even then, it should be collecting dust at the bottom of their closet. </div><div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4042092440484704389-827519657676192148?l=uglyties.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12682993027965210254noreply@blogger.com0
