Fashion Trend: Extremely Pointy Boots

When I see a stupid fashion, I get a rage. I am not a nerd though, so its not nerd rage. Its a "Ugh, that is so retarded, who thought that crap up?" fashion rage.
What would that be called?

why do the subtitles say chump at 2:02?

234, it would be called common sense.

So how do you say "completely gay" in Spanish?

I noticed this was uploaded on April Fool's Day, you sure it's not a joke?

Agree with Jill, this is completely foolish. I have many Mexican friends who laughed at this and said it had to be la broma.

@vonskippy - Botas Chuntaros

@Jill - no. Look up a weblog called chuntaritos or just look up Chuntaros Botas.

What about Mexican Tron?

You must be kidding me... April 1'st? this is one of the most brain-dead things i'v seen in years... it's kind of funny as a juke but not at all if it is real... Jeeshus

I live in Mexico (well, Baja California, which apparently doesn't count) and I've never seen the things. Weird, but then so is a LOT of stuff in the US. It is not a joke, though, here the day of pulling pranks is December 28, it would only be celebrated on April 1 by people with real strong roots in the US.

@Randi- I think the word they use for chump is Monoa. I've never heard the word til today, and can't seem to find it written on the internet. Sorry i can't be of help.

It's not an April Fool -I posted about it in January.

The Leningrad Cowboys should sue them.

Leningrad Cowboys! You may have a "point" there!

Possibly the source for this fad?

I thought these were to kill the cockroaches that retreated into the corners

This happened in England in the middle ages. It became tremendously fashionable for men to wear pointed shoes. As the years went by, the points on the shoes became longer and longer until eventually no one could really get around very well anymore and they faded out of style. This is true. I'm not making this up. Look it up.

This kind of "fashion" doesn't involve all the country of Mexico since i live in Hidalgo (central part of Mexico) and it's the first time i heard of. (BTW, excuse me all for my poor english)

@Encarnacion: "mono" it's like "dude" but much (way too much) informal.

Nothing new here. Just a rehash of an old medieval craze.

This is nothing new:

This happened in Medieval times in Europe. The points of men's shoes go so long they would attach chains from the points and connect them to a garter tied just below the knee and above the calf. Phallic?

Anything worth doing is worth overdoing.

Long-toed shoes for men have been appearing more and more in the past few years. I thought it was a European thing, since so many guys I've seen wearing them are all the stylish metrosexual mediterranean/euro types. This seems to be a bizarre progression.
