According to the denizens of Divis Flats in Belfast,
wearing pyjamas all day long, whether in bed or at the shops, is 'their culture.'
Jesus wept! It's the culture of these bet-looking harridans to scare the rest of us by appearing in public places wearing their spunk-stained bed clothing, is it?
This bizarre sartorial tradition emanates from two separate sources, one geographical and one relating to the predominant character trait in Divis.
The pyjama phenomenon first was noted in Dublin some years back. It has since been spotted across the British Isles, wherever chavs, spides, knackers and millies congregate.
The other place it stems from is the total fucking laziness of people too indolent even to change their clothes once a day.
It is generally a female phenomenon, whereby women of any age, although usually young single mothers on welfare, don't bother changing their clothes in the morning when they leave the house.
This phenomenon is not to be confused with similar incidents of public pyjama wearing across the globe, such as in
Shanghai (where pyjamas are a legitimate form of public dress) or among
Michigan students (because we all know students are lazy wastes of space.)
But it is part of a growing phenomenon of scumbags the world over not bothering to change out of their bedclothes when forced to leave their hovels, either to sign on the dole, collect the child benefit or buy more fags and booze.
Here's
Americans at it (probably because they can't fit into normal clothes anymore.) And this phenomenon is long-established in the crappier parts of British and Irish cities. Many moons ago, the Dublin community blog
highlighted the prevalence of public pjs in the fair city.
But until now, it has always been acknowledged that wearing pyjamas in public was a sad and tragic event related to deprivation, akin to begging on the street or drinking meths in the park.
Even the deluded attempts of
some fashionistas to 'do' public pjs ironically backfired when the public rightly said 'Eeewwww!"
This isn't the first time that right-thinking normal people have objected to the public sight of septic belly-piercings poking out from the pasty white spare tyres of flab that the bedroom flannels have failed to cover up.
A few months ago, a
Belfast school principal also objected to the sight of fifty of these welfare mums turning up at his school each morning wearing whatever they slept in.
But only the beleaguered people of West Belfast, the official
MOST OPPRESSED PEOPLE EVER, could turn public expressions of slovenly laziness into a culture, and transform a polite request for them to dress properly in public into a fascist attempt to silence their freedom of cultural expression.
Can't we just cull them? Darwin would thank us.
