Belts

Here is a looooooong overdue rant.
In the highly overused dialect of Jerry Seinfeld, "What is with belts today?"
Try going to the shop to buy a belt. One which looks like a belt, and not a gigantic piece of shredded cow hide attempting to cover the grossly overweight hips of a "fashionable" female.
To be fashionable, one must follow the next few simple rules:
1) wear a skirt which is thinner than the belt to go over it
2) wear the belt 5 inches too low (i.e, below the skirt)
3) collect all you body fat and store it on the hipal region (make sure there is not one gram left on the legs)
4) be stupid

I put this question to you:
What is the role of the modern day belt loop?

It seems to have lost all function, all sense of its former self, its whole identity being wiped out with todays crazy "fat-belt" rage.
Some may argue it is inevitable, merely evolution. Much like the appendix. Still hanging around, not serving any purpose. Even getting in the way.
Who here has cut their belt loops off their pants?

Personally, I will hang on to my belt loops. You never know when you may actually want to keep your pants held up (I will refrain from any lude jokes regarding this).

The Youth For Disenfranchised Belt Loops and Skinny Belts.
The Elderly For Fattening Our Belts Up. We didn't fight and die in the war just so you get fatten your belts up to hideous proportions so they wont fit in your belt loops.

And belt buckles, don't get me started on those diamonte-encrusted gigantuan pieces of manufactured Shite!
