Buttons

We all know that men's shirts and women's shirts button differently, based on the fact that men have traditionally dressed themselves, while women were once dressed by others. What not many people are paying attention to, is cartoon button-up shirts. I was watching Family Guy tonight, and noticed that both Lois and Peter's shirts buttoned up the same way. I realize that I'm probably one of only two people in the entire world to notice this, But Peter Griffin wears women's shirts! But before you call him a cross-dresser, sometimes he wears men's shirts, as well. If you look at hulu.com, you will see Peter in a men's shirt on the main Family Guy page, but he consistently wears what can only be explained as women's wear. Quagmire wears what is apparently a button-up without buttons. Joe wears a polo shirt without buttons. Cleveland wears a t-shirt. In fact, I'm pretty sure that most characters are wearing women's shirts. I'm pretty sure that Jay Leno was on Family Guy wearing a men's suit, though.

Tell me again how my mind is idle when I watch television.
