Down with anarchy except when it's upsetting

Most offensive earwear Ever? Uhm, have to go with the hypodermic needle. Though it may be a staple of punk spreads in upscale fashion magazines there is just nothing quite like seeing a hypodermic needle masquerading as an earring up close. Because, let me tell you, up close it is Horrifying.
Like all new fashion items, I hate it cause I think it’s ugly. But, in truth I could probably get used to a four inch piece of bamboo sticking vertically out of someone’s ear, eventually come to think it was kind of cute and by the time Urban Outfittters was selling them secretly covet a pair. (Though at such a precarious angle it would always get tangled when putting on a shirt or jacket, and might even wack into door frames.)
But, aesthetics aside, the needle just gives me a particular freak out. Cause it’s not just ugly, it’s upsetting. I just really don’t want to be near someone who has a potentially disease spreading weapon stored in their ear. Like, I make a serious effort not to use dirty needles when shooting heroin so how dare you ignore my health for the sake of fashion? What if some crazy just ripped that needle out and started stabbing people? Where would we be then?
For the little proud punk who sports such ear gear, the kind of hysteria and fear caused by the flouting of a social norm is the whole point. (Saw a guy reading magazines in Barnes & Noble, a tre Punk activity, in a jacket with “Serious/ To tough to die” written in red gothic letters on the back. Immediately flashed to that refrain from “No Sex… in the Champagne Room.” Late twentyish punk guy with bangs, uh, hate to be the bearer of bad news and all, but it turns out it don’t matter how tough you are, “You’re Gonna Die.”) Yet the whole believe-in-anarchy-thing aside, why strike fear into the hearts of everyone around you, when in fact you, Horrendous Hypodermic Needle Earring Man, are probably a very nice guy, who’s earring consists only of the pushing mechanism and no needle at all?
