In response to organized opposition to the institution and goals of the Fashion Police Department, we find it necessary to respond to concerns of the members of the public in the following message:
Buttonthatpolo.weebly.com and the Department for Button Equality are ridiculous movements which have absolutely no merit. They are organizations that openly support the breaking of a law of fashion, which is a severe criminal offense and will be fully prosecuted under Fashion Executive Orders One and Two. Though the organizations claim to be independent of each other, they both have the same leader and the same goal: to spur utter chaos in the worlds of fashion. The Fashion Police certainly believe that the laws of fashion must change with modern-day consensus, but the time of the button is not any time soon. Polo shirts, along with all other collared shirts, are meant to be worn with the top button unbuttoned when there is no tie. It simply looks better this way, and that is the general consensus of the public and of their governing bodies. Simply look up “polo shirt” and you will plainly see that the preferred method of wearing is with the top button undone. Additionally, while they claim that they are with the times, one of the reasons they cite for disapproving of the unbuttoning of the top button is the notion that that area of the chest is something to be hidden and ashamed of. This is not the kind of body-positive message we need as we move toward a more equitable society. While these criminal organizations publicly support allowing people the choice between omnibutting (a crime) and not, they privately support only the criminal way. Don’t be fooled by their malicious tactics; they begin with reasonable arguments which evolve into more twisted, despicable ones. They also have released an image which seems to imply that the Commissioner of the Fashion Police has supported their opinion; in reality, this is just a screenshot of a message sent by an account meant to mimic that of the Commissioner. Don’t fall into the traps of the Department for Button Equality.
