Why does an Icon dress like a football player?
Bane~Child:
When I first saw your topic title I thought you were going to tell us a joke. I was thinking about the picture icons on the computer desktop and wondering what on earth the answer could be.
I kept waiting for someone to come along and say. "I give up, why does an Icon dress like a football player?"
ZephyrZodiac:
;D Well, if you've got an Icon in your game, you'll know why I think it's really bad, like they took Daniel Pleasant's old track suit from before he became a coach and gave it to the 5,000+ simoleons-a-day Icon as if he couldn't afford to buy a decent suit! Really, does Steven Spielberg attend First Nights in a track suit? I think someone at Maxis just couldn't be bothered!
And it's bad too that Professional Party Guests could go to work in something they'd been doing the gardening in! They ought to automatically change into Evening Dress!

Steven Spielberg probably wouldn't but Peter Jackson, Lord of the Rings, is quite likely to dress down. ;)

Is it an inside joke with them like, 'One track mind'? It's the same way with the Elders, the most exiciting thing they own is a tracksuit. It's as if Maxis had relegated their most desirable aspiration to being able to go out for a jog around the block.
I can't understand the Acting career using that, it makes no sense, it's as though they forgot and left it unfinished. There are so many much nicer outfits available, but all the defaults are absolute dregs. I think the programmers must dress like this for the most part and so I suppose they see nothing wrong or unusual about it.
My husband works in IT as a Network Admin and even when he worked where the public never saw him, he has always worn a shirt and tie. There were fellows in his division that their entire wardrobe was made up from free t-shirts they received from the vendors. All they wore were their jeans and those stupid Ts. They always teased my hubby about looking out of place and bragged about not having to spend any money on work clothers. Well they looked the part too, but guess who was the one always called to the Mayor's office or to see other city officials? As a consequence they all have to were department logo shirts now and khaki slacks, but they are allowed the option to wear a shirt and tie.

I've just read Dilbert Future by Scott Adams. That is totally the culture he describes and satirises. Brilliant!
