    Idle or not, this is a waste of electrons to include on /.

    kdawson hasn't posted/promoted a single decent article, ever.

    The solution is to go your preferences, filter by author, and uncheck kdawson. Slashdot looks 1000x better this way.

    It's essentially the same thing as people who dress up their pets. It only looks amusing to the owners (read: parents) who have an investment in that being.

    Hey, some of us don't do it to "look amusing". Some of us put a coat on our dog in the winter because we live in the bloody cold north and have a short haired breed that originates in the desert. Some of us put boots on our dog in the winter because otherwise she gets blisters on her paws from walking on the ice (again, we live in the bloody cold north), and besides, we don't want wet paw prints all over the house after she returns from her walk. And some of us put sunglasses on our dog in the summertime because she has a degenerative eye condition that requires UV protection to keep her from going blind.

    The sunglasses in particular cause many people to laugh when we walk past, and for some reason it also causes a few, mostly grumpy old men, to scowl, presumably because they assume we're just trying to be cute. We're not. We'd just rather have a dog who looks silly than a blind dog.
