Perhaps the most memorable moment from Barack Obama’s acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention was when he exclaimed “Enough!” He was referring to the past eight years of GOP corruption and mismanagement, but another recent phenomenon is nearly as serious, and warrants just as stern a rebuke: men wearing plaid shorts.

It’s uncertain who first thought it would be a good idea to suggest that men wear plaid shorts, though I blame J. Crew. I’m absolutely certain however, that this is the worst fashion faux pas since the rolled up blazer sleeve. I’m looking at you, Don Johnson.

So, can we please come together as a nation and call a halt to this gross crime against crime against fashion? Because if we don’t stop it now, there’s no telling how bad it could get.
