Hmmm.... I believe this may be some type of secret study of how ego affects the urge to do stupid crap.
It seems WVFM's ego must be enlarged to even think of owning several of the items you posted earlier. But the act of actually wearing the vest all day in public is quite incredible, and raises this phenomenon to new heights.
The only thing that would be an even greater scientific find is if WVFM also had the habit of making a statement of affirmation like, "you got it cheif!" Then makes the "double-snaps" motion, followed by a double point.
I believe this was mentioned somewhere in Revelations as being one of the first signs of the apocolypse.
