Vancouver night clubs are stupid

My dear cosmopolitan city of Vancouver, just when I think of how proudly progressive she is, I find this: Some downtown Vancouver nightclubs are not allowing certain brands to be worn in their Clubs. It sounds like they're targeting men who are wearing expensive print shirts. Too bad guys! Just when you've gotten enough nerve to wear that Ed Hardy "love kills slowly" top, the man is shuttin' you down! I haven't heard any incidents with girls but you never know.

It's all pretty stupid for any club to limit what their customers are wearing. It's supposed to cut down on gang activity in their clubs. I think it's a PR stunt so that the clubs can be perceived to be doing something about the violence that often spills out of their doors in the wee hours of the morning. Even the police when hearing of this policy thought it was inappropriate to discriminate by dress. To paraphrase the officer, "We have a list of names of gang members not a list of clothing brands."

Girls you know when you go to a club you want to be decked out in your finest. So it seems silly that a club owner would want you to show up at the door with in a totally blank black outfit!
