So i was perusing the interwebs and came across an article on Digg called "140 Awesome Prom Fails (Pics)". I clicked on it. I saw this:
My mind was literally blown. That is all.

There's nothing remotely similar between Denard and his date and the other freaks in the list. Maybe the website creator is a Forcier family friend.

Yes, some of the outfits are
Yes, some of the outfits are ridiculous no matter where or when the photo was taken. But the real fail in many other examples is people removed from the culture of the time and place in which the picture was taken (e.g., old farts, city folk) attempting to judge and derogate the people in the picture. Denard's is an example of that kind of fail.

Denard looks sharp.........
Denard looks sharp.........
And his date's dress, although a little vibrant, is pretty tame compared to what a lot of kids are wearing. I don't see any "fail."
In fact, I'm guessing that a lot of these kids probably fit in with the rest of their classmates at their respective proms.
Every generation had their faux pas, maybe not in the eyes of their peers, but in the eyes of other generations or social networks.
All right Lemmings. Bring the heat.

It's crazy to think about the fact that Denard hasn't even been on campus for 365 days yet. Considering that Tate had (presumably) already completed his first spring practice with the team by the time this photo was taken, it's no wonder that the gap between the two QBs was so much bigger last year than it is this year.

I have to say...
I have to say...
I don't see the fail either.....it is not, perhaps, what I would wear to my prom, but nor is what I would wear to the prom something that Denard would want to wear to his prom. Ditto for his date and my date.
Perhaps, Denard and his peers would view what me and my date wore as fail. They would probably have more class than to re-post the picture somewhere and call it a FAIL.
Besides, they may not have had as many color/style options as the rest of us, because Denard has to wear flame-retardant, dilithium-proff clothing at all times and I would imagine, for safety reasons, so would his date. So there's that......

Elements of Fail
Elements of Fail
The photo is labeled "Fail" because (1) the girl's dress is absolutely made from the same material as the festive table accoutrements I once bought at 'Party City'. Also, (2) the photo was taken in the back of a damn U-Haul (notice steel reinforced seams and rivets) by (3) a photographer on his knees. Or He Pingping.
Who am I to judge? Homegirl's working it; Shoelace looks sweet. And you know he got that dress off FAST. Dreadlock ninja fast.

1. girl's dress - is this 'what not to wear now'? Where she is from it rox sox ;)
2. it is a photography backdrop that true, should not be used at that angle/elevation so the seam/hangings don't show, but is not a Uhaul.
3. LOL @ pingping. Photog is definitely not in the right place, More than likely it was set up to try and get a glimpse and a few pix up some of the shorter dresses ;)

I hear that. She is cute, hopefully he wasn't Dilithium fast after the dress came off.

I see the reflection, but...
That is part of a wall or something else that extends straight up behind the backdrop.
The reflection is 180 degs opposite the banner, the roof of a trailer would be at a 90 angle and the reflection would appear accordingly.
[muttering to self]
I have just, actually, debated the angle of reflection in a stranger's prom photo as evidence of it being a trailer in the background or not. I really need a hobby or I could very likely require counseling before the off-season is over.
Potatoe salad is soooo good, maybe I will go outside and get some

female perspective. However, I assure you, there was only one potential "prom experience" event on the minds of most males. The attire of their female guests was involed, but only because the guys were thinking about the method of which that attire could be expediantly removed.
Edit: Bah. Meant to be a reply to CleverMichiganReference's post above.

This is true, and I wholeheartedly admit to being really bored at senior prom for an entire hour before cutting out for the "after party."
I will add, however, that my high school was/is pretty damn trashy, so same dress confrontations occasionally escalate into 'girl fights.'
