A crime wave of epic proportions is sweeping the tech-reporting landscape: Crap caps and horror hats are popping up all over TWiT’s broadcasting schedule; led most recently by former kilt-wearing Mac-hater Patrick Norton as seen above on “This Week in Tech” last Sunday. Even if Norton is just trying to channel the spirit of Samuel L. Jackson, it’s just not working. Perhaps he’s taken his cue from the wretched headgear of superslut Christina Warren?

Whatever the case, let’s hope that TWiT guests leave the fashion to New York and Milan and that they stop trying to push the envelope with their ugly noggin shields. Didn’t their mothers tell them that good manners dictate that when indoors you take off your hat?

UPDATE: Due to the eagle-eye of a commenter, it has come to the attention of the editorial board at TotalDrama that Patrick’s hat is actually a veiled “fuck you” to Leo. Bravo, Norton. Bravo.
