Video: Early Show Scaremongers Skinny Jean Set

Is your femoral cutaneous nerve feeling tingly? Is the side of your thigh numb? Are you wearing skinny jeans? Incase you weren't scaremongered enough by the Wall Street Journal piece, Dr. Jennifer Ashton stopped by the CBS Early Show to make "fashion victim" jokes and warn of the health concerns over skinny jeans that are too tight on the legs and groin.

Looks like it's mom jeans for everyone!

So now I have a legitimate excuse for calling everyone "numbnuts" - including women.

If there's a bubble when you fart, your pants are too tight.

that guy with the sunglasses is such a douche! to cite dolce and gabanna and to say that you can't wear skinny jeans with sneakers is so stuck up. Ill bet he lives in one of the condos on the waterfront AND just moved to Williamsburg!

What about the punks who have been wearing skinny jeans FOREVER with sneakers? And then there's Morrissey through the 80s and 90's.


now if they'll only come up with a scientific correlations between the played out fedora hats and confusing creativity with cultural regurgitation

I know that skinny jeans are a health hazard for me. They hurt my eyes and give me a headache.

Yeah! So the lycra tights with image of jeans printed on them is the answer! Nice CBS Fashionistas!

Hipsters running the risk of low sperm counts? And she talks about that like it's a bad thing?

Skinny jeans look stupid. I remember the good'ol days when they made fun of tight pants.

I like when they wear the skinny pants and then try to sag them. They look like hairy little penguins that need baths.
