Its gone too far. What started out as a good thing has gone horribly wrong. Nitrile gloves for surgeons.... Ok sure that makes sense. Wearing them to clean a CV joint. Ok again I can see that. To change windshield wipers?!?!?! GTFO. Now its even worse though. This months Maximum PC has people sporting the trendy purple gloves to install everything from RAM to PCI cards. WTF is wrong with us. Have a look for yourself:

The same people who are wearing gloves to blow their nose, brush their cat, make their green tea, are probably the same people screaming "Think Green". I know how to think green. How about not using 20 pairs of rubber gloves each day between the time you take your morning leak and make your morning cup of brew. All you Howard Hughes MFers know who you are.
