The term "bad fez" made me laugh... I guess because that assumes there's such a thing as a "good fez".

kellylc: I'd wholeheartedly disagree! The one bachelor party I've ever attended was a most memorable affair that included cigars, steaks, reel-to-reel vintage skinflicks...all capped off with an embroidered fez for each of the attendees. The fez made all the difference ;)

the fez is familiar -- I can't place the name.

useful, and not that fez like. (what was someone thinking?) and yes there are good fezes and bad ones, just as there are for other hats and caps.

stacked on top of those books it just looks like a fire hazard

I don't think it looks like a fez...
...but I sure wouldn't have this in my home.

i dont like that ugly handle
