President Obama’s inauguration was historic on many levels, mostly because by now it happened in the past.

But when people think of Barack Obama’s inauguration, one thing will rise above all others. No, not the thrill of seeing America's first black president appointed into office. And not the huge number of well-wishers who flocked to Washington to see the ceremony. We’re talking, obviously, about Aretha Franklin’s stupid hat.

Seriously. Aretha Franklin’s stupid hat has become the latest must-have item. Truly, Obama?s inauguration has paved the way for a bright future where anyone can look like a monumental bellend.
