Sorry, but I fail to see how expecting somebody to put some effort into
their appearance is evil.  Give me a break.

I've done enough interviewing to know that the cloths *do not* make the
person.  However, I've done enough to also note that people who don't
give a flip about their appearance seem to either become you're best
employees OR your worst.  I'm going to be careful based on my
experience.
