Does a Rental Tux Suck?

Are rental tuxes becoming the new matchy-matchy bridesmaid dresses? Here's a snippet of the article we posted on Twitter:

"I was recently asked to serve as a groomsman for a friend on his wedding day. I was excited and honored by the request -- until I read the fine print. As it turns out, the most daunting responsibility of the groomsman isn't organizing the bachelor party or drafting a witty speech about the groom. In my case; the most challenging part of the job was wearing the rental tuxedo selected for me.

I was perplexed by the request. After all, I already own a tuxedo: a beautiful, classic number which I had tailored to fit me like a glove. I pleaded with my friend to allow me to dress myself on his big day, but my plea fell on deaf ears. I was told I would look foolish as the only member of the groom's party not wearing the same polyester, ill-fitting tux with matching hot-pink vest and cravat. Without this attire, I would bring shame to the proceedings and maybe even ruin the entire wedding. Plus, the bride would be friggin' pissed."
