This Was Never Funny.

Hello and welcome to This Was Never Funny, a new segment of the blog where I present something that has never been funny, yet continues to exist in some form or another in popular culture. Today's "winner" is: White people wearing giant afro wigs.


This is not now, nor has it ever been even remotely funny. It's not even funny in a painfully self-aware, post-post-post ironic meta sort of way. It's just uninspired and embarrassing. I know white people have a history of hijacking black fashion styles, music, manner of speech, motherland, etc., but the giant afro wig is just inexcusable.


Even though I don't advocate this kind of dumbass-ness (it's a word, look it up), I think I would prefer white folks going the "black face route" and dressing up as their "favorite rapper", ala a campus Halloween party at some college in Texas/North Carolina/Boston. At least this is "pushing the envelope" some and is funny in a "My God, I can't believe how outrageous/utterly offensive this is" kind of way.


When The Whites put their minds to it, they can be quiet hilarious, all I ask is that they try harder and don't take the easy way out by purchasing a giant afro wig at the local costume shop/Wal-Mart Super Store or wherever the hell those things are bought. Don't sell yourself short, you're "better than that".

Happy Halloween!!



Now that I'm older and can no longer fully get into the Christmas Spirit because I now know Santa was a "hoax" and I'm expected to give gifts, not merely receive them, Halloween has become my undisputed most favoritest holiday ever! It's the only time of the year (excluding St. Patrick's Day I suppose) when grown-ass men and women can dress up in costumes, get obscenely drunk and not feel ashamed or embarrassed the following morning. With that said, let's take a look at some of the wacky and inventive Halloween costumes people are donning this year!


Fiesta Santa! Cool costume!


This woman dressed up as Christina Ricci's forehead, that's using your ol' noggin! LOL.


Look, it's "Mclovin" from the popular teen drama Superbad!


I think this guy's suppose to be "liver disease" or a really tall Oompa-Loompa.


Kristen Stewart from the movie Twilight.



This little chick is dressed up as "jail bait" or "Miley Cyrus."



An Irish potato farmer.



This guy's going trick or treating as a "homosexual".


Frida Kahlo.



Rock dinosaur Dee Snider.


A "crazy man."


An African-American Harry Potter.

Remember gang, be safe this year if you're going trick or treating, don't accept any apples with razor blades in them or poisoned candy. :D
