Ethics Germans are Effed in the Head

Posted by Wm. Steven Humphrey on Mon, Oct 22 at 2:15 PM

Frequent readers of the Mercury know that I like to make fun of Germans. Like… a lot. And because of this, a few readers have even accused me of being racist. (Umm… FYI. Germans are not a race. They’re a nationality. So actually, I’m being “nationalitist.”) However, I’m not the only person who thinks Germans are a little effed in the head. Check out Cracked’s hilarious list of THE 30 MOST UNSETTLING GERMAN HALLOWEEN COSTUMES. These are all costumes they found on German sites, and if someone came to my Halloween party dressed in any of these outfits? I’d be feeding them the business end of my shotgun. Here are a few creepy examples.

ABE LINCOLN (Stop looking at me like that, Abe!)

And who doesn’t love BAGGY THE KANGAROO?

HEY… who invited RAPEY, THE PANTHER?

Plus they include at least one costume which is so racist that I will only include it after the jump. WARNING: IT’S BAD.

Behold… "THE CAVEMAN"???

Unfortunately, that's not the wost of the lot. Check out even more German costume atrocities here!

:/ that caveman costume is just wrong. but good call on the characterization of the panther suit. that is one costume i would not like to encounter in a dark alley.
