Horrors Here's Your Halloween Costume: "Snake Charmer"

Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Tue, Oct 18, 2011 at 7:51 AM

"Snake Charmer": Only $49.99 at Halloween Mart.

Description:

A sight rarely seen outside the street markets of India, it is the Great Snake Charmer! The Great Snake Charmer stupefies passers-by while he maneuvers his snake with grace and elegance by simply blowing his own flute. The Great Snake Charmer has such control over his snake that he dares to do what many man cannot: kiss his own snake. Ladies beware! If this guy can charm a snake like this, imagine what he can do to you.

Disgusting display.

He's insecure about his small penis.

I'd be impressed if blowing into the flute while 'fingering the holes' (pardon the expression) actuated some pneumatic pistons in the snake.

Did they try to find the whitest guy in the world to play the snake charmer? I can't tell if that's more or less offensive than getting an actual Indian guy to do it.

@ 4, it's less offensive with the white guy.

Creepy eww.

@5 - Well, at least he's not painted brown.

It's the same model from yesterday's costume, isn't it?

Why is this not a Slog poll? I need to know if this is making you horny!

Ladies beware! At last, truth in advertising.

The sausage and meatballs are better.

Surely we should encourage things like this? It's always helpful when the assholes and dicks of the world label themselves as such in obvious ways. You meet someone wearing this costume, and you can immediately know exactly how much of a prick they are. No further social interaction necessary, time to meet someone else, someone who might turn out not to be a total wang.

I wonder if the snake is held up by wire of some sort and/or is detachable? That costume looks comfy and kind of warm (with shoes).

13 the snake is attached to the flute so that when you move one it moves the other. It will be flaccid most of the time, especially when he is drinking.

Too obvious to be cute. I'm with #2. Anybody that entranced with his own dick (and thinks you should be entranced too) usually doesn't have that much to be entranced about. This costume is for the enjoyment of every 14-year-old boy sprouting his first pubes.
