Find a Masculine Halloween Costume for Your Effeminate Son
The Onion hits the nail on the satirical head with this Halloween guide for moms and dads determined not to let their boys look like sissies on Halloween.
"If you want your child to depict a male-dominated profession, be very careful not to choose one that's been co-opted by the gay community like a fireman, a cop, a cowboy...otherwise they'll just end up looking like a stripper."
Watch, AFTER THE JUMP...

Pitch perfect! Hysterical!

That's hysterical!

Pastry chef! Hilarious sketch.

Sometimes "The Onion" can be just perfect. Those kids were great, too.

Ha! Nice, I think my mom struggled with these same issues.

Well, in the 4th grade, I was a cowgirl for Halloween, so perhaps there's something in it.

These Onion videos are the best satirical pieces on the internet. HILARIOUS.

Those kids were AWESOME!

Are you sure this wasn't on FOX?

But won't "playing gay" warp these innocent kids' natural development? Somebody should do an interview (and intervention) . They'll be type-cast, at the very least, and the imprinting of deviant behavior now will be reaped in abundant unhappiness later. This is blatant recruitment and exploitation! There's obviously some NAMBLA connection.

this is great, and hits home b/c my ex-wife was upset when my son wanted to be Michael Jackson for Halloween. I told her to beat it....

Why is this one "hitting the nail on the head" but the anti-drug message one was homophobic? Just curious. (I found both hilarious)

holy crap that was BEYOND hysterical, not to be overly dramatic. The robot!? when he said "your faggy little son" we all lost it here at the office. Brings me back to when I used to beg my parents to get me a Stewardess outfit and they got me a MALE version with slacks and a vest!! I wanted a pill-box hat and white gloves, something from the 60's Pan Am wardrobe.

When that first little boy comes out and the lady goes, "Say Hi, Travis" and he says "Hiiiii, Travis!", I lose it. I just fucking die. Onion videos are so awesome, it's painful. Watch it again and read the lower third titles, in case you missed 'em.

"Keep his hands occupied so he can't clap and squeal."
Can we institute that rule at the bar I work at? Please?

the soldier costume has also been co-opted by the gays too...Village People anyone? or military porn...

I love those Onion news stories that begin with a fill-in saying the regular host, Bernard(?), isn't around:
"Bernard can't be here today- he's out spaying his cat."
"Bernard isn't here today because he's been institutionalized."
I may have the name wrong, but you get the idea.

Hysterical! Great laugh!

Am I the only one who think's this is not funny? I was a bit uneasy watching this, but when they dump the blood on the little Dracula that is going a bit far. Because little gays are idiots and buffoons, right? Remember, when they stop laughing with you they start laughing at you.

Didn't think it was funny....sorry....I kept waiting for something really funny....It never happened!
