You people are SO MEAN. Other than being mislabeled, this is a perfectly realistic interpretation of the endangered animal commonly known as a ‘Fugly’.
Boy Howdy, I’m going on my 11th year of rescuing donkeys and I gotta say, I can’t figure out the “breed” of this one….Possible that it may be on the “endangered species” list. I give the artist credit for trying, but dog gone it….that’s not a donkey! Shame on me for saying so.
I want to thank April Winchell and all the folks here at Regretsy for the latest “internet” posting of “ohboycattoy” with her “Donkey Pardon”. The posting generated sales, which once again helped pay for another equine cancer tumor surgery last week.
There is not a day goes by….not one day, that I don’t say a thank you for what Regretsy did for my donkeys and I. I’m so passionate about my mission and your selfless help is something I will never, ever forget!
I thank you so very much….and YES, RecoveringCrackBaby……HURRY UP AND SHAVE, AL GREEN’S IN TOWN!!!! Ya better know that’s right! Darn tootin!
I truly thank you for helping me, help these creatures!
We LOVE you! Here’s Pomegrantie80′s Etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/people/pomegranite80 – HK
This could only be a donkey if we were in bizarro world. And with the way things have been going for me for the past two weeks, it’s a very definite possibility.
Pomegranite 80: We LOVE you and your donkeys (any excuse to shave!). Please post your store name again, as your user name isn’t linking to it, and we’d sure like to see your new offerings.
There must be something wrong with me ’cause I actually kinda like it. It’s creepy in that “minimalistic ambiguous animal mask that is poorly made with itchy looking fabric” kind of way.
Until I discovered Etsy/Regretsy, I’d never seen the “D” on the end of “USD” because let’s face it, having the dollar sign makes the “D” redundant. So I automatically read it as “used.” Pretty disturbing in this context. I hope that poor, forever traumatised kid doesn’t have garlic breath.
a) Mask? Looks like someone swept a kennel floor with their face.
b) Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the new Denver Broncos mascot!
c) Pro: Mask is held on by nice sturdy ribbon instead of the ultra-mega-flimsy rubber band they use on the Taiwanese superhero costumes. Con: You face will sweat worse than if you ate a fistful of habenero peppers in a sauna in Arizona in the middle of July.
Confession time: in order to fully appreciate the fuckery that is this mask, I clicked through to the Etsy listing. Before I knew what had happened, I had bought two of the seller’s (non-horrifying) items!
Fuck you, Regretsy, for actually MAKING sales for people on Etsy! How dare you!
This unfortunate creature has fallen victim to global warming & the drying up of his watering holes.
I believe they call it dessicated donkey syndrome.
Or it might be a twat waffle.
October 8, 2010 at 10:40 am
Fuck that is scary
October 8, 2010 at 10:42 am
Hahahah. Awwwwww! I like it! =D
October 8, 2010 at 10:44 am
This is scarier than Frank from Donnie Darko.
October 8, 2010 at 10:45 am
Every time I brush Alley I could have been making half a mask. But I just don’t have that kind of mind.
October 8, 2010 at 10:45 am
One size fits all. So Daddy can borrow it for a bank robbery.
October 8, 2010 at 10:48 am
I want to watch them try NOT to walk into things with those eyeholes.
October 8, 2010 at 10:48 am
What child doesn’t want to be an ugly ass for Halloween?
October 8, 2010 at 10:48 am
Oy , that’s hideous. Ya’ gotta’ be a real horses ass to wear that .
Oops, wrong ass.
October 8, 2010 at 10:49 am
how did they come up with donkey? it looks like a very disapproving rabbit to me. and a night full of sneezes.
October 8, 2010 at 10:51 am
I heart the rug(hooked rag rug?)though.
October 8, 2010 at 10:51 am
Dryer lint – FTW
October 8, 2010 at 10:53 am
What every child wants – old man pubes sprouting from their foreheads.
October 8, 2010 at 10:54 am
Straight out of the original “Wicker Man.”
October 8, 2010 at 10:56 am
Looks like two handmade sanitary pads sewn onto some woolen undies.
October 8, 2010 at 10:57 am
The old gray mare just aint what it usta’ be.
October 8, 2010 at 10:59 am
Trying to imagine what a child would look like whose eyes were positioned for those holes…
Now THAT’S a scary image for Halloween!
October 8, 2010 at 10:59 am
‘For this halloween, we’ve replaced our usually fine donkey “mask” with what we call a donkey “ass.” Let’s see if the good citizens of Etsy can tell the difference.’
October 8, 2010 at 11:00 am
This freaks me out! Reminds me of the creepy masks in the original movie “The Wicker Man” *shudder*
October 8, 2010 at 11:00 am
Quoth the Raven “Not Eeyore”
October 8, 2010 at 11:02 am
This is the tragic result of koalas raping rabbits.
It is not a victimless crime.
STOP. KOALA. RABBIT. RAPE. NOW.
October 8, 2010 at 11:03 am
Let your kid go as Eyeore. That’ll boost their self esteem.
October 8, 2010 at 11:04 am
I dare not look to see if the vendor also has a Shrek Mask.
That surely would be NSFW.
October 8, 2010 at 11:06 am
She’s going as a Democrat. Waiting to see the posting for the Republican costume.
October 8, 2010 at 11:08 am
But WAIT, there’s MORE!

October 8, 2010 at 11:08 am
OKay… Thanks, I’ll take the Benadryl, please. My nose is getting a bit itchy…
October 8, 2010 at 11:14 am
It’s the one-man-band of donkey shows!
October 8, 2010 at 11:15 am
Finally, a mask so hideous that all Republicians can agree on it!
October 8, 2010 at 11:20 am
Another generation of psychologists can begin planning their retirements.
October 8, 2010 at 11:23 am
I’m just ever so glad that this wasn’t made with belly button lint.
October 8, 2010 at 11:35 am
I didn’t know “Frank” (from Donnie Darko) went thru a freakish Frankenstein phase….
October 8, 2010 at 11:43 am
It reminds me of the splicers’ bunny masks from Bioshock!
October 8, 2010 at 11:45 am
Were animals injured during the testing of this product? If it were to improve quality control, I might be in favor of it in this case.
October 8, 2010 at 11:50 am
It’s a baby splicer.

October 8, 2010 at 11:54 am
does anyone else think those eyes are very far set? how can the kid see out of that thing?
October 8, 2010 at 11:54 am
“Look, Mommy! My mask is made of mediocrity!”
October 8, 2010 at 11:59 am
Looks like the mystery of the sock-eating dryer is solved.
October 8, 2010 at 12:00 pm
I don’t care if it casts aspersions on my commitment to sparkle motion, you’re still not getting me to wear this.
October 8, 2010 at 12:04 pm
It certain is an ass mask, one way or the other.
October 8, 2010 at 12:16 pm
*That* isn’t a donkey. *That* is an (bad) artistic rendering of general Woundwort from Watership Down.
October 8, 2010 at 12:17 pm
I’m sorry…so what animal is this supposed to be? Is there a breed of rabbit that grows pubes out of its forehead?
October 8, 2010 at 12:23 pm
I knew Disney was bad for children. This is what happens to bad kids on Pleasure Island (Pinocchio, in case you don’t get the reference)
October 8, 2010 at 12:29 pm
The poor mixed up kid obviously has put it on the wrong way up:

October 8, 2010 at 12:31 pm
So, does this go in the category of “Costumes To Get Your Ass Kicked In?”
Someone’s going to get a lot of kicks in the face…
October 8, 2010 at 12:34 pm
Wow! Way to “upcycle” roadkill.
October 8, 2010 at 12:46 pm
If it didn’t look like dryer lint, it could make a good “Midsummer Night’s Dream” prop.
October 8, 2010 at 1:22 pm
what do you get when you cross a rabbit, a duck, and a lint trap?
October 8, 2010 at 1:39 pm
Throw on some fangs and it could be a chupacabra!
Damn that’s hideous!
October 8, 2010 at 1:40 pm
Correctly reposted here:
I wondered out of how many belly-buttons all that grey lint was harvested…but only for a minute. I promise.
/gag
October 8, 2010 at 1:54 pm
is “downs syndrome bunny” too mean?
(i’m sure it is.)

October 8, 2010 at 2:32 pm
Hurry up and shave that thing Al Greene’s in town.
October 8, 2010 at 3:07 pm
I had a Pin the Tail on the Donkey joke in mind, but it eluded me.
Damn, that’s fugly.
October 8, 2010 at 3:12 pm
It’s nice to see the witness protection program has gotten so high tech
October 8, 2010 at 3:14 pm
Bugs has seen better days.
Meth’s a killer, kids.
October 8, 2010 at 3:18 pm
Also, if that’s a Donkey, then these are Shrek.

Why is there a merkin attached to the top?

#54@pomegranite80-Thank YOU very very much!
I absolutely love the great work you do!Wee-snaw!
October 8, 2010 at 4:26 pm
Does making your kid wear this constitute neglect or abuse?
October 8, 2010 at 4:29 pm
so that is what happened to all the dust bunnies under their bed
October 8, 2010 at 4:42 pm
Donkey? More like rat roadkill on the face.
October 8, 2010 at 5:01 pm
@catherder-Both. Definitely qualifies for both.

Hanibal Lecter becomes a furry.
October 8, 2010 at 6:44 pm
I still read USD as “used” even though I know what it really says.
And those Shrek boots that leftfoot posted…Louis Vuitton…that means you get to pay through the nose for fugly boots.
October 8, 2010 at 7:08 pm
To paraphrase someone more literate than I “I have seen a donkey and this, sir, is NOT a donkey!”
October 8, 2010 at 8:14 pm
..All I can focus on is the glued-on merkin.
October 8, 2010 at 8:50 pm
We’re supposed to ASSUME this is a donkey? Doesn’t that make an ASS out of U and ME?
October 8, 2010 at 10:33 pm
This will be a multiple choice snarky comment:
a) Mask? Looks like someone swept a kennel floor with their face.
b) Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the new Denver Broncos mascot!
c) Pro: Mask is held on by nice sturdy ribbon instead of the ultra-mega-flimsy rubber band they use on the Taiwanese superhero costumes. Con: You face will sweat worse than if you ate a fistful of habenero peppers in a sauna in Arizona in the middle of July.

If you turn it upside-down it could pass for a lolrus.

October 11, 2010 at 9:11 am
Darn, I really wanted to scar the shit out of my 2 year old and make him fear bunnies for the rest of his life but I am allergic to wool.

October 22, 2010 at 11:23 am
She forgot to put that it’s for mongoloid children with wide-set eyes.
