They had to use a mannequin because everyone is dead.
May 29, 2012 at 9:52 am
omg coffee shot out of my nose, thanks asshole!!!
June 2, 2012 at 6:33 pm
me too! I’ve been following this and every time I come back I laugh all over again at this one. rare birds <3

The mannequin reminds me of Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct for some reason…

It’s because the Armenians were victims of a genocide! Unless you go with the Turkish government who says “We didn’t do it! They all fell down the stairs or something…”
May 29, 2012 at 9:33 am
Psh. I liked Genocide Houndstooth Scoods back when they opened for Matricide Plaid Hairnets back in ’09.
May 29, 2012 at 9:57 am
Yeah, but the aftershow was killer.
May 29, 2012 at 9:20 pm
Agreed… the cattle prod solo alone was legendary.
July 3, 2012 at 1:44 pm
But then they signed up with Death Row records and now they’re walking around in Kosovo, with masking tape over their mouths. They’ve sold out. RIP, Snoods.
May 29, 2012 at 9:35 am
What, you don’t get a warm, fuzzy feeling in your head and neck when you think about the planned killing of a country or race of people? Hm. Must be just me.
May 29, 2012 at 10:08 am
Apparently all cupcake-sniffers know what a “scood” is, but “genocide” has to be defined for them.
May 29, 2012 at 12:16 pm
HAHAHA!!!
May 29, 2012 at 1:21 pm
Let’s hope so anyway.
I do believe this item is aimed at space aliens with pointy heads.
May 29, 2012 at 2:01 pm
I had trouble with “scood.” I thought it was a misspelling and misuse of “snood” for a while, until I figured it out. (I think. It’s scarf + hood, right?)
May 29, 2012 at 7:55 pm
But isn’t a snood a scarf + hood? I was thinking that a scood was a snood for a cod?

No, a snood is a sort of hairnet for the back of the head. Here’s one: http://www.doversaddlery.com/equi-star–classic-velveteen-show-bow/p/X1-36218/?ids=5ilvajuolplfkf55d4mptsiu
Basically a mesh bag you stuff a low ponytail into. People wear them at horseshows, because flying hair looks bad and can obstruct your vision, and the helmet doesn’t fit right over a braid. Also English show clothes are ridiculously old-fashioned.
July 3, 2012 at 1:46 pm
I wonder where that dude has gone, that scood-y scood- y dude. I loved him, I loved him like a son.
May 29, 2012 at 7:35 pm
Perfect to wear to your next cross burning, gay bashing, or other racist, sexist , or homophobic outdoor event.

Never again!
And I mean never ever again!
May 29, 2012 at 9:36 am
OK, so let’s analyse this point by point, shall we?
Product name that has nothing to do with product: Check!
… name offensive to many people: check!
… deliberate attempt at controversy: check!
Barely competent work: Check!
FRONT PAGE MATERIAL RIGHT HERE.
Seriously though, genocides are not a cool, funky thing to add to your product to make it sell better. If you’re going to name anything after a genocide, It had BETTER WELL HAVE ALL THE MONEY GOING TO A CHARITY THAT HELPS SURVIVORS or it’s just a sickly blatent attempt to cash in on shock. You should be ashamed, seller.
May 29, 2012 at 9:39 am
She actually linked some of her other “products” followed by “go fight against crimes of humanity like a lady!” So she clearly supports ending genocide if it gets you to buy her shit.
Fuck this seller so fucking hard. I was going to make a joke and I can’t now.
May 29, 2012 at 9:42 am
she uses “bespoke” in her shop subheader. That’s got to count for something
May 29, 2012 at 9:59 pm
I guess it means that we can all go buy genocides that have been personally tailored to our murderous needs.
I am going to go have a drink now…
May 29, 2012 at 9:45 am
How brave, how noble, how controversial of her to be against genocide. SHe’s taking a massive stand there, and if she needs to recoup some of her losses due to all the genocide lovers out there boycotting her, who are we to judge?
Except, wait, that’s not how this shit works. I don’t like genocide very much either, seller, and I don’t do much about it either. But I suppose she’s better than me cause she sells products that remind people that genocide happens. Seller, I have the news.
May 29, 2012 at 9:54 am
But is she’s selling product that, when you wear it, makes other people want to kill you — how is that helping?
May 29, 2012 at 3:55 pm
It’s actually a cozy to wear to a beheading.

You don’t. Natural selection sometimes causes extinction, as a species gradually dies out because of inability to produce enough offspring to survive to maturity. Genocide is the deliberate annihilation of a group of human beings (all of whom are the SAME species) because you don’t like their language, customs, color, or culture.
May 30, 2012 at 7:30 am
Here is me being an asshole:
To be fair it’s still natural selection if there is some selective pressure on inheritable traits creating a shift in frequency of those traits in the population. I don’t know if genocide would count though because the selective pressure is usually (always?) on non-heritable (cultural)identifiers and though it will probably result in allele change due to having some traits at higher frequency by chance if not specifically because of ancestry, the shift in these will be more evidence of a bottleneck (in the remaining population – i.e. humans in general)then being acted on themselves. If the murders target specific heritable traits (skin/eye color, a specific DNA sequence) it’s definitely natural selection though certainly not about fitness beyond not getting murdered by that specific group.
I just wanted to clarify that selection can occur from within group pressures and does not require an extinction event.
Also genocide sucks.
May 30, 2012 at 3:28 pm
I think my problem is I rambled and wasn’t entirely clear.
That or the block of text.
Also I really really hate genocide. Cambodia was depressing as shit and I give money to amnesty international on a regular basis (not that this absolves me from being insensitive or anything but I do more then think genocide just “sucks” – sorry about that).
Anyway, I love biology and evolution in particular and had an asshole moment of wanting to talk about it regardless of the appropriateness of the situation. Almost anything that results in changed reproductive success (like premature death) influenced by any trait at all is selection…it seems I can’t stop.
June 3, 2012 at 10:50 pm
She’s not against genocide. She’s against the crimes of humanity. Genocide is her suggestion for a cure, it sounds like.
Either that, or she’s about as deep as those magazines that use one-dimensional punning headlines that basically mean, “Look! I can free-associate!”
May 29, 2012 at 10:40 am
OMFSM it’s sincere? I was assuming there’d been a translation error, something about “knock ‘em dead!” times a million… But if she actually, honestly just meant to bring up genocide, she is seriously fucked in the head.
August 12, 2012 at 1:58 pm
I agree.

Anninyn: as I read along, my mind inserted ‘”Urban Outfitters” MATERIAL RIGHT HERE’
(Remember that dreadful yellow shirt with the 6-pointed star design?)
May 29, 2012 at 10:11 am
Maybe they need to change their name to “Urban Outrage”… but then they would sound like a punk-metal band–from the suburbs.
May 29, 2012 at 2:11 pm
I don’t think they can legally be called a metal band if there is no umlaut present in the band name.

Isn’t the important question here whether *my* feelings “does count” for all this? They’re hurt, retardedcockheads. Hurt, I tell you, and I think I speak for all of us here when I “cough..cough… ” right back at you.
June 1, 2012 at 9:25 am
Genocidal is not just a name. When using such a charged word you are asking for controversy. It might as well be HitlerNaziKKK or NukeThemAgain. If ‘she’ chose such a terrible name and is now suffering from hurt feelings than she’s a hypocrite and needs to go live in a home for the simple minded. What about the feelings of all those who have escaped genocide? Who have lost friends, family, loved ones to a mass slaughter?
June 1, 2012 at 10:54 pm
If I sold a hooded sweater that said
‘KKK hoodie
KKK: white supremacist group that believes skin tone is an indicator of worth
Protect your head and hair from the cold of a storm front with KKK hoodies’
would that be any better? NO. Genocidal isn’t a brand name, ‘genocidal’ is an adjective, meaning someone that endorses or participates in genocide. If she wants to use a highly negatively charged word to describe her clothes, she had better be ready for the shit storm that follows.
June 4, 2012 at 8:25 pm
*Ahem* This is just a wild flying guess, but I’m betting you’re the seller herself…If so, thank you for taking part in our experiment.

Right?! I thought at first she cut a sleeve off a large shirt and just pinned it to a dummies head.

I think it is actually the middle of a blouse–in some of the pictures you can see raw edges from cutting.

What’s a “scood”? Is it a snood for scat?
No, you’re thinking of a spooper.
“Scood” is a hat for a scrotum. Unless that’s a “scrod”, I disremember.
May 29, 2012 at 10:49 am
If I may be serious, this comment made me wonder… Scarf+hood=scood
Why does anyone call it a snood in the first place?
I remember that the pudgy, morose, vacant-eyed seller called it that. Hers was more of a tube or ring scarf, so aught to have been a tarf, scude, rarf, scring. Even if you called it a hood or toque or beanie, you can’t come up with “snood”.
So what words IS “snood” made from?
May 29, 2012 at 10:55 am
A snood is just a snood. It’s an accessory in and of itself. Think Lily Tomlin as the 11940s era telephone operator. Headband+hairnet = snood. I’d say “correct me if I’m wrong” but that would be redundant amongst the Fat Jealous Loser Harpy Grammarian Know-It-All Nerd Herd. God, I fucking love you, my people.
May 29, 2012 at 11:19 am
fuckit I’ll bite.
(disclaimer) former costume designer here.
Wikipedia for once is fairly accurate.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snood_%28headgear%29
TL;DR
been around since the 700s (not 1700s – the 700s)
still in use today, derives from the Old English
snōd
also refers to that flappy-do that hands off a turkey’s beak, which may be more appropriate in this case…
May 29, 2012 at 11:36 am
Thanks to you both. Silly me asssuming all strange words are etsyisms.
The turkey wattle factoid is awesome! From now on I’ll imagine that’s what such accessories are based on, rather than the hair-containment cloth.

Scood: SCraps of houndstooth sport coat + hOOD. I’m impressed. It takes extraordinary talent to take the pinking shears to that sports coat of your grandmother’s and simultaneously 1) offend everyone nonspecifically 2)lie about how you made the item & what its made of 3) butcher the English language .. wait .. linguistic genocide starts small, but if it is carefully nurtured.. 4)identify the perpetrator as totally clueless 5) add the the ugly quotient of the planet 6) give OffGrid a bad name, all at once.
May 29, 2012 at 9:28 pm
It’s scood enough for her, it’s scood enough for me, it’s scooood, it’s scoood enough for me-ay! Ayiyiyi!

Can we not make scood a thing? Just call it a hooded scarf or some shit. Maybe they called it genocide because when you read “scood,” that’s what it makes you want to commit (against shitty crafters).
May 29, 2012 at 9:41 am
AND IT’S NOT EVEN WELL MADE! LOOK AT THE GAPPING! I’M TYPING IN CAPS BECAUSE I’M SERIOUS RIGHT NOW.
May 29, 2012 at 9:51 am
she just pulled the leg of a pair of her dad’s pants over her head!
May 29, 2012 at 9:52 am
I was thinking it was a button up the front skirt that has been “repurposed” (gawd but I hate that word)
May 29, 2012 at 3:14 pm
The only word that annoys me than “repurposed” or “upcycled” (they’re tied) is “proactive.” Yeah, because I’m against action. Gah!
And since when is lopping the torso out of a 70′s era checked shirt and pulling it over your head like a moron crafting?
May 29, 2012 at 10:48 am
I thought it was an upcycled buttoned shirt/blouse.
May 29, 2012 at 11:06 am
My vote is it’s a sleeve. Bitch spilt something on her blouse so chopped up the unstained portions & wants us to buy the scraps on Etsy.
OOH, that’s it! It’s a hood made of scraps:
scraphood=scrood
The worst part is that so many of these “upcyclers” don’t even do nice tucks/darts/etc so their stuff will fit well. They just safetypin it onto themselves in a drug haze, then replace the pins with little stitches & call it art. The difference between some crazy Etsy skants or fascinator, and the weird styles you see on GaGa or Rhianna; the difference between haute couture and garbage, is WORKMANSHIP, planning and quality. Cupcakey douchebags, grr! They’d build a house all asymmetrical and wavy-walled, and try to say it was an homage to Frank Gehry, when it was really just that they hadn’t measured or levelled anything. if yaknowaddamean.
May 29, 2012 at 11:46 am
But… if they had to measure, and cut, and put some effort into it, it would detract from the beauty and spontanaity (spelling?) or some such shit.
May 29, 2012 at 3:45 pm
I originally read that as “upcycled buttoned shithouse” and now I think I’m vaguely disappointed…

May 29, 2012 at 8:09 pm
If you mean here in Australia, winter actually starts on Friday. It’s getting a bit nippy round the nether regions and I could do with a couple of these – things – to keep my knees warm. Just slide them along the legs and secure with a bit of hayband tied in a jaunty bow.
May 29, 2012 at 9:46 pm
You had me at “Here in Australia”, Juicy. I’d go there again, and tie a jaunty bow on your nether regions – or at least buy you a drink.
May 29, 2012 at 11:40 am
That is simply her coat hook. The bow/swiffer you speak of is the fascinator she wore to a fancy party the night before.
May 29, 2012 at 9:38 am
Although I have to admit that when you are planning to kill an entire race or nation, keeping your head warm is PRIORITY ONE.
May 29, 2012 at 9:40 am

I’m not willing to assume she’s that self-aware.

Protect your neck & head from the bullets, shrapnel and razor wire & accessorise with the GENOCIDE Scood this Fall…
People, people, calm down. This Kiwi’s just sending a big fat kiss of support to, er, Somalia I guess.
Although after scanning through her shop I found zero detail on how spending money on her overpriced crap manages to “fight against crimes of humanity like a lady!”
Maybe she thinks fighting crimes against humanity involves strutting the runway in fierce heels?
May 29, 2012 at 3:21 pm
She’s RuPaul’s idiot cousin?
May 29, 2012 at 10:23 am
You call your clothing “Genocide”? You might be an oblivious asshole.
And it resembles an Arab headscarf?? You might have just redefined “oblivious asshole.”
May 29, 2012 at 10:32 am
She needs to add that definition in her listing.
May 29, 2012 at 10:43 am
Yes, I noticed that as well. This really takes a special kind of stupid.
May 29, 2012 at 11:15 am
Due to the resemblance to those checked scarves, I thought at first it was a Palestinian or possibly Bosnian reference.
On second thought, though, I realized it was just part of a checked shirt wrapped around a mannequin head, with a word attached to it seemingly at random. Is the shop like a word-a-day upcycling calendar?
SEO: Ur doin it wrong
May 30, 2012 at 12:45 pm
I am SO glad I wasn’t the only one whose brain went to Palestine and Bosnia….
You KNOW she poofed up that bend on the top of the head on PURPOSE…..Arafat style. Sadly, it doesn’t have his, je ne sais pas…..with the flipped over end, and all….
May 29, 2012 at 11:22 am
actually my 1st thought was “someone bought a pair of pants from the 1980s at Goodwill and cut them up”
2nd thought – eww, why is the crotch part on her HEAD???
May 29, 2012 at 2:22 pm
She couldn’t spell *shemagh*.
May 29, 2012 at 10:29 am
The fact that the mannequin is blond with blue eyes just makes it that much worse…
May 29, 2012 at 10:32 am
Scood-by doo, why are you?
May 29, 2012 at 11:06 am
This makes me stabby.
May 29, 2012 at 11:12 am
Makes me wonder how much you hate the person you need a gift for if you think ‘Hey, let’s go to Etsy and search for genocide, I’m sure it will bring up a nice gift for hir’.
Then again, I’m not related to a violent dictator or warlord so how could I know.
May 29, 2012 at 11:18 am
I fixed that first picture:
May 29, 2012 at 11:49 am
suddenly now the genocide reference makes some sense!
May 29, 2012 at 1:52 pm
OK, now I’m fuhreriuos!
May 29, 2012 at 12:12 pm
The thing is I can’t even give her the benefit of the doubt that quite possibly the seller doesn’t know what the word genocide means. She actually looked it up, defined it, then used it anyway! This is just a special kind of stupid.
May 29, 2012 at 12:13 pm
fascists hate when you wear fucking pant legs on your head!
May 29, 2012 at 9:42 pm
Does that make them facist-nistas?
May 29, 2012 at 1:21 pm
Though there have been many an occasion wherein I have typed the phrase “face-palm” and, yes, I’ll admit, even a fair few occasions wherein I’ve said the damn thing aloud, not once have I actually partaken in the action described.
This made me use both hands.
May 29, 2012 at 1:26 pm
Must have missed the Etsy Success newsletter that recommended the use of creepy mannequins in your pics. This is the second one this week! Maybe I should open an Etsy Mannequin Supply shop and rake in the bucks! What to name it? hmmmm…
May 29, 2012 at 1:49 pm
“Dummies 4 Dummies”?
May 29, 2012 at 1:48 pm
That looks marginally like a Fatah keffiyeh. Apart from that random connotation, I have no clue what this dipshit is smoking.
May 29, 2012 at 2:26 pm
“Why, Joyce, your hat-slash-necklace made from a sleeve
IS SIMPLY TO DIE FOR!”
“Aw shucks, really?”
“Oh yes. Not just one death, even, but MILLIONS.”
“Wow, thanks for the useful critique, fellow Etsian! I shall call my fashion something to indicate it is worth millions of deaths, because you would never steer me wrong. What do you think of ‘genocide’?”
“What a cyuuute idea! It really has an edgy, socially conscious ring to it. Love. That. Name!”
May 29, 2012 at 2:38 pm
Genocide is soooo 80′s. Call me when she does an African Tribal Batik HIV Suspender Thong.
May 29, 2012 at 2:52 pm
Yeah, that definitely looks like the Palestinian keffiyeh.
That… plus the name… dude, you do not post a black-and-white checkered headscarf entitled “Genocide.” You just do not do these things. Don’t these people have any sense of… anything?!?!
*rage flail*
May 29, 2012 at 2:55 pm
Wait, let me try again, in gif form.
Rage flail:
May 29, 2012 at 3:34 pm
Kermie flails are NOT rage flails, dammit! The Kermit flail is full of happy excitement. Stop ruining my childhood!
May 29, 2012 at 3:41 pm
So, rage flail fail, then? Tough crowd!
May 29, 2012 at 3:42 pm
I always wondered why Kermit never seemed to get angry, but then I realized that Kermit’s secret is: he’s ALWAYS angry.
May 29, 2012 at 3:44 pm
Just like that other guy who’s (occasionally) green. Well played!
May 31, 2012 at 1:17 pm
Really? I always figured it was stress.
June 10, 2012 at 1:43 pm
I’d like to reference the “Good grief, the comedian’s a bear” skit as a prime example of a Kermit rage flail.
May 29, 2012 at 10:52 pm
I think Arafat’s expression sums this up pretty well.
May 30, 2012 at 12:48 pm
Didn’t you know it’s ok to be discriminatory against Arabs?? Did you miss the Cupcake Memo????
May 30, 2012 at 6:30 pm
That is for Fatah, specifically. While they are the largest branch of the PLO (and perhaps the sanest, if that means something) they are not exactly “in control” anymore. Arafat’s death led to factionalism, with Hamas gaining control in some areas and Fatah in others. Unfortunately this means Fatah must compromise to regain control, and will likely swing more to the right.
I doubt this “art” was supposed to refer to Arafat, but maybe it’s commentary on either genocide against Palestinians or by Palestinians? Who fucking knows.
I think the different patterns and colors are like a political symbol, but only in Palestine because Arafat used to wear his distinctive pattern in such a distinctive manner in the 70′s. I haven’t seen them used elsewhere in the Arab world as a badging mechanism. (I’m not an expert, though, and live within the protective borders of The Great Satan, so take that for what it’s worth.)
May 29, 2012 at 3:18 pm
Well, on the plus side, it did push that horrific chicken skin mask off the front page.
Trying to find some silver (polyester) lining here.
May 29, 2012 at 3:37 pm
So what she really means to say is…
Hi thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy my scood
Sidenote: I hope you die in a fire
May 29, 2012 at 10:54 pm
Excellent idea! It can double as a wick for your Molotov cocktail!

It will protect my head and neck from cold and wind but will it protect it from Genocide?
May 29, 2012 at 4:03 pm
The scarfcowlhood looks as though it was made by amputating a pant leg and just throwing it on a mannequin’s head.
Also, I am quite certain that is the same mannequin who starred in the Twilight Zone. Let me see if I can figure out how to post an image.
May 29, 2012 at 4:04 pm
oops, nope. oh well.

May 29, 2012 at 8:39 pm
That looks like the mom from Lost in Space – June Lockhart. And holding that information in my atrophying brain is why I can’t find my car in the supermarket parking lot after 30 minutes.
May 29, 2012 at 9:04 pm
June Lockhart also played the mom in Lassie TV shows. And yeah, that does kind of look like her.
May 30, 2012 at 4:22 am
Nope. That’s Anne Francis in a Twilight Zone episode. Very apt, Elysapeth.
I much prefer the one where Chad Dickerson is being followed by steampunk octopi and robot watches croaking “Franklins!”.
June 1, 2012 at 9:52 am
Anne Francis stars in Forbidden Planet
I know that because of a song. Can anyone tell me which one WITHOUT looking it up? ^_^ Because then you’d be my super friend.
June 3, 2012 at 10:16 pm
Rocky Horror Picture Show Theme Song. Also, the Redux that sometimes appears at the end of the movie but was rarely played in theaters.

…un-fucking-believable…
May 29, 2012 at 10:52 pm
She’s fixed it to “STOP GENOCIDE” now. But I really don’t get how buying this is going to do anything of the sort? What am I missing?
Those crazy Tasmanians…

There, there, here’s a tissue.
June 1, 2012 at 9:55 am
If I had a shop I would not want someone tarnishing my reputation. I would make sure this didn’t happen by not using phrases like “Genocide” all willy-nilly. Also, my clothing wouldn’t look as bad as that scood. The word genocide is just a word that means the murder of many. You can’t use genocide without meaning murder. You really are ignorant.
May 30, 2012 at 8:51 am
I’m thoroughly baffled by the pure ignorance of this product. I can’t wrap my mind around why Genocide could be a possibly appropriate name for this!? I can think of quite a few reasons why it’s not though.
May 30, 2012 at 2:58 pm
Ahhh yes, because making fun of people who market their scoods with the term “Genocide” is just plain tacky, whereas it’s totally classy to market said scood as “Genocide: the planned killing of a whole nation or racial group… the masses of society, created by their own government & elite.” So glad they set me straight on THAT one.
May 30, 2012 at 11:24 pm
Of course the fact that it comes from Tasmania, where genocide was actually practised on the indigenous population with frightening efficiency in the 1840s makes it all right.
I wonder if calling it INCEST, CHILD PROSTITUTION or CANNIBALISM, three other white Tasmanian specialties would be as funny?
June 1, 2012 at 9:56 am
Those are just words! Don’t be such a sadist! Stop bullying her with your reading comprehension!
May 31, 2012 at 3:25 am
Umm, excuse me, but taking my “doctor prescribed medication” is what keeps me from buying shit like this,wearing it around town, shooting people with a water pistol.
June 3, 2012 at 10:20 pm
Your comment marks the first reasonable use for this piece of poorly sewn cloth.

I WANTED YOU TO CRITICIZE ME. THAT’S THE WHOLE POINT OF EVERYTHING I’M DOING. YOU’RE THE STUPID ONES, NOT ME! JEEZ!”
