where do you even get bacon material? You can’t go into Walmart and pick it off the rack, I fear those outfits required a lot of thought on moms part…But why BACON that is just so weird !!
would have been cute had the boys ties also been strips of bacon…
or eggs….
Or even scallops. Yum.
These are kids found on a gag gift. It’s a joke because it’s just an empty box. They think they’re getting a bacon suit and they’re like..oh..thanks…then they open it and you have their real gift inside.
Again, just a gag gift, not real.
You too, can get your very own BACON TUXEDO it’s even bacon scented, mmmm.
You will be popular will all the dogs in your neighborhood!
hahahaha
Nothing has devestated me more. Nothing.
The bigger one in the middle looks like he’s protecting his smaller brothers. He has a “pleading for understanding and help” look. I also feel quite bad for the person who conceived and sewed these outfits. It must have taken a lot of work. Surely they didn’t PLAN the bacon-ness. It must have just become evident afterwards. Surely.
Coming up next – olive loaf swim wear!
HAH! Priceless!
It is safe to assume they are not Jewish.
And a note from the Van Helsings to their mother. Its Garlic which repels the vampires. Bacon only attracts the Werewolves.
and Dogs* ….for the love of all that is arcane, it is a compound bow. Definitely NOT a cross bow. Have you learned nothing?
Why ?
What did they do wrong ?
Poor kids.
Awww, come on – it’s obvious their Dad runs a butcher shop – these outfits are a write-off as advertising expenses.
Technically speaking this is a great job of cropping. The original shot shows the family dog gnawing on the left pant leg of middle kid.
Alright, so I’m assuming that’s not real bacon, which leads to 3 major issues. 1) Something thought it would be cool to make bacon-esque fabric. 2) Someone thought that bacon-esque fabric should be made into suits and vests, and 3) Someone thought that it would be a great idea to subject these children to said suits…
If it is real bacon that was one giagantic pig!
HAHAHAHAHAHA…
Fun with Photoshop aside, isn’t that actually prosciutto?
Oh Charlene, my stomach is hurting with laughter….or it could be my cholesterol level.
do you think they have the matching band-aids from urban outfitters?
then again, if you wear a bacon suit, UA probably isn’t your kind of store (too many “i’m not a nugget” and “please don’t eat me” shirts).
what a bunch of hams…. sorry, couldn’t resist!
With the boy in the middle I can see a bacon-ish waistband of likely bacon pants.
…
I want bacon pants!
If I ever get stuck in a lift I’ll have something to eat.
i am officially turned off bacon
What exactly do you say to the seamstress who is going to make those suits “Yes, I want suits for all of my sons and of course make them out of bacon material!”
I forgot to say that these bacon tuxedos cost $99.95 each, and the photo advertising them is slightly awkward.
Now the puzzle is, did the parents buy 3 adult bacon tuxedos and have them sized smaller, or do the bacon tuxedos come in kids’ sizes.
Maybe their last name IS Bacon.
i heard they hunted down and killed the pig with their compound bows
Aside from the obvious weirdness of the suits, does anyone else think these kids look a bit like Alvin, Simon & Theodore (give the middle kid a pair of glasses)
OMG YESSS!!
Little did they know at the time, this photo offers documented proof of One Degree of Separation…
Ah, bacon………..my greasy lover.
******
A friend gave me bacon strip band-aids once.
Face it, people. Bacon makes everything better.
ha ha ha “bacon…..my greasy lover” Love it!!
Hannibal Lecter’s grandkids…
haha—i was gonna say ‘ed gien’s grandkids’!
When I was a child, I too had to wear a bacon suit. It was the only way my parents could get the family dog to play with me.
I dunno – they all look a little fried to me!
I actually snorted when I saw them…snorted in laughter..they will be so beat up at school..poor kids!
I think Mom had an affair with the Butcher. That’s where the Bacon material AND the little brother on the right came from.
LOL. I was thinking the same thing about baby brother.
once again, “PORK FAT RULES!”
By some coincidence, all three brothers grew up to be cops….
LOL!!! soooo true!
Not nice – but very funny!
Offspring of Slim Goodbody and Mrs. Piggy
So cute I could eat them up!
ok, the little one does not even look like the other 2. did the mom pick up an extra kid to fill out the other vest?
Bacon bacon bacon bacon BACOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My dogs are salivating around me.
Just thought I’d let you know – there is a real set of “Bacon Brothers”. There last name is truly Bacon (and I’m not talking about Kevin Bacon!) – they’re a notorious gang family in Vancouver BC that’s been behind a TON of shootings here in Vancouver.
do they dress like this?
Maybe their anger stems from the gang’s dress code?
I wonder if the Bacon boys are from Canada…. you know…. the Canadian Bacons, eh?
bacon wrapped shrimp
MMMMM Yum Bacon wrapped shrimp with a peace of jalapeno pepper in the middle on the grill is so gooooooood!
Insane enough to buy ONE bacon suit… but three? Where was child protective services on this one? I’m sure Kevin Bacon wouldn’t even touch this one.
My first thought is that their last name is Bacon ala Kevin Bacon. Either way if this is legit it’s a sad joke…..but it still makes me howl!
I have only one question. Why?
Release the hounds…
Great. Now I’m hungry.
It puts the lotion in the basket…hurry up, we need an outfit for the Sears photoshoot.
It needs and outfit for its portrait…
I would totally be nibbling on my sleeves if I were them.
Gotta get me a bacon suit!
I am 99% sure that this is a photoshop job, if anyone cares. The pattern on the bacon is quite a bit clearer than what would match up with the faces, which are slightly blurred. If you look at the leftmost hand, for instance, the line is too harsh where the hand touches the coat. The lighting is also a little off.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a very good photoshop job. But I do this sort of thing with wedding photos all the time and can see it a mile away.
What’s the going rate for putting all the wedding party into bacon attire? Is it a special service or does it come with a package?
don’t think so there, Sarski.
It’s a real item… and it’s officially called “Uncle Oinker’s Bacon Scented Bacon Print Tuxedo”.
I’m typically really good at spotting photoshop jobs… and this to me doesn’t scream photoshop. Even in the areas you’re talking about…. I use photoshop…
What.the.Hell?!
I know I have seen that boy in the middle somewhere or this pic somewhere.
Will the sisters come in in little egg dresses?
yum……. breakfast!
Is that Kevin Bacon?
well… we’re 3 degrees closer to Kevin now….
