Wednesday’s Worst: If Halloween came in November

Posted by David Foley On November - 17 - 2009

Courtesy of the fine folks over at Kissing Suzy Kolber, we have our first Wednesday’s Worst in quite some time. This week the dishonor goes to the over-zealous Eagles fan on the left.

A few things here…first of all, if the girl on the right has any interest in going on a date with a handsome, charming Philly blogger in Orange County just leave me a little comment on this post and we’ll make it happen. I appreciate your enthusiasm, to say the least.

Now let’s discuss this specimen on the left. I’m all for dressing up and having a good time at a sporting event; after all that is the reason we put up with insane ticket and beer prices to actually go right? That being said there is “dressing up”, and something known as “dressing down”, aka “making your fanbase look like a bunch of insane whores.”

The green hair dye would have been more than enough, but was the silver body paint/bikini top/ridiculous-looking bird on the face ensemble really necessary?!? Not that I have a huge problem with a girl flaunting the goods, but when you take it this far you are not only embarrassing yourself but your team and its fans.

I know Eagles fans don’t have the best reputation in the world, but there has to be something that separates us from pathetic individuals like the one on the left and the weak use of face paint is one of those things. That and having an IQ over 10.

So take this as a fair warning my fellow Philly brethren…it is in fact possible to go too far when dressing up for a sporting event, especially on the road where you are not only representing your team but your city too. Keep that rule close at heart, lest you end up being made fun of on the internet like our not-so-wise female friend in the silver body paint.

As for the friend in the DeSean Jackson jersey? Ain’t NOTHIN’ wrong with that!
