As someone whose worked and lived among such poverty I can certainly say to the "Not funny" people. . . SHADDAAAAAAAAP!!!<soapbox>If someone finds it funny so be it - for all you know, the kid finds it funny too. You'd be surprised at how resilient the human spirit is. I wouldn't call "misery" unless he was walking in a garbage heap or engaged in some forced labour. For all you know, he just tore his swimsuit and got creative. He and his friends don't look sick or starving and the others have bathing suits and jeans, So I'm going with the torn-suit theory. A third option is that that's my cousin a few years back and he's just being his usual weird and goofy self.</soapbox> Personally, I find it inspirational. Weird and WTF, but inspirational. |

"i'm actually surprised that the OP didn't call the kid Chad. But seriously, it's not like Fancy ever claimed he understood humor."I'm guessing by OP, you mean original poster. If so, I have to point out that IAB changes the descriptions. So, the whole "Chad" thing is an invention of IAB. |

"You are just mean for putting this on here...."Why? The kid's obviously not all broken up about it, it's better than nothing and he has a possibly very bright future ahead of him with that kind of creativity. In fact, this is a picture of hope to me. "Triumph of the human spirit" kinda thing. Aint nuttin gonna keep this kid from swimming with at least SOME dignity. And if he has to make it himself, So be it. :D |

That... could be taken in a good direction, actually.
If whoever took to designing and/or perfecting the idea did it with taste. But I think we all know chances are slim. |
