"Ghetto baskets" are a classy gift

Chris Spags Founder and Editor

I’m often trying to think of a gift that both provides the recipient with worthless things and makes me appear racist. Thank the Heavens for helping Ghetto Baskets to find its way into my inbox.

ghettobasketsimage 07 "Ghetto baskets" are a classy gift

Items that may be included in the basket (it’s a grab bag, so it’s “totally random” ) include:

Hot Sauce
Pregnancy Test
Grape Drink
Batteries
Beef Jerky
Potted Meat
Pork Rinds
Noodles in a Cup
After Shave
Plastic Commemorative Plate
Religious Candle
Porcelain Figurine
Kung-Fu DVD
Cassette or VHS Tape
Doo Rag
Vapor Rub
Energy Drank
Soap
Outdated Calendar

Sadly, no white hoods or orthopedic lynchin’ shoes are included to really drive the point home.

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m all about a bit of racial humor. For example, did you know that while I, a white male, type like this, a black male TYPES LIKE THIS! It’s better as a visual joke. But come on, this isn’t right. I mean we’re making every stereotype about a black guy come to life in the form of this gift basket yet we’re NOT including delicious fried chicken? That’s just lazy.

Oh wait, the photos on the Web site are all of hipster-looking white people. It’s totally cool then, carry on.

[thanks Chris for the tip]
