Aaron discovered this item in the Halloween costume department of his local Target. It is supposed to create the illusion of a wound beneath your clothing. On the shelf, it looks like… um.

Funny, but when I looked at this photo “wound sleeve” wasn’t the first thing I thought of.
Women – always playing the victim.
meat curtain?
A real one that’s been sewn up, at that!
NSFW?
That vagina looks infected
Of course it is–that’s why someone felt the need to stitch it up. X-D
No, no, no, that’s a porn star’s “other vagina”.
It looks like that time vortex in the Langoliers.
OK, I admit, that wasn’t my first thought.
That is better than what most folks are thinking right about now….
I was soooo scared of that movie when I was like seven. Today, I couldn’t tell you a single thing about it.
Same here!
I used to have an inexplicable fear of deep rumbling, the kind passenger jets make when they’re dropping into Airport lanes for landings…
and it turns out its the almost-exact same noise the Langoliers make.
I enjoyed “The Langoliers” right up to the point where we finally SAW the Langoliers. After that, I was too busy laughing.
Those flying-demon-pac-man graphics were absurdly silly and poor quality, even for their era. The mini-series would have been vastly better if we never saw them. Most of the other special effects I thought were fine.
I’m not the only person who watches Stephen King miniseries? Love you, SyFy (but hate your stupid name).
it looks like what?
Vagiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiina
My Vagiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiina doesn’t look like that!
You’re missing out!
Just add teeth and then you have a real nightmare.
You’re in luck!

Somebody was selling a costume of one of those on Etsy. Scan the last month on regretsy.com to find it.
Worst. Movie. EVER.
“Trick or Treat!!”
ummm….okay, sure…
ILLUSIONS!!!
tricks are what whores do for money
“Treats” are the STDs they leave behind.
If it was oozing blood then it would look like a menstruating vagina! How hilarious!
LOL
Way to just cut right to the chase! No “pussyfooting” here!
It looks like a vagina?
When did that become a bad word to say?
Sometimes it’s more fun to allude to something than say it outright.
Sometimes being coy about it is just annoying too.
My art has been commended as being strongly vaginal which bothers some men. The word itself makes some men uncomfortable. Vagina.
i know many of women who don’t say it either, Most popula I’ve heard is coochie or Privates. Some people are modest and not full blown out women world pushers.
How does using the proper term for your genitals make you a “full blown out women world pusher” (what the fuck does that even mean anyway?)?
So using the term “coochie” makes a woman more modest than just calling it a vagina?
I just call it a hoo-hah. Then whoever I’m talking to, if they’re uncomfortable with the word, will laugh instead of squirm.
I don’t like using it because I think of it as a boring, technical term. I use it if having, say, a conversation about health. However, I don’t use the term if flirting or sexy fun times. Just sounds too clinical. Same for penis.
Yes, they don’t like hearing it and find it difficult to say whereas without batting an eye a man will refer to his dick or his rod or his Johnson.
Do you like sex, Mr. Lebowski?
You mean, coitus?
He fixes the cable?
I guess even that is better than calling it a cockpit, which is what some guys I know prefer to call it.
Do you have a link to your portfolio?
I’m a guy, and I would be very unhappy if someone called my art penis-y. Unless it was on purpose (which it definitely wouldn’t be). Is yours on purpose? If so, I don’t get the point of drawing VAGINAS, VAGINAS EVERYWHERE. If not, I don’t know how that would not bother you.
I think the word vagina might make some men uncomfortable because the sound of the word, and the way it looks printed, show a strength, symmetry both of which make it an appealing word.
Us guys have a….penis….which sounds silly — kind of like some sort of scientific specimen.
I think it’s ‘Vagina Envy.’
Just reading that, I can HEAR her saying it… And in her voice, the word makes ME uncomfortable!
I don’t know. I’d rather people said vagina than stupid shit like “va-jay-jay” or “vagoo”. It’s like, you’re not 5, it’s OK to say penis and vagina.
If you knew where “vagoo” came from, you’d know it wasn’t childish at all. Well, maybe childish, but it’s not something children say.
I’m not saying it’s a word children say. I’m saying that if you’re an adult, it’s OK to use the big medical adult words for things.
you peaked my curiosity. i’ve never heard the term “vagoo” and would like to know where it came from
Vagoo has piqued my curiosity as well. All I could think of was Mr. Magoo. Maybe it’s a term for folks who are extremely myopic?
I believe it comes from this webcomic: http://leasticoulddo.com/
So cooch is out of the question?
It looks like a *vulva*. Important distinction that gets overlooked.
Yeah – I have a friend who drives a Vulva – has over 100,000 miles on it too…
I am officially going to be Vagi-knee for Halloween. XD
giggity
Nice, you have risen to the level of elementary school humor.
You must be new to the internet.
Hey they’ve gone up a notch! (I always thought the humour level was on par with most Kindergaarteners…….)
Looks like it would pass for a good hatchet wound.
If my “um” looked like that, I’d be distinctly worried.
Meh, I’d still hit it.
LOL! *wipes tears from eyes*
It looks way too large for a vagina anyway.
(insert mother joke here)
Okay, fine, I admit it, I laughed.
You could fit your whole mother in there?
But Mom! I don’t want to be a vampire again. I want to go as a bovine vagina this year!
It looks like some scary thing you’d see under a microscope to me.
Just needs a little wool or hair clippings glued on around it to make it complete.
they sell those too
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkin
Only if you’ve never seen a real one before. Jeez.
And you are the winner of the day!
Thank you!
No! It’s just a slit I tell you! Just a slit!
+1
Finally my dream of going as Edward Vagina-arms can be fulfilled!
I loled hard at this.
My plan is to buy all the discounted stock on clearance after halloween and sell them on Ebay as sex toys!
Ka-ching!
For Brobdingnagian penises. You know, like mine! Heyoooo! Come on, who’s with me? Right? Right?
Eh… I’ve wasted my life.
“The Consumerist – Shopper bite back” At… vaguely vaginal Halloween costume accessories? Here are some stories your writers might have missed:
“Cucumber at store totally looks like a bumpy green boner.”
“Hot lesbian working at Chick-Fil-A makes it more like Chick-Fil-Chick.”
“Employee at Sam’s Club has stupid idiot face, talks out of it.”
Yikes…
OMG !! This is the funniest posting and responses I’ve seen in a long time. I have been laughing so hard, I have tears streaming down. Thanks for the laughter, posters !
The only thing they could have possibly done to make that item more funny was to call it “wound sleeve”. Bravo Target.
Good to know Lindsay Lohan has revived her modeling career!
ROFL! +1 to you.
I’m a little worried to see what other stories will end up with a “Hatchet Wounds” heading.
And ladies, if it looks like that, get to a doctor as soon as possible.
That costume would ask: “Is it in yet?”
Ah ha ha ha ha ha!!! This thread has the best comments…
Needs to be accessorized with a giant Kotex pad.
It really doesn’t look like a vagina IMO
What it does remind me of is one of these:

So if you wore this under some really tight pants…
Hi, I’m 12 and what is this?
Ahhh…NOW I get why my boyfriend calls it a gash. It all makes sense now!
Looks like an axe wound to me.
