Casual Fridays in Sri Lanka

Actually, this was in Jaipur India at the elephant festival this past march. I was in attendance and took a picture of the same elephant...get yer facts straight.

Edit: I took this pic

Somewhere in America a "slightly obese" man is missing an outfit.

Spatchmo · 2012-11-13T21:03:25+00:00

Since when has your mom been lending out her clothes?

FrisianDude · 2012-11-13T21:58:58+00:00

Nice phants.

baconwave · 2012-11-13T23:01:14+00:00

I see your mom is starting to lose weight.

Wookiexx · 2012-11-13T20:30:22+00:00

I love how someone even painted the toenails

dr-sarcasm · 2012-11-13T20:42:53+00:00

i see my ex turned into a lesbian

gwar37 · 2012-11-13T22:51:12+00:00

The whole event this photo was taken at (in Jaipur, India) was a complete tourist trap, and they treated the elephants poorly and you could clearly see they weren't well cared for. A lot of the British and American tourist that were in attendance left during the middle of it. It was kind of a bummer.

huckfinn5891 · 2012-11-13T23:08:55+00:00

That's a frighteningly accurate American Republican costume.

queenbrewer · 2012-11-13T23:45:24+00:00

FWIW this was in Jaipur, India, not Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka tends to treat its elephants very well. I just visited the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage when I was there last month and it seemed totally above board.

Nikiniki · 2012-11-13T21:34:24+00:00

I feel bad for the elephant :(

SharpFocus · 2012-11-13T23:02:06+00:00

My question isn't even why, it's how. I mean, how do you convince an elephant to put jeans and flannel on?

fauxman · 2012-11-14T00:25:36+00:00

Why is that Sri Lankan riding a republican?

Motarded_Rider · 2012-11-14T02:10:02+00:00

Elepants.

thefigpucker · 2012-11-13T21:04:12+00:00

So that's where my extra pair of pants went.

maliciouslogistics · 2012-11-13T19:12:01+00:00

Please allow me preemptively suggest that the elephant's clothes came from the junior's section of a department stir in the US.

catskul · 2012-11-13T21:48:03+00:00

Thank god for Walmart.

Pussychutney · 2012-11-13T22:03:46+00:00

All I see is John Goodman

hotstuff23 · 2012-11-13T22:51:52+00:00

and i can't even get my cats into cute outfits :(

CantStopDontStop · 2012-11-13T21:17:31+00:00

That's enough flannel on that thing for like, 7 grunge bands. And Jeff Foxworthy is salivating over all that denim.

thefalsecognate · 2012-11-13T21:20:29+00:00

Sri Lanka's "Big and Tall" stores diversify their clientele. Also this elephant looks like people on the public bus in my city.

thedirtyspatula · 2012-11-13T21:49:16+00:00

An advocate for the big and tall section if I ever saw one.

istrebitjel · 2012-11-13T21:55:59+00:00

Benjamin Blümchen gefunden!

from a German Children's story

jelde · 2012-11-13T23:03:54+00:00

this is why elephants trample people.

bigwaffleman · 2012-11-13T23:32:55+00:00

OP how did that elephant get your mom's pants?

FaggotsScaredAtBBQ · 2012-11-13T23:43:16+00:00

denizen is the brand of jeans they sell at target. I thought this was my husband from behind.

Bixby66 · 2012-11-13T23:56:52+00:00

It looks...so natural. Like all elephants should wear clothes like this.

captainburnz · 2012-11-13T23:57:09+00:00

Stop! Those are prescription pants.

Jake_91_420 · 2012-11-13T23:59:38+00:00

Probably shouldn't make an elephant wear jeans! Just saying.

bh65 · 2012-11-14T00:00:47+00:00

Babar

zzt711 · 2012-11-14T00:14:40+00:00

Pants still need to be a little bit lower to complete that gangbanger style.

Disco_Drew · 2012-11-14T00:25:57+00:00

This could have come from Peopleofwalmart.com

chefanubis · 2012-11-14T00:45:05+00:00

More like casual wednesday at your local Best Buy.

close_enough_ · 2012-11-14T00:46:22+00:00

someone needs to hit the gym!

ha5hmil · 2012-11-14T00:50:44+00:00

/r/malefashionadvice would not approve.

Rend0n · 2012-11-14T01:12:07+00:00

How!?

ringringbananalone · 2012-11-14T01:13:23+00:00

Oh dear, that American tourist seems to have lost his white sneakers.

fakethepolice · 2012-11-14T01:14:15+00:00

All I see here is someone riding a Wal-Mart shopper.

mrmeowman · 2012-11-14T01:15:02+00:00

There's a video to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_qb3D_Emh4 and you can watch them bathe and dress up the elephant.

It was a publicity stunt for a Levi's sub-brand, Denizen. They did this travel contest thing where the winners were paired up and sent to different countries to 'get experiences' to design one-off jean designs. The vids look mega staged, but their experiences were pretty cool in the end - a pair of them played fire hockey in Mexico, and the Mexican-Indian pair were sent to Jaipur to dress up an elephant for this parade.

cheruchan · 2012-11-14T01:19:56+00:00

I stared at this for far too long before realizing what was weird.

another_old_fart · 2012-11-14T01:29:36+00:00

Welcome! To Phantasy Island!

gingerdicks · 2012-11-14T01:41:31+00:00

Day 22: The natives still have not discovered I am an elephant

need_pics · 2012-11-14T01:49:04+00:00

Not sure if I can cry or laugh.

SeanMyklKing · 2012-11-14T01:52:44+00:00

Bullshit... That's a picture of your parents during foreplay.

Curious_Englishman · 2012-11-14T01:53:25+00:00

Holy shit I took this photo! It's in Jaipur, India.

edit: Turns out I am a liar. This is the photo I took http://i.imgur.com/9YEtz.jpg

smow · 2012-11-14T02:19:30+00:00

looks like walmart in america.

tickleberries · 2012-11-14T02:21:39+00:00

Gosh, I want to make so many cute jokes but that poor elephant can't go to the bathroom without thumbs!

Heagram · 2012-11-14T02:33:06+00:00

there for a second i thought this was someone seen at a golden corral

Coconutcanon · 2012-11-14T02:35:21+00:00

Boss-a-phant

TlFF · 2012-11-14T02:36:46+00:00

John Goodman? Is that you?

AFRO_PIXEL · 2012-11-14T02:37:52+00:00

omg jeans on an elephant pretty sure ive seen everything now

s_al_pal · 2012-11-14T02:42:52+00:00

Probably borrowed an American's pants, though.

degenerate_imbecile · 2012-11-14T02:47:45+00:00

Chris Christie called. He wants his pants back.

Vayren · 2012-11-14T02:48:02+00:00

As a Sri Lankan who was in Sri Lanka 3 weeks ago, I can confirm we do infact dress our elephants in clothes to preserve their modesty. We're not inhuman savages, forcing them to go naked as they labour!

UncleRobbie · 2012-11-14T02:52:29+00:00

I thought it was Chris Christie.

bumblelikebees · 2012-11-14T02:57:02+00:00

AHHH this makes me so happy!!! :D

dudeness23 · 2012-11-14T03:00:47+00:00

That's a BIIIG BITCH!

dickcheney777 · 2012-11-14T03:06:58+00:00

They ride Americans in Sri Lanka?

Edit: India, since OP seems full of shit.

Joobawka · 2012-11-14T03:07:35+00:00

I thought this was a picture from "People of Walmart".

sensitivePornGuy · 2012-11-14T03:33:10+00:00

It's clearly Elmer's day.

oodlynoodles · 2012-11-14T03:44:26+00:00

Not Sri Lanka.

MakkaCha · 2012-11-14T03:54:04+00:00

I want to ride in it's pocket.

Carmenmor · 2012-11-14T03:58:04+00:00

Hey it stole an american's clothes! Not cool bro.

SomeGuyInChicago · 2012-11-14T04:10:21+00:00

Looks like Jared found a use for them old jeans.

esrith · 2012-11-14T04:49:36+00:00

LOOK AWAY ITS THE MEXICAN STARING FROG!

mindaika · 2012-11-14T04:59:38+00:00

Hey, they got yo' momma's pants!

TipOfMyAnus · 2012-11-14T05:02:05+00:00

That was subtle. Well done.

Apoptosis94 · 2012-11-14T05:07:35+00:00

Oh how sweet. John Goodman donated his Roseanne outfit to poor elephants. Philanthropy at its finest.

Musicray · 2012-11-14T05:08:48+00:00

Elephants are such friendly animals :) well, most of them

loliwearhats · 2012-11-14T06:09:51+00:00

Hey look, it's the Governor of the Great State of Mississippi!

Presto94 · 2012-11-14T06:23:22+00:00

Alright. The seventh grade side of me that was obsessed with "yo momma" jokes immediately surfaced when I saw this and I thought, "Look, that elephant borrowed your mom's pants" God, I need to get out more often.

JoseColina · 2012-11-14T06:45:25+00:00

BEST. IDEA. EVER.

Sithun · 2012-11-14T06:47:11+00:00

Theres a Lewis commercial in this somewhere...

JSimmo · 2012-11-14T07:44:05+00:00

He stole my jeans!

Teenage_Handmodel · 2012-11-13T20:40:15+00:00

I need more of this!

Tsiphon · 2012-11-14T00:28:34+00:00

OP made an error, this is a picture from inside my local Walmart.

Diffie-Hellman · 2012-11-14T02:25:07+00:00

For what it's worth, that's also what most of my coworkers look like.

MrPizzlyBear · 2012-11-14T04:03:45+00:00

To me, this is r/aww material...

mrgreenjeans9 · 2012-11-13T21:20:25+00:00

thought i was browsing plentyoffish for a minute

lmjr1978 · 2012-11-13T22:27:31+00:00

Thought that was the average American until I read title...

ipackheat · 2012-11-13T22:27:54+00:00

"American tourists in Sri Lanka"

charl2486 · 2012-11-13T21:46:33+00:00

this is so not funny...poor animal

Boognish80 · 2012-11-13T22:08:37+00:00

It thinks it's people!

b0mb · 2012-11-13T22:23:02+00:00

The Sri Lanka Mexican staring frog!

Chootrattanarood · 2012-11-13T21:39:05+00:00

In all seriousness, as much as elephants deficate, it has to be ridiculously uncomfortable for that pachyderm.

wellhushmypuppies · 2012-11-13T23:16:32+00:00

wow -- and he doesn't even have to get the elastic waistband kind like I do. Now I'm really depressed.

Minerva89 · 2012-11-13T22:41:24+00:00

For a moment I thought it was just another picture of a fat 'Murica woman. Sad how they look so much alike.

CaesarDan · 2012-11-13T21:38:04+00:00

It's funny because those are probably clothes from somewhere in the Midwest.

enjoinirvana · 2012-11-13T21:44:25+00:00

I wonder if they sewed the clothes onto it or actually dressed it up. Either way, impressive.

AkiraInugami · 2012-11-13T22:45:02+00:00

fuck animal cruelty..

username_win · 2012-11-13T20:58:06+00:00

Wha...How th...I'm confused

r_shawshoe · 2012-11-13T22:07:08+00:00

I thought i left you in Sri Lanka, working the desk at the sex hotel?
