Sacha Baron Cohen might've made it famous. John Mayer might've forced it to jump the shark. But it's the average Joes that turned the mankini into a cultural phenomenon. A gallery of rhino toe from Where The Wild Things Are reveals a snapshot in memes we'll soon want to forget.

Photo number 8 has really fucked me up! Fortunately my therapist was able to fit me in for an emergency session. Queerty, you will be hearing from my lawyers Monday morning! PTS is no laughing matter! LOL!
WTF is going on in #3?
Did you seriously just steal an idea from manhunt??
http://www.manhuntdaily.com/20.....r-not.html
That's just low and unimaginative!
Wouldn't be surprised. It's call being behind the times.
If Borat had to make the mankini famous, he could at least have chosen a better colour.
How did that one guy find one that wasn't green? The yellow wasn't much better, but it was different.
why do they only come in that horrible color?
We must ignore the disasters and marvel at its successes. I'm all for hot guys wearing mankinis. If I must put up with the occasional shock picture as a price, so be it.
@Jack: Given that the whole point of the thing is to draw attention to how awful it looks, wouldn't fluorescent green be the best color for the purpose?
Number 3 YUM…. and same with #12…. who is that though??? (number 12 that is)
guy # 3 and 11 are super hot….even with that odd mankini on
Who knew a marble bag with suspenders would become so popular? If Mayer wanted to sniff one, (14), they should have thrown up one of the ones the guys wore in the marathons.. Skid marks and ball sweat!
@Aaron J.: Yes! What in the good lords name is going on? Who told this mofo to put on his mankini during a volcanic eruption?
I love the SIDEEYE that asian boy is giving on PIC 13.
I bet he's thinking: "Oh Hell NAH! No He didn't!"
Where can you buy one of those suckers?
Is there some mankini web site?
What about those of us whose surgical scars leave us as what is classified as "ambiguous genitalia?"
Where do WE go for swimwear?
This encroaches beyond the need of well-fitting shoes. (Sigh)
@Aaron J.: Clearly it is some sort of 'triathlon'/obstacle race type thing that is going on and I am guessing NOT a volcanic eruption as it may seem in the first look. There is a guy in more 'traditional' racing attire with a number on his shirt and also there are what seems to be spectator stands behind them, if my eyesight isn't failing.
I have a question though – What's up with the fact that most of these guys decided to run races after throwing on a mankini? Is it like that special swimsuit which gives the wearer an unfair advantage???
If anyone needs proof that Western civilization is finished, the Mankini, in that dreadful color, should do it. I can't believe that these eyes, that have witnessed so much beauty, have like … seen this crap! Aaaaaagh!
One of the pop-up ads I got while viewing these fabulous fashion statements was for an anti-gay marriage bill in Maine. It asked for support of "traditional" marriage in Maine… How are they able to advertize here? These assholes are everywhere….
If you think this is a gallery you should see the pics at http://www.internationalmankinichallenge.com!
I agree with the blog post though, the Mankini has been embraced by the everyman – even though it´s far from pretty!
