*Shakes fist* Damn, you win this time.Zetsubou said:Not to be an ass here and argue, but only about 1/3 of the school dressed up. The hilights were a couple of doctors, a snowboarder, flamingo wrangler, and Dwight from the office which was awesome. My only other option was going to be a professional Australian stereotype, but I did not feel like hauling a didgeradoo and boomerangs around school.Kuchinawa212 said:
I could have gone as the shirtless cowboy from New York, who is not only a panhandler but a succesful (though crazy) guy, but I have neither the body nor the diaper (or the guitar).
I guess if it was more then a third it would feel like an ass move, but since you did participate, then I guess it isn't so bad.
I think turning up as a hobo is quite funny.
Although I can understand why some teachers might not have found it amusing (they could feel like you were insulting the quality of their teaching), I wouldn't call it bad taste.

Awesome idea!
Perfect statement and social commentary on the capitalist ideals. It's quite outrageous that a teacher of all people would want to hide the fact that not all people are able to get that high paying and idolized career, and that some end up as poor and destitute.
Way to go you PC teach! Hide the truth from the children, that will make them learn a lot! *facepalm*
There's only one way you could have done it better, and that would be dressing up as a street-walking prostitute. That would've been epic!

Yes it was immature and in bad taste on several levels.
Firstly, you made a mockery of the task assigned to you: obviously you have no desire to become a hobo.
Secondly, you implied that hobos choose to become homeless, penniless and ultimately either dead or in a shelter. When your life falls apart around you, we'll see how well able you're able to handle the ignominy of homelessness.
Grow the fuck up.

Have to do? Some people do it becuase they can make MORE than minimum wage by doing it. Seriously, some pan-handlers when they're done for they day will walk a couple of blocks to their fairly nice car, and go home. Not all, not even most, but it happens.PartyMonkey said:
It's part of why I don't give them any money. They make more than I do.
I think that's pretty funny. As a New Yorker I'm surrounded by legitimate hobos, as well as numerous fake ones who make their living by conning money off tourists. May not be the most glamorous profession, but it's a profession nonetheless. Just one that produces absolutely nothing for society.
Wow you dressed up as a hobo for career day, you're a hero. I can see WHY your teacher might have taken offense but really why would you? A dumb kids playing a joke... Big whoop. People get offended by everything these days. It offends me.
It was the best thing to dress us, really, there isnt alot of jobs where you don't wear normal, besides the army etc
I came as a sex offender. I had a clipboard with a sex offender notice I got off a friend of mine who's a sex offender (Had sex with an 17 year old when he was 19). I also wore a trench coat with lots of pockets. I had a rag that sad "Chloroform" on it in one of the pockets.
All my friends loved it. Three of my teachers loved it.
I didn't tell the other ones >.>

Fuck your teacher I think it's hysterical. Strangely enough i did the some thing in High School on our "Dress like a super hero day". I was rigged complete with my grandpas old timey hat and a brown bag with a root beer bottle in it.
One of my teachers got mad about the brown bag.

It's not in bad taste tell your teacher
That your outfit represented the physical extrapolation of contemporary economical situations.
It is a post modern expression on the fundamental ideas of society, jobs and money. Money being Fiat in the US where its constantly printed and the hobo representing the rest of the world, using a pan, a traditional tool used to pan for gold, the lost standard of currency.
It also shows a departure from existing norms of societal conformity and back into the spiritual realm of non-materialism. Then quote Ayn Rand and Karl Marx and juxtapose it against you and a well dressed classmate/business man.
Take your teachers attitude against your dressing as a cultured and inducted reaction against the minority and inherent racism against anything different.
