Ice cream cone or Ku Klux Klan member?
A Florida shop had to scrap its ice cream cone mascot because passers-by thought it looked like a man dressed in a Ku Klux Klan outfit.
"We were just trying to get people to come in," store employee Jasmine Gonzalez told CNN affiliate WTSP. "We thought it was something fun for people, but eventually people took it the wrong way."
The Ice Cream Family Corner and Sandwiches shop opened a few months ago in Ocala. The owners hired a man to stand outside the shop dressed in a vanilla ice cream cone costume to attract business.
At first store owners told WTSP they had no idea the outfit was upsetting passers-by, but then they noticed a drop in business, and began to wonder what was impacting their sales.
Eventually, Gonzalez said they were tipped off that people were avoiding the shop, because they thought the peaked cap was not an ice cream cone costume, but a KKK robe. The mascot was immediately pulled off the street.
Some customers told WTSP they could understand the confusion, while others laughed at the ordeal.
"They (KKK members) don't color themselves (with sprinkles) like that," Wayne Austin chuckled to WTSP as he looked at the costume.
People are stupid anymore. The sprinkles may not be visible but I guess people can't put two and two together. Ice cream cone suit + Ice Cream Shop.
One other possibility: Nobody really mistook it for KKK but the shop claims some did so they could get on the news and get some publicity?
I thought ice cream cone suit meant violent racist. I was wondering why he was waving at cars and not burning crosses.
whatever...it don't matter...just don't bit it!
Anyone who saw that guy wearing the waffle cone and vanilla ice cream costume and mistook it for a KKK robe needs to remove themselves from the gene pool.
Since when do the KKK where cone bottoms? Makes sense... it's Florida... stop eating the shrooms people...
If you thought that was a Klansman, you may legally be mentally handicapped.
I'll take a KKKone.
WOW..........ppl are stupid
the KKK are a bunch of fruitbowls
Any reason to step on a wh ite man. What Idiots.
Retards....And you know what I mean. I do not mean a person with genetic defects. I am referring to over sensitive, over-bearing, self absorbed twits that use there personal feelings to persuade others to get what they want.
I'll take the vanilla flavor, no chocolate thank you....
Unemployment agent: " so you are back again....what happened?"
Ex kkk/ice cream mascot: " Well this one you won't believe. After 99 weeks of unemployment I thought I caught a break, but it turned out that the job I got was offending too many people. The mrf@&$rs had me put on a kkk hood and I did not even know it."
ROTFLMAO!!! That has got to be one of the funniest stories I've read in a while!
HAHAHAHA PEOPLE are ridiculous and are ALWAYS assuming the worst!
