…they are for amateur Pennsylvania cheerleaders too.

P.S. - Isn’t her 50s hair fab?

Because even the tourist traps have a sense of humor.

Forgetting to pack the essentials…

August 20, 2008 · No Comments

Silly tourists — they never realize that they aren’t the only ones with a camera and that they don’t need to bend as low as professional photographers…and that if they do bend that low, that underwear is the answer.

Say “cheese” or “미국에서 인기 있는”

Yes, yes, we know our Korean is fantastic, but not as f-amazing as these lovely ladies on a trip to Egypt’s ancient pyramids. We bet being stuck in a tanning bed* would be their version of hell.

*Please note that FPA does not condone indoor tanning

Meet the new frat pack

August 14, 2008 · 4 Comments

For this post, we veer away from our favorite topic of making fun of tourists wearing fanny packs…

Actually not too far away — we’re still on the fanny pack theme. And what a fratty little thing this nylon contraption has turned into. We’re sure this boy’s father is perplexed at the disappearance of his fanny pack in the weeks prior to his Jamaica vacation.

Ahead of the (fanny) pack

Awwww, the man in tight white shorts is ahead of the pack and he’s wearing our favorite accessory. Don’t these Ontario tourists with varying levels of enthusiasm remind you of something furrier and much much cuter?

America, the land of patriotic freaks

July 21, 2008 · 5 Comments

We love America too and all, but it’s hard to warrant packing this kind of outfit on a simple summer trip to New England, the land of seersucker. And if this is just a typical vacation outfit, don’t you wonder what this couple looks like on the Fourth of July?

Need a pillow?

July 16, 2008 · 1 Comment

Tourists are so damn creative when it comes to finding a place to rest their feet. We just hope this National Zoo visitor doesn’t fall asleep and end up slipping off this cuddly bear duo…actually, we would have loved to see that.

Finding a tourist camp

July 9, 2008 · 1 Comment

We divert from our usual making fun of tourists to bring you this motel “tourist camp” postcard from the 1920s — a time when motels didn’t advertise their HBO and weren’t singularly used by cheating spouses. Instead they housed tourists (without fanny packs) who wanted all the wonderful amenities life had to offer. Ahh, we wish we were around to make fun of them.

Bare it all

Note to tourists: While traveling in Europe wearing skanky swimming thongs is more than appropriate. Because in the end it’s all about the tan line, right?
