Real-Life Marches of Madness

Here are some of the weirdest walks from around the world.

Here are some of the weirdest walks from around the world.



Dance of the Giglio


From the hill towns of Italy to the streets of Brooklyn, 125 guidos raise a papier mâché tower to cele­brate tracksuits, hair gel, and Saint Paolina of Nola.



Mermaid Parade


Every June, Coney Island is beset by buxom aqua-fetishists. We prefer our Coney Island freaks pinheaded, tiny, or bearded, thank you very much.



St. Patrick’s Day Parade


The only day that sees more puke on New York City’s sidewalks than New Year’s Eve. Oh, look, a regurgitated four-leaf clover!



Muff March


Some Londoners hit the streets in December to decry vaginal rejuvenation (i.e., lady-part surgery). We’ve never seen a vagina in person, so we can’t take a stand.



SlutWalk


No, not the walk of shame—these marches are a feminist cele­bration of women’s sexuality! They really need a float at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.



Naked Bike Ride


OK, so this is technically not a march, walk, or procession, but as a rule we’re all for nudity, so we’ll make an exception. (Although the image above has us reconsidering.)
