Forbidden Set Shows Darkest Side of LEGO

Oh, come on. You don't seriously thing this is the only set where a male minifig is wearing a plastic banana sling, do you? There are several minifigs in similar outfits. I think the worst is the one at the bottom of the first page who's wearing black butt-floss and a bomber jacket. Scratch that. It's the three guys on the second page who are wearing _armor_ with their jocks.

@dantaylor08:
Actually...she's got more modest trunks on, since they painted part of the costume on her thighs.

@papaguru:
I've seen better (yes, that's an old yellow Classic Space astronaut minifig). Sorry, I can't find a larger version anywhere, as it seems to have been deleted from both Brickshelf and MocPages.

@Dunechaser:
Come up with something better that doesn't involve (expensive) paint deco that'll just rub off anyways.

I always thought it was more than a little disturbing that LEGO's solution for putting a minifig in a swimsuit bordered on the obscene...

Speedo is one thing. Speedo with a T-Shirt? Now that shit is frightening!

I remember the "Speedo Man" Lego! Thats exactly what we called him: Speedo Man. I had a few of those dudes, he came as a wind surfer with his dune buggy, and another one with the speed boat yacht that floated on water.

The fig certainly has "HassleHead", so I can see where you might suspect. Sometimes I wake up with HassleHead. Scary.

This is it? Sheez...
When we (my brothers and me) were young, we used to make naked minifigs by taking the yellow space men and sand of the space logo of the torso.

Drawing boobies on them with a sharpie though, turned out to be quite difficult...

Has anyone ever seen the Lego Bible? In the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, there is a pic of a Lego guy...ummm...doing something to a sheep...

I'm far more concerned with the lack of women in professional roles. The only two professional women appear to be a nurse and a waitress. Damn you lego and your sexist "You may only wear the long hair lego piece or the hat lego piece at one time" misogynistic dogma! I'm burning my androgynous chest-and-arms lego piece in protest!

My bad, there are a few female character- but certainly not enough to sustain a population of Lego figurines.
