Jul 17 2009Great Gifts On A Budget: Ghetto Baskets
Ghetto Baskets are gift baskets packed chock-full of stuff you can buy at your local convenience store. The standard Ghetto Basket costs $39, and the Ghetto Fabulous basket $46 (comes with a bow).
You never know exactly what each Ghetto Basket will include. It all depends on our shaky contacts and what falls off of trucks around the neighborhood. But it might have:
Hot Sauce, Pregnancy Test, Grape Drink, Batteries, Beef Jerky, Potted Meay, Pork Rinds, Noodles in a Cup, After Shave, Plastic Commemorative Plate, Religious Candle, Porcelain Figurine, Kung-Fu DVD, Cassette or VHS Tape, Doo Rag, Vapor Rub, Energy Drank, Soap, Outdated Calendar
Each basket comes lovingly packed in an aluminum baking pan and is sure to do disappoint its recipient. Alternatively, assemble your own basket for $14 and just tell the giftee you paid $40 at a novelty website. Now that's ghetto!
Thanks samual and chris, your pregnancy tests are in the mail. And no, I didn't already use them (of course I did).

@ C-Basstian
What ever you do man, don't not hit your boss in the face with your shoe.
BTW: You sound like a model employee, why don't you apply at Bloomingdales.
19. Bethy - July 17, 2009 7:00 PM
If it comes wtih a preggo test, I also want a wire hanger....just n case.
20. ricki ticki - July 17, 2009 7:19 PM
can you get a ghetto basket at bloomingdales?
21. JJtoob - July 17, 2009 8:32 PM
Calling it an "energy drank" makes it sound more ghetto.
Those baskets were put together by Classy "Ashy" Larry. "I'm classy bitch!"
22. Daisy - July 17, 2009 9:37 PM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max was rescuing a hooker from BAja's dad and they ended up in a military experiment. When they woke up 500 years later Max was the smartest man in the world, and ended up being president.

i have a beard and stuff. sometimes i wear sunglasses inside. i'm fat, but it looks cool on me.
25. seriously - July 18, 2009 12:51 AM
I think who ever designed the site made it look ghetto and crappy on purpose, anyone who has eyes knows that those baskets aren't on that couch, either way its funny. The fact that you can actually order a basket makes it real.
26. Tulip - July 18, 2009 1:28 AM
He he, lets go raid the novelty eagle head store, then pound the idiot who inventedthe ghetto basket with them.
27. jake lymes - July 18, 2009 2:16 AM
For once Daisy was right.
28. $.02 and a pocket full of FAH-Q - July 18, 2009 8:42 AM
This is missing the following:
Pack of menthols
Razor blade
Sharpie or Paint Pen
Anything Hello Kitty
Fake Leopard Print press on nails
Tang
Shit... my ghetto's showing... I'll stop now.
Happy Saturday to all you lucky bastards who didn't have to wake up early today!

BTW - why are there only white people (dressed in a non-ghetto way - albeit looking ghetto just the same) on the ghetto page? Are these baskets really to make rich white kids in the suburbs laugh at the plight of the people in the projects?
WTF? Did I just get all socially pc? I need coffee.

@30: don't need help to laugh at people in the projects. Mostly homeless people are far more entertaining but - damn! - those people in the projects are flippin hilarious. Did you know you could make a BBQ grill out of a Walmart buggy? And they're FREE!
