Oh, how we are ready for the heart of Spring because March is a two-faced mean girl who tricks you into wearing a Wookiee costume to prom. You begin your Saturday at the soccer field in your Under Armour fighting the 30 degree chill, only to be stripping down in the minivan by 3 PM because the 65 degree sun is simmering you in your own juices. This would be a very appropriate time to pray that the tinted windows are really all that and a bag of chips.
We’re more than ready to put away the woolies for another year. Packing for a day out looks like a time warp trip between the ski lodge and the Caribbean. The bonus? The added wardrobe changes feed the laundry beast to Kraken-sized insanity.
But truly, you can only get so down because the REAL Spring is right around the corner. To pass the time before we can pack our winter garb away in our cedar chests for another season, we found some sweaters on Pinterest that deserve to be packed away forever . . . at the bottom of the landfill.
9 Pintershit Sweaters and a Bonus
1. Because an ugly sweater post should start by paying homage to the King of Ugly Sweaters.
Remember Bill Cosby as Dr. Huxtable? If not, do not speak of it. Just click the link and educate yourself – NOW! The CLIFF notes version? He wore sweaters that prompted viewers everywhere to wonder if there was something wrong with their televisions.

Cats really deserve their own genre of ugly sweaters.
2. There’s the sweet kitties swirling in a galaxy of rainbow roses.
You do remember this trend? It was right before the rainbow sweaters and ribbon barrettes and right after everyone lost their ever-lovin’ minds.

3. Nothing says “rawrrrr” like a cat dressed like a Catholic school girl.
So many levels of wrong.

4. When you really want to convey you’re crazy about cats.
WARNING: Side effects will include riding the elevator alone and hearing “Crazy Cat Lady” whispered in your wake. May also induce vomiting.

5. Be the cat toy.
When your love for cats is so strong you want to show your adoration to them and the world, dress yourself as a giant cat toy. Just remember to wear that Kevlar bra. Cat Scratch Fever is no joke.

6. When you need a hug, this sweater is there for you.
This will get you the attention you crave. It’s like walking around with your own personal motorboatin’ kitty.

But we can’t let cats have all of the fun. . .
7. Pigs!
We’re bringing sexy back! This sweater features pigs rooting around in filth and feces! You can almost smell the seduction! As if that weren’t enough, there are little piggy tails to highlight your jowls! On second thought, forget sexy, this is birth control.

8. Let me hear you scream!
If like any reasonable adult, you feed off of the screams and terror of little children, then this sweater should be put in your quick rotation now.

9. Sometimes you feel like chicken.
When you want KFC and you know it, don’t be afraid to show it!

10. What would an edition of Pintershit be without that final WTF?

I thought the rainbow kitty was bad. But #4? I have never taken acid in my life, and I just had some weird holographic imagery experience I never wish to relive . . . .

You’re not the first person to say we be trippin’. Ellen
Oh my gosh these are hilarious. Who makes these things and who likes cats this much???
The crazy cat ladies wearing these sweaters. 🙂 Ellen
Good lord – sweater #4 actually moves if you stare at it long enough. As usual, your Pintershit is hilarious!

Or does it? Ellen
NOOO! Are there seriously that many cat sweaters in the world? I had to wistfully nod at the old Cliff Huxtable photo. Good Lord, I loved The Cosby Show. Oh, and your Pintershit series officially inspired me to join the Pinterest crowd last week!

I know right? Did you get my little pun with the CLIFF notes? If not, it was all me. Ha! Score one for peer pressure! I’ll look you up! Ellen
Is it bad that I want each of the cat ones?

We’ll let it pass. You would have forced us to deny your very existence if you had said the pig one. Ellen
Those knitted internal organs seem to have a niche following among knitters. I’ve seen all sorts of them. They are odd, but not nearly as weird as those cat sweaters.
Ginger Kay recently posted..Reading makes me look bad.
Really? The cat sweaters are worse than the brain beanie? What about wearing the brain hat WITH one of the cat sweaters?? 🙂 Ellen
#4 made my eyes throb. I’ll be sorry to see sweater season pass 🙂

That hat. It’s like my childhood “corking” thingy only it’s gone wrong. In a completely awe inspiring way.

I want #3!! I am a Catholic school girl, and it would be purr-fect for me! (NOT!) 🙂
These are HILarious!!! The KFC bucket on a cloudy sweatshirt: I’m speechless. They’re ALL awesome.
Kate Hall recently posted..The Third Weekend Update
This post is one of the best ever. I often thought I would wear just about anything until I saw these sweaters. Who would think if wearing them? Thank goodness you didn’t get these for the girls. They would hate you forever. Love You
The Crazy About Cats one made my eyes trip out! I wonder if it would work for hypnosis on small children…or colicky babies?
Can you write that post now? Love this series!

#4 made me LOL. The expression on the cat’s face is hilarious – like even the cat can’t believe his/her eyes.
