It was with no shortage of pride that I saw my hometown of Portland, Oregon, recently make headlines when protesters showed up to face down ICE in none other than ridiculous inflatable frog costumes. Since then, inflatable animal costumes of all kinds have become a joyful and unlikely symbol of resistance, as similarly garbed dissenters all across the country have shown up to protests in solidarity with the Portland Frog. You too can join in on the movement today with this steeply discounted inflatable elephant costume that’s less than $20 — a record-low price, according to Amazon.
On top of it being a great deal, I’d also be remiss if I didn’t draw the comparison between the fact that this costume deal features a crying elephant, an ironic coincidence when you consider that’s the mascot of the Republican Party.
It’s also a pretty solid selection for a protest look that draws attention and takes up space while keeping your identity lowkey if you prefer that. At the base of the elephant’s neck is a visibility window to make it easy for you to see out of, while difficult for others to see you. Reviewers call it “comfortable,” “quickly inflating,” and “easy to store.”
Rated a 4.7 out of 5 stars, this fun costume can be repurposed for more than just protest-related uses, but also for a quick Halloween costume, which is coming up on us fast — so grab it while it’s this cheap!
