Camo-fail!

For hundreds of years, mankind has envied lizards for their ability to blend in, much like Robert Pattinson in a mortuary. But we have always, despite our best efforts, failed to match the karma of chameleons.

I'm talking, of course, about camouflage. But sometimes... Most times... Camouflage does the opposite of what it's trying to achieve. Let me drop some examples on you:

1: Forest Camo
Mostly used for blending in at a Wal Mart, rarely seen in forests. The thing about this is that, outside of forests, it makes you stand out way more...
2: Urban Camo
What exactly is this trying to accomplish? Most camo works because of it's splotchy patterns blending in to a random environment... But most buildings, in case you haven't noticed, aren't 50 splotchy shades of gray.
3: Navy Camo
We've finally perfected the technology to make you able to blend in while drowning... While your body is completely underneath the surface of the water and can't be seen anyway... And the parts of your body that don't have camo, your head and hands, are above the water...
4: Desert Camo
I've actually only seen this worn in deserts... Which is where it's supposed to be used... So this one's fine. Well played, desert camo!

This hat sucks too...

5: Universal Camo
Most environments look pretty much the same, right? Well apparently that's what the guys who designed the ACUPAT Universal Camouflage pattern thought. This is what happens when you throw desert, urban and forest into a blender... And then shoot that out of a shotgun and sew it all back together. As you can see from the displeased expressions on the left, however, most army personnel disliked the change. Not well played, universal camo!

6: Pink Camo

So in closing, if you want to blend in in a city, you'd probably be better off with a brick patterned shirt, or disguising yourself as a phone booth or pop machine...

... Like the ninja!

The last, and undoubtedly least useful camo is pink.
I can think of very few scenarios in which PC can help you not stick out like a power ranger.
--1: You are magically transported to My Little Pony land and must adapt to your surroundings or die. (slim odds)
--2: Our entire planet gets turned into a giant ball of cotton candy. (not likely)
--3: Covert operation at Barbie's mansion. (...could happen)
























... yeah ....
