"Honey, could you pass the KKK and Pepper?"

Okay, so these little hugging salt and pepper shakers are everywhere around Paris. I've been seeing them at the market, in little boutiques and the like for about a year now.



Precious, oui?

I didn't really give these cutesy home accessories a second thought until yesterday when I noticed a...ahem...differently attired figurine.



"You've got to be kidding," I thought. "Is that a Klansman shaker? Should we assume it is to be filled with salt only?"



My friend Q, who was with me, examined the shaker and stated "In France we would think of this to be a ghost and not so much associate it with anything else." Okay...then why is he wearing a belt?

What do you guys think?
