Adrian Peterson rode a camel to his Middle Eastern-themed birthday party

Nothing says “PARTY” like some terrible stereotypes.

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Adrian Peterson turned 30 this weekend and to celebrate the event he had a Middle Eastern-themed party, which looked more like “I watched Disney’s Aladdin a bunch of times.”

He dressed like a Sultan and his giant birthday cake had a tiny person riding a flying carpet on top.

Happy Birthday @adrianpeterson #30allday

There was an ice bar too.

There were probably slightly less stereotypical ways to have a birthday party with this theme. Oh, like ... ANYTHING AT ALL. We look forward to his America-themed party when everyone is dressed up like cowboys in fat suits and his cake is Mount Rushmore. Actually, a Mount Rushmore cake would be pretty cool.
