Offensive Halloween Costumes

[thebestfromthewest]

Hey!
I have a question for everyone....So as you all know that it is almost Halloween and it's time to find those wonderful Halloween Costumes that make us cooler than the person next to us. My ritual for Halloween is to dress up in something offensive, but unfortunately I am having a hard time figuring out a good costume for this year. I found this list of funny, offensive Halloween costumes, but I need more. Offensive Halloween Costumes Let me know if any of you have any ideas besides the ones on that list. It would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Once, more than twenty years ago, my husband and I attended a Halloween party where a woman had on a shirt to which she she had attached many, many condoms with safety pins. And she had some funky greenery on her head. She told everyone she was a rubber tree.

We thought it was in terrible taste, but we never forgot it.

Some of those costumes were hillarious. imagine being a nudist for halloween, or for that matter, Freddy Mercury with AIDS.

At the store I saw a Richard Nixon mask with a long Pinnochio nose. They should make a George W. Bush mask like that with the long nose and all, that would be great for an offensive halloween costume.

Sorry guys, but I personaly prefer traditional halloween costumes like vampires, wearwolvs, ghosts, and the like. But then if you come dressed as an ugly witch with a broon stick, some real life wiccans might be offended.

One time, two people in my town decided to play a halloween prank. One was a White guy and the other was an African American. The African American dressed up in ragged cloths, and put fake cuts and blood all over himself, and the White guy dressed up in a KKK roab and followed after him with a chain saw.

Personaly It hought it was very VERY poor taste, and IMHO completely diminished the true Halloween spirit. THey both caught all kinds of flack from the neighbors, and nobody would give them any candy. They didn't bother comming to my house, because I told them before they even began this hair brained scheme not to bother comming by my place.

Sorry, but I have NO SENSE OF HUMOR when it comes to that type of a "joke."

I like funny costumes. I even like costumes that are on the edge or relevent to the current news.

I saw a little kid last year covered with a white sheet like a ghost. But this kid had glittery shoes, an afro wig, and one glitter glove.

The ghost of Michael Jackson

Bad, but creative. I can't say I would have let my kid go out like that.

I also saw in stores ( for a while before it was pulled) Illegal Alien. It was a green martian with an orange prision jumpsuit on.

Bad taste for around here, because we have a large Hispanic community.

I think your costumes should be created not just by what you want to be, but also keeping in mind who you're going to be around. Kids, Religon, Ethinticity, Race.

Be respectful!!!

In addition to the ideas mentioned in this thread, you could also consider being a Dirty Old Man, that would be a good offensive halloween costume! What you do is you get a good "old geezer" mask at your local halloween store and you wear that and a trench coat. You also of course want to get the "Dirty Old Man Cane" to go with it which can be found at this website http://stores.homestead.com/hstrial-yor ... k?no=88415

A friend of mine once had a similar idea. He chose to be a flasher. He didn't use the cane but he had an old man mask that he used with the trench coat and underneath it he was wearing boxer shorts.

Shanda makes a good point. Be respectful. It's okay to make a joke, as long as you aren't deliberately berating an entire group of people. Now I will grant you, that there are some people who will ge offended no matter what kind of a joke you play, but I think the example sighted in my last post is an example of what you should NEVER do.

Again, when it comes to Halloween, I'm pretty much a traditionalist.

I remember once I went to a school Halloween dance, and a girl dressed up as "suicidal." She had fake blood all over her and fake slit wrists.
Honestly, I don't think people should dress up as something offensive on purpose. It's one thing to try to scare people, it's another thing to dress up as something that's going to make people mad.
Honestly, I find a lot of women's costumes offensive just because they show off too much cleavage. At least the men's costumes are pretty modest in comparison, but a lot of times I think people just care about <deleted> appeal and not the real spirit of Halloween.
There are men's costumes that are offensive in Things you never knew existed magazine however.
Now arguebly speaking, some people just find the whole holiday offensive. But this is usually only religious fanatics who think everything is offensive. It reminds me of this comment my grandma made once. I was joking around saying I had a split personality. She said you can only have a split personality if you're possessed by a demon. o.O That really bothered me.

I have a pretty broad sense of humor. Not much offends me by way of costumes or jokes, but I do find the slutty nun costumes to be kind of offensive. You don't have to belittle someone's religion to make a good joke. I thought the KKK joke was kind of funny, but I can see why people would be upset by it. One Halloween I saw a guy in my neighboorhood in a penis costume. He kept headbutting girls he passed by and he'd yell "YEAH HALLOWEEN!". I thought that was hilarious.
