II hero girl'. ANNE FRANK,with a tag hanging from her shoulder, possibly a relocation tag. Go to the aforementioned sites and look at how low some people are who would make $$ off of a young girl who was among the six million who were murdered.WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE HUMAN RACE?    Posted:   Oct 18, 2017 - 6:31 PM     By:   Justin Boggan   (Member) Oh, every year there's one that's offensive for some reason. The Ebola costume, when people were dying from ebola years ago. The mother who dressed her kid up as a KKK member. She defended it. The KKK, of all people, didn't like it. Go figure; I guess it's only okay to teach your kids to hate people based on their skin color and say racist things, just not dressed up like a KKK member. I bet you right now we can find Hitler costumes for sale online.    Posted:   Oct 18, 2017 - 6:50 PM     By:   ZapBrannigan   (Member) In yesterday's, (10/17) Washington Post, and The BBC News, (online) there are articles with photos of a 'European W.W.

I suspect that the intended money to be made was never going to be from selling the costume. The idea was to incite widespread Internet blowback and thus generate tons of clicks for their website from curious onlookers. Advertisers pay by the click (site visit). With a no-sale product like the Anne Frank costume, that's where the money is.    Posted:   Oct 18, 2017 - 8:25 PM     By:   Last Child   (Member) In yesterday's, (10/17) Washington Post, and The BBC News, (online) there are articles with photos of a 'European W.W.

Someone in marketing probably confused 6 million dead men with 6 million dollar man. While its totally heinous, it's hard to be surprised in a "free market economy" where everything is a commodity. The only surprise is how Anne Frank could be "trending" so much that some algorithm predicted a need for a costume. Are modern refugees sparking nostalgia for European refugee days? Or perhaps the manufacturer was trying to remind Europeans that they too were once refugees.    Posted:   Oct 19, 2017 - 12:30 PM     By:   jackfu   (Member) I remember some years ago the "Pedophile Priest" Halloween costumes, with bonus attached boy that seemed quite popular but I don't recall much in the way of outcry about them. I guess one person's concept of offensive may be another's defense of free speech and humor. It would seem that some things should be universally offensive. Does anyone remember "cruelty jokes", jokes about the Challenger explosion, Michael Jackson and young boys, Cuban refugees, etc.? Humans sometimes find humor in sick ways, don't we?    Posted:   Oct 19, 2017 - 2:22 PM     By:   Last Child   (Member) Sometimes it's just a reaffirmation of life, like people who hook up at funerals. Mocking the dead might be an unconscious way to mock death itself (which always has the last laugh). However, someone I know derisively said about a suicide, "Took the coward's way out" which I thought was pretty callous.    Posted:   Oct 19, 2017 - 2:59 PM     By:   jenkwombat   (Member) ...derisively said about a suicide, "Took the coward's way out" which I thought was pretty callous. I hate it when someone says that, as if they have any clue how depressed and/or despondent the person was.    Posted:   Oct 20, 2017 - 8:00 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) Sometimes it's just a reaffirmation of life, like people who hook up at funerals.

I hate it when someone says that, as if they have any clue how depressed and/or despondent the person was. When someone takes their own life it's clearly a sign of desperation. I'm not just talking about people with chronic physical pain. Emotional pain and depression can be unbearing. Sometimes it's short term depression and it's something they could've gotten over, other times I think it's chronic and it releases them from a living hell.    Posted:   Oct 20, 2017 - 8:35 AM     By:   Last Child   (Member) Sometimes it's just a reaffirmation of life, like people who hook up at funerals.

Han's funeral. Oops, spoiler. Although it's barely a spoiler compared to divulging why Kylo is so screwed up and angry - because he knows he's the illegitimate child from Luke and Leia's incestuous encounter. Now there's a spoiler. Oops, did it again.    Posted:   Oct 20, 2017 - 9:05 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) What's that film where two people are dressed as the twin towers? That must surely be one of the most offensive Halloween costumes ever.    Posted:   Oct 20, 2017 - 10:30 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) As a kid your innocent and don't realize what is play and fantasy to you can actually be real and horrific in the real world. Is dressing up as a slasher any less offensive? I dunno. I find the whole thing kinda weird nowadays. Everything is offensive. I mean you can't even dress up in traditional gard without offending some group.     Non-Film Score Discussion: Most Offensive Halloween Costume EVER.    < 1  >   Go to page:  1   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1
