It's nowhere near October, but one ensemble is already on track to be named the most controversial Halloween costume of 2015.

Social media users were out in full force on Monday criticizing several Halloween retailers for offering a Caitlyn Jenner costume reminiscent of the former-athlete's Vanity Fair cover earlier this year.

While Jenner's supporters condemned the costume as "transphobic" and "disgusting" on Twitter, Spirit Halloween, a retailer that carries the costume, defended the getup.

"At Spirit Halloween, we create a wide range of costumes that are often based upon celebrities, public figures, heroes and superheroes," said Lisa Barr, senior director of marking at Spirit Halloween. "We feel that Caitlyn Jenner is all of the above and that she should be celebrated. The Caitlyn Jenner costume reflects just that."

San Diego Zoo celebrates birth of endangered Baird's tapir

San Diego Zoo celebrates birth of endangered Baird's tapir

The San Diego Zoo announced the birth of a female Baird's tapir, an endangered animal native to Mexico and Central America.

The zoo said the calf, born June 3 to mother Luna, is now on display alongside the facility's capybaras in an enclosure located in the Elephant Odyssey section of the zoo.



"Luna is bonding with her calf by vocalizing to her, licking her and keeping a close eye on her at all times," the zoo said in the announcement. "The calf is starting to get 'zoomies' and likes to mouth and play with leaves and food even if she's not eating it. They spend their time grooming, nursing and laying together."

The birth was hailed as a milestone for conservation efforts for the Baird's tapir, which is listed as Endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species. The animals are threatened by sport hunting in Costa Rica and habitat loss due to farming, cattle grazing, and palm oil and rubber plantations, the zoo said.

His first 4chan thread from Afghanistan was amusing but he's gone all in on the attention seeking behavior and it's really obnoxious. If MrBeast did the exact same shit everyone would be rightly shitting on him. Miles puts himself out for attention, so I'm calling him a faggot.

He's got that reddit syndrome of how he did one funny thing one time and then just kept doing the same bit over and over and over trying to relive it. Like that "you take my breath away" faggot and Keanu Reeves trying to turn one short lived meme into his streaming career. At least Sam Hyde is funny and tries new shit out sometimes.

DONT CARE LOL. It’s funny that he’s going to an uncontacted tribe and saying it’s for the covid vax and that he will kill then all in self defense if he has to.

Simple. As.

Mr. Beast would never do anything close to this because he is SOY.

If he did do this exact thing he would be BASED.

 

[S1apSh0es]

He understands he's going to likely murder all of them by bringing over diseases, right? Not going to be super surprised if the India Navy just blows his ship out of the water.

This is where I stand. He quietly literally can kill the entire population by coughing on him. I mean anyone who’s had 8th grade American history knows how basically every time the Europeans came into contact with a new native population they were decimated by disease. It’s like basically guaranteed.

And if I recall correctly from some reading I’ve done; a white guy visited that island in the 1800’s and introduced a new disease that killed a decent amount.

Not saying I want Miles to be blown up by the Indian Navy or get a spear to the face….. but like…. FAFO.

I’m just sick of this guy in general.

Buckle up guys, I’ve got a lot of shit to post here and I really don’t know where else to post it. Lord Miles, the self-proclaimed “Last Great British Explorer,” has posted a new video declaring that his next journey, after traveling to Orania, South Africa, will be visiting the North Sentinel Island. This is the island full of Bronze Age Pajeets that kill anyone who sets foot there. The island is also guarded 24/7 by the pajeet navy to keep anyone from going there. He posted a video about it:

He has also tweeted a LOT about it, declaring TND. (Total North Sentinelese Death). He has included his plans of survival which include armor that arrows can’t pierce, as well as copious amounts of mace to incapacitate them.

Someone told him that they were going o contact the Indian navy, so he beat them to the punch and contacted them himself to alert them of his plans.

He has also been shitting in Indians (no pun intended) in general.

This on the heels of his trip to Orania where he has done nothing but shit on South Africa and the South African government.

This should get interesting! (Full disclosure: I have not watched the YouTube video. I have just been following along on X).

as much as I'm intensely interested in the Sentinelese people, if this dude wants to kill himself so bad and make money he should just get a GoPro and bike and film himself speeding down the M1. It's a job for actual anthropologists and not clout whores. I think the reason they are so hostile to outsiders is British scholars visited and acted British (read: were pedophiles). If female pajeets can't get close to them, this pasty fucker doesn't stand a chance.

he's also too stupid IMO to do this intelligently and best case scenario everyone on the island dies from a cold.

 

[AnOminous]

ITT: retards worshipping an attention whore.

Anyone remotely familiar with the absolute garbage that passes itself off as "modern society" and blames the Sentinelese for wanting nothing whatsoever to do with "modern society" is literally fucking retarded.

 

[Seija Kijin]

Honestly, hope he records it when the funny tribals put one between his eyes.

 

[The Cheese Aisle]

He might be doing it for attention but without him we don’t have this entertainment source

 

[i440BX]

I don't think it is fair for them to get extinct. Yes, they are dangerous brutes but this guy doing for clout is pretty sad.
I would rather he sends some drones to take pictures than fight with them.

 

[hunter2]

This guy is off his fucking rocker and it's going to end in tragedy... but from a purely lolcow pov this is a breath of fresh air, something different from every second cow being an oversharing pedophilic trans furry sex pest and all the others being deathfats. Needs his own thread otherwise the baby tapir will get buried.

[Dirty Larry]

At this point I’m convinced he’s just trying to kill himself without actually doing it himself

 

[Racist Parrot]

Well this is fantastic. I hope he goes.

 

[Star Spangled Bogger]

The fact that this bozo is telegraphing his intentions on xitter makes me wonder if he's going to be able to even get close to the island let alone be granted entry into any country that is close by.

He will probably be denied entry to India which means he'll need to arrange some real spec-ops shit to get there, which I doubt he can afford, so maybe this is a grift.

If he goes the way of that stupid churchy American cunt who tried to bring Jesus to the island, I hope that it is livestreamed.

Does Starlink have coverage of retard island?

his video has a few minutes straight of him explaining this and what precautions he is going to take to avoid it. he's an idiot but he's not entirely unprepared or unaware of basic consequences

I don't understand why people are so mad about this on KF of all places, it's all funny as fuck.

Or better yet, arrested and just completely forgotten in some Indian jail.

Remember that pigeon that was suspected by some retarded Indian pig as a Chinese spy and only released after nearly a year of detention? That pigeon had it easy compared to what happens to human beings in India. Being arrested and held, often without charge let alone a trial for years is 'normal' there.

The Sentinelese have had physical contact with mainlanders multiple times over the past decades, including several Indian anthropological excursions in the late 20th century and the missionary John Allen Chau about ten years ago, whom they killed and buried. They seem to be doing just fine.

This idea that any indigenous person who comes into contact with a westerner will die immediately of disease is some midwit /r/todayilearned pop history. Yes, it's always a potential risk but (1) they most likely haven't been isolated that long, and (2) the diseases that killed indigenous people in the past centuries have either been eradicated like smallpox, or aren't likely to be a factor here unless Miles is secretly syphilitic. Given his travels it's likely that Miles is actually more vaxxed than the average person.

"OMG HE'S GOING TO LITERALLY KILL THEM LITERALLY" when the far more likely case, assuming this isn't more attention whoring, is that he either ends up in Indian prison because what he is doing is illegal, or on the off chance he manages to bribe a couple of fishermen to take him there, he takes an arrow to the throat from 20 meters the second he sets foot on their shores and is never seen again.

Which is hilarious. Any outcome is funny. (He isn't going to do it anyway btw)
