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."

Tbh I'm sure that the likelihood of the coppers showing up on their doorstep never occurred to any of them. This could indeed be because of genuine stupidity and apathy on their part, but I'll lay money on the crime being something that the local bacon usually pretends didn't happen. Unfortunately for the overcompensating closeted faggots, it's impossible for anyone to pretend that something didn't happen if it ends up on the internet. I doubt that this occurred to them, however. I just hope none of the neighbours' children weren't there to see this, but I'm cynical enough to realise that they were brought there by their parents specifically to watch.

I fucking hate people, have I ever mentioned that?

Another day, another fake hate crime.

A 21-year-old Michigan woman pleaded guilty Monday to fabricating a “hate crime” in which an unknown white male approached her and slashed her face with a safety-pin, local news outlets are reporting.

University of Michigan student Halley Bass admitted she scratched her own face with a pin after becoming frightened by a classroom discussion in her women’s literature class.

“I had been in a discussion in my women’s lit weirdly and there were a few people in my class that sort of said some things that scared me,” Bass said. She claims she was “suffering from depression at the time.”

Gang beatup suspects are usually not smart people at all. Mind, these brownies do take the cake in stupid.

Nobody but absolutely exceptional individuals are still using that unironically and probably over half the people currently using it are actually Jews being sarcastic.

I use it to imply whispering, but never that someone is Jewish... "My friend ate all my cake ((she's a fatso.))" I vaguely recall that years ago it just meant whispering something... Maybe I dreamed that up. Why do retards always have to ruin things. :/

Old ass news, but http://www.emol.com/noticias/intern...canos-se-pelean-con-pistolas-y-cuchillos.html

A Mexican couple is recovering separately from their wounds after a fight involving pistols, knife-throwing, and homemade gasoline bombs in a domestic fight that went out of control, said the Mexican newspaper Milenio.

In scenes that follow the romantic comedy "Mr and Mrs Smith," played by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Juan Espinosa and Irma Contreras fought until their house exploded from a homemade gasoline bomb, said Milenio.

Police arrested Espinosa in his house in the indigenous Mayan city Oxkutzcab, in the southern state of Yucatán. Contreras went to the hospital for third-degree burns.

The local police confirmed the report but did not want to give major details.

[...]

Espinosa said to news agents that he was happy his wife suffered burns, while Contreras lamented that she did not "hack off his manhood" during the fight.

So maybe Mexican soap operas are actually documentaries
