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."
 
Couldn’t find a Kat Von D thread and didn’t feel like this was “big” enough for its own thread, but look guys! She’s pregnant. And she’s deciding not to vaccinate. What a cunt.88CEEF7B-79CB-43EC-9497-28FF6DED69D3.pngDFD38E9D-E96A-408B-BD73-FB55E29C78B8.png

Home Depot worker attacked by spider monkey in Okeechobee County

OKEECHOBEE, Fla. - A Home Depot worker in Okeechobee County was bitten multiple times after a woman’s pet spider monkey escaped from her truck earlier this week.

The sheriff’s office said they were dispatched to the store, located at 2700 Highway 441 South, on Monday at 1:53 p.m.

The monkey’s owner, Tina Ballard, told a deputy that she left her pet in her truck on a leash while she went inside the store.

However, the spider monkey managed to escape the vehicle, attacking a female employee at the Home Depot.

The worker who was attacked, Marilyn Howard, told a deputy that she was taking a break outside the store when she heard some of her coworkers yelling about a monkey.

According to the deputy’s report, Howard said she first thought it was joke. Later, she then spotted the spider monkey walking down the parking lot toward her with its leash still on.

"I reached down and she (the spider monkey) reached up and grabbed my hand, so gentle, so cute," Howard recalled.

Howard said she approached it and managed to grab it by the leash, but it climbed on her and bit her twice on the back.

The monkey then climbed down off of her, and she was able to grab it by its leash again and started walking it to the front of the store.

Apparently, the monkey wasn’t done with his hijinks.

When the store’s front door opened, Howard said the monkey got scared and attacked her again. This time she was bitten on the arm and hand and also scratched on the left side of her face.

"I cried for the first 24 hours not going to lie, vanity, God forgive me," she said. "But I'm getting over it. It will go away."

Howard refused medical treatment at the scene but told a deputy she would go to the hospital to be evaluated.

The Okeechobee County Sheriff's Office said they contacted local animal control and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission about the incident.

FWC is investigating the case. No charges have been filed at this time.

A Chinese man who had an aubergine stuck in his body claimed that he had inserted the vegetable into his rectum in a bid to cure his constipation.

The large vegetable had apparently moved up along the 50-year-old man's intestines before reaching his upper abdomen, according to the hospital.

Doctors claimed when they found the aubergine, it had nearly reached the patient's heart.

According to Kan Kan News, the man went to the hospital on May 30 - two days after he had put the vegetable into his body.

He said he had been unable to retrieve it by himself.

The 50-year-old claimed to have suffered constipation for four days before he attempted to cure it with the vegetable, also known as an eggplant.

He told the doctors he thought the vegetable could act as a laxative to increase his bowel movement.

However, the eggplant ended up going up along his intestines before getting lodged in his upper abdomen.

The man underwent surgery and had the aubergine removed whole.

The report also claimed that the unnamed man had suffered swelling and pain in his stomach for two days before being admitted into the hospital.

A medical report stated doctors performed a CT scan on the patient.

The examination confirmed that the patient had a foot-long foreign object in the upper abdomen.

An X-ray also showed that the object had got stuck in a diagonal position. The man's lungs were inflamed as a result.

The man is reportedly recovering after the surgery.
 
Talk about a pain in the ass. What made this man think sticking an eggplant up his bum would relieve constipation? What, he expected to stretch his ass out enough?
 
There are lots of smart Chinese, but the culture doesn't really allow for free thought or innovation. This is why they can copy an iPhone but still use weird traditional forms of "medicine."
