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."

Paris opens its first nudist restaurant https://pjmedia.com/lifestyle/anyone-want-paris-opens-first-nudist-restaurant/
Apparently, O’Naturel is not the first nudist restaurant. Similar restaurants can also be found in London and Tokyo and all of them are very popular. Has the world gone mad? I don’t even want to be seen in public in my bathing suit let alone totally naked! It’s like some sort of deranged locker room. Except, instead of everyone trying to get dressed as fast as possible so no one sees their private bits, everyone’s that one guy who keeps randomly walking back and forth in front of the benches with his towel around his neck scratching his sweaty beer belly.

I want everyone to stop and think how many layers of beauracracy an advertisement needs to go through before it's approved. Possibly a dozen people all independently looked at this and went "yeah this is a good idea".

Hey, everyone loves sausage rolls!
 
At first I was sort of baffled because I didn't even think the U.K. was that anal about this kind of shit. After reading the article, it's pretty clear it was the religious right abroad, meaning here, up in arms about it, especially when it says that the UK Evangelical Alliance is "not too outraged" and this is a top article trailing the aforementioned. I suppose it's good from a sense of humor perspective, but also unsettling considering how cucked the U.K. is with Islamists who would try and kill somebody doing this with Mohamed or something.

Wool you get out?! A sheepdog puppy herds a flock of sheep into farmer's home.
Seven-month-old Rocky was so enthusiastic to get started in his role he shepherded nine sheep through an open gate and into his owner's home.

The flock caused chaos as they left mess everywhere during the home invasion and stunned the puppy's owner Rosalyn Edwards. The 40-year-old said she had been working in the kitchen on October 25 when she heard some noise. The mum-of-three turned around to be greeted by the woolly animals - which had been brought into the kitchen by Rocky.

Rosalyn, from Devon, said: “I thought it was funny at the time, but then there was quite a lot of wee, poo and mud everywhere. It took me a little while to clean it all up."
“My son and husband had gone out into the field, and the gate was left open. Rocky got them out and led them to the house. I was in the kitchen and heard a noise. I turned around and the sheep were just standing there. There were about nine of them. I took the children into another room and then tried to guide the sheep out. They went right around from the kitchen and left again through the porch.”

Rosalyn recorded herself trying to shoo the sheep out from her house as they huddle together looking a bit confused. Eventually they made an exit through the porch at the front of the house, but not before trampling poo through the home. She added: “Rocky did look quite pleased with himself, but he's going to need more training.

“He brought a whole new meaning to 'bringing the sheep home. This is the first time he's done something like this. He's been out with the sheep before but this time the gate was open. The kids thought it was quite funny, too.

“Friends and family have all had the same sort of reaction. Everyone's been saying they can't believe they were in the house.”

A creative naval pilot drew a unique picture in the sky above Washington state, Thursday.
A naval pilot showed off questionable creative flair, Thursday, in the sky above Omak, Wash.

Residents of Okanogan County witnessed a phallic air show as the pilot drew a massive penis.

“So I guess someone had enough money and time to draw a dick in the sky with an airplane today,” James Farmer wrote on Twitter.

Spokane's KREM 2 TV news reported Whidbey Island Naval Air Station confirmed one of its pilots was responsible for the phallus in the sky.

"The navy holds its aircrew to the highest standards, and we find this absolutely unacceptable, of zero training value and we are holding the crew accountable,” a navy official told the station.

While some were upset about the image, others were impressed.

“The most monumental thing to happen in Omak,” wrote Anahi Torres on Twitter. “A penis in the sky.”

So the navy currently holds the high score for the favorite military pastime of drawing dicks.
