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."

Anyone dying at 47 is always sad.
I remember watching Alexis films with subtitles when I was first learning English, and at the time, he came across as somewhat of a badboy/hearthrob type.

Incidentally if you hate those shitty overlay ads, which for some reason most adblockers don't touch, there's a Chrome extension for that: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/behindtheoverlay/ljipkdpcjbmhkdjjmbbaggebcednbbme?hl=en

Hillary is really clutching at straws trying to attack Trump.

It's a new dumb may may created for people who don't understand the Internet, maybe by people who also don't understand the Internet, but just as likely by flat out liars.

Pretty standard tabloid fare, but I figure someone here might get a kick out of it.

Officials at an Australian boarding school publicly apologized after one of their students showed up to a book week event dressed as Adolf Hitler.

As if that wasn't disastrous enough, the Nazi-clad St. Philip’s College student was named among the event's "best dressed" — and got up on stage to show off his offensive costume before a group of Jewish exchange students. [source]
