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."

You got an article from a UK based site. And we all know the UK is run by liberal cucks. So what is the truth, Mr. Pence?

Some of the best people I know are British.

You need to meet more ppl.

How could Australians let things get this bad though? It's like they don't even care about the reef at all. Are they even allowed on this board? Seems like increasingly more and more forums are wising up and banning Australians altogether

 

[The Lawgiver]

This is the longest most hate filled rant about a socially awkward guy on the subway ever.
The bitch just left the dude hanging. That's fucking cold. Like even if it was Hitler asking for a high five you wouldn't leave him hanging. He wouldn't leave you hanging if you offered, even Hitler had enough social awareness to know that.

Hitler jokes aside this is exactly like that comic everyone posts about Chris. You know the one.

We're in the midst of a new mass extinction event. This is yet another sign of that.

I wish they'd fix his eyebrows. They look terrible.

That's why you never bleach down under.

tbf it really sucks when mongaloids approach you in public and irritate you

i hope he does get tracked down and bashed by white knight vigilantes

Lives in Australia, wants autistics to get beat up for high fives. Is @Dynastia Clementine Ford? All signs point to yes.

Maybe we should send the troons his way for some tricks and advice on how to look female, as opposed to being ugly men in dresses. He's a he, but he still passes as a she a metric fuckton better than what they do.

Yup, he'd make a cute tranny.

Meh, we had a good run.

it was Harvey Weinstein, wasn't it?

Lol, more like we ARE a mass extinction event.

 

[glass_houses]

Lol, more like we ARE a mass extinction event.

Aside from us expanding exponentially and destroying and consuming our limited food and water supplies, it's ultimately irrelevant. It's only a matter of time before rising ocean temperatures stop the Gulfstream, and irreversibly fuck up the sea and therefore the weather entirely and we find ourselves in our own mass extinction because we are incapable of growing or harvesting enough to feed us all. And even if we do manage to quickly find a way that will keep a majority of us alive in the short term, in the long term pretty much everything alive is still fucked. Lake Toba, a supervolcano whosr eruption is generally blamed for a massive extinction event around about the time anatomically modern humans arrived, shows subtle but frightening signs that it's not quite extinct itself. And Yellowstone is very, very twitchy.

So yeah, fuck the panda (which would be going extinct right now even without out help as it's evolved into a hypersensitive dead end) and let's party.

 

[Male Idiot]

At the rate technology is advancing now, I find a human extinction almost impossible. Surely some population could be trimmed out, but I'm pretty sure millions would survive to carry on. We only need to last a few more decades or at worst centuries to get to fusion power and ta da, we'll be propably safe until the sun goes boom.

Lol I hope they enjoy their malaria (more than than they already do, anyway)

Ahaha, I like how they say "we can black magic a dude to death!" and someone said "No... you can't", and they made him apologize. Oh, and rehashing the old Newton apple cliche, wonderful.

I like Adam Carolla's stance on goofy nonsense like this:

This "hurr were all fuked y bother" attitude is what got us here in the first place. If you want to be lazy or hedonistic, at least own up to it and throw out the shallow philosophy.

:autism:Joke.:autism: Calm down, princess. I actually studied enviro science, so I do think I'm qualified to make shitty jokes.

Not joking about the pandas though. They're cute but doomed. All it'll take is one virulent pathogen to attack the bamboo groves for a couple of years, and the entire panda population will go extinct.

About time.

And nothing of value was lost.

Next stop: Polar Bears.

Yeah, no, I can't agree with the polar bears. I'm not sure if they count definitively as a keystone species because there are other predators up there, just not as big as they are, but they are most definitely important.
