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."

What a waste of perfectly good peanut butter.

Dude wtf....

 

[Jaiman]

The thread topic on its own is already fucked up. I regret reading the article.

 

[melty]

I'd like to preface this by saying I like the idea of tearing dog's legs off...?

 

[skaytec]

You must be a fucking sicko if you do this to the most faithful animal on earth. Poor dog, I hope it's going to stay with a nice owner after this.

 

[melty]

Obviously, it's the woman's fault that this happened

 

[Intelligent Calcium]

The guy is clearly a psycho, but I don't get why the thread title has to be so clickbaity. He didn't tear the dog's leg off, he threw it against a wall and its leg had to be amputated.

That makes more sense...you'd have to be the Hulk to have the title make sense.

Every time I read about Animal Cruelty I get a brief flash of some primal part of the brain that wants to implement the code of Hammurabi just for these sick fucks.

I feel nothing. Am I dead inside?

This is why those who live with exceptionals of any kind should not be allowed to have dogs. And also the dog breeder should be required to train the dog to be housebroken upon being bought. It is a sad trend that dogs get sold too young and the owner can't take care of them properly.

I hate mice and always appreciate the effort spiders put to getting rid of pests.

 

[Male Idiot]

Well Australia is full of nasty critters. But it also has a mouse problem so I'm sure if this works out. If not, they may need bigger newspapers.

 

[Ineedahero]

Well Australia is full of nasty critters.

Except for Tasmania, the British took care of their nasty critters right from the start.
