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."

22 couples who both have mental illnesses confess what their relationships are really like
While the topic of mental health has gained traction over the years, having a mental illness remains one of the more difficult facets of a person’s being. This is why it’s so refreshing to read all the confessions from couples who both have mental illness. It shows how two people can come together from completely separate lives—sometimes different disorders—and still be there for one another. Having suffered from a plethora of diagnosis’ myself, I know how hard it is to open up to anyone. There’s always a fear that in being myself, my partner will reject the pieces connected to my suicidal tendencies, depression, anxiety, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. In essence, he’ll reject me.

According the the National Alliance of Mental Illness, 1 in 5 adults suffers from some type of mental illness in any given year, while 1 in 5 youths, aged 13-18, also experience a mental illness at some point in their lives. Half of the “lucky” ones who get to deal with it for life (me), will experience the onset of symptoms by the mere age of 14. Are you kidding?! If you think about it, that’s a lot of people silently crying out for help—some of those not out of middle school. I was one of those stats suffering Anxiety Disorder and various mental illnesses as a child, into my teens, and throughout adulthood. In fact, I still struggle with managing my disorders some days, and will forever.

Regardless of medications and specialized therapies, it can be a lonely journey so, for me, having a partner who gets it, gets me, is more than helpful—it’s essential. With that said, these confessions from couples who get it—who know what it’s like to be in each other’s shoes—are inspiring down to the very core. If you’re in a relationship where both of you struggle with mental health, be each other’s rock. It may make all the difference in the world between feeling supported and feeling alone.

Fart sparks fire during surgery in Japan

They're always on the cutting edge of weird and obscure...

"When the patient's intestinal gas leaked into the space of the operation (room), it ignited with the irradiation of the laser, and the burning spread, eventually reaching the surgical drape and causing the fire," the report said.
Fancy words for a preventable fire
 
#Fartlivesmatter

I wonder how gassy was she so that the legs got burnt, I mean fuck that's some epic farting skills.

IDEK, mang. If it makes you feel better... I think it's a spoof of the crazy lengths crazy Christians go to dissuade anyone from having any fun, anywhere, ever.

I did a little research on this: this video is the last of three of this incident. Since Koali Fikator (the person behind the camera) is going into damage control mode I'll link to some mirrors of all three.
The original description for the first video...

...the second...

...and the third.

Fikator was apparently surprised when most responses were calling him and the crowd scumbags for bullying a poor person instead of praising their putting that Trump supporter in her place.
He tried a few times to defend himself and the others in the crowd, but the commenters were not buying his nonsense:

Seeing his narrative crumble before his eyes was too much for Fikator, so he disable comments on the videos and replaced the descriptions with this...
TL;DR some punk thinks he'll be praised for showing a Trump supporter 'getting what she deserves,' instead gets torn a new one by his viewers.

There may be hope for this world, after all. :optimistic:

third video got taken down, I'll look for a mirror link
