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."

Nurses in trouble for opening up body bag to look at dead man's dick

DENVER – Five nurses at Denver Health Medical Center were suspended for three weeks after they inappropriately viewed a deceased patient’s body and talked about it, a hospital spokesman confirmed to Denver7 Investigates Tuesday.

A tip to Denver7 said the nurses disciplined admired the size of the deceased patient’s genitals and at one point opened a body bag to view parts of the body. A hospital spokesman confirmed details of the incident.

A different nurse heard one of the disciplined nurses make a comment in May that the nurse felt was inappropriate and reported it to hospital staff, Denver Health Medical Center spokesman Josh Rasmussen said.

“Multiple staff members viewed the victim while he was incapacitated, including after he was deceased,” a Denver Police report says. “The complainant, Risk Management for Denver Health, made a mandatory report.”

Rasmussen originally said two nurses were disciplined after the internal investigation, but later said five nurses were suspended following the investigation's conclusion.

The report says the incidents occurred between March 31 and April 3, 2017, but weren’t reported until May 8.

Rasmussen said although the nurses received discipline considered “serious,” four nurses ultimately returned to work. One nurse no longer is employed by the hospital, but wasn't terminated. The nurses will have a record of the discipline placed in their personnel files, Rasmussen said.

Denver Police confirm they responded to the incident but say the decision was made to have Denver Health Medical Center handle the issue internally.

"A DPD officer did speak with one of our on-call prosecutors at the time," Ken Lane, communications director for the Denver District Attorney's Office, said. "They determined there was insufficient evidence to prove a crime was committed, no charges were filed, and referred the matter back to Denver Health to handle internally."

Rasmussen said he could not provide the names of the nurses involved. He said the nurses worked in a medical unit of the hospital but did not disclose which unit.
 
Why the fuck does anyone care about this? He was DEEEEEEEEEEEEEAD!

If he somehow had a disembodied existence out of his own body, he would probably be okay with the fact that females were impressed by his penis.

Days after connecting hurricanes to ‘climate change agenda,’ Rush Limbaugh evacuates Florida as Irma closes in

Rushin’ outta Florida.

Only days after talking about how destructive hurricanes were overhyped and emboldened climate change proponents, conservative pundit Rush Limbaugh has said he’s evacuating his Palm Beach, Fla. home.

As Category 4-strength Hurricane Irma inches closer to southern Florida, the commentator said on his program Thursday, “May as well announce this. I’m not going to get into details because of the security nature of things, but it turns out that we will not be able to do the program here tomorrow. We’ll be on the air next week, folks, from parts unknown.”

According to The Hill, fellow conservative commentator and author Mark Steyn will fill in for Limbaugh.

The evacuation comes after Limbaugh told his listeners that the frenzy surrounding a hurricane is often a ploy to boost ratings for the media and drive sales for retailers.

He qualified the statement by adding that he’s “not a meteorologist” and that the messages he’s spouted don’t comprise a “forecast.”

He added, “There is a desire to advance this climate change agenda, and hurricanes are one of the fastest and best ways to do it. You can accomplish a lot just by creating fear and panic... All you need is to create the fear and panic accompanied by talk that climate change is causing hurricanes to become more frequent and bigger and more dangerous, and you create panic, and it’s mission accomplished, agenda advanced.”


Limbaugh said it boils down to money, of course, and that there is a “symbiotic relationship” between retailers and local media.

Once TV stations begin reporting on a storm, residents are driven to retailers to prepare, and so on, he said.

NBC meteorologist Al Roker leveled harsh criticism at Limbaugh for his comments, and the latter ultimately said on his radio program that Irma was “dire” and “mammoth,” according to The Hill.

He added on Thursday that the effects from the storm will “be damaging.”

He also said that it would be legally impossible for him to broadcast from his location, suggesting that he may be under a mandatory evacuation.

:lol:

So it's all one big liberal conspiracy until your house is about to be flooded and smashed to bits by a catastrophic hurricane. I guess all those people in the Bahamas aren't really dead or homeless because of mother nature. It's all just a big conspiracy to push the liberal climate change agenda. Hilarious that he does a 180 as soon as he realises that this is real and he could die. I hope he didn't convince any of his idiot bobble headed fans in Florida to not take precautions because hurricanes are just a conspiracy. There's a reason why my grandfather called this guy Rush Slimeball and said that we should dig a huge pit and throw him in.
