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."

Are llamas as nasty as camels? I've only been around camels. But they were surprisingly nice. Guess I got a good batch.

Alpacas are cuter than llamas and are supposed to have better temperaments.

Blind woman sues Kylie Jenner's makeup company because the site isn't blind friendly.

1213-kylie-jenner-kylie-cosmetics-2.jpg


Kylie Jenner needs to get on the horn to her IT guys to update her website ASAP because, as it stands, her blind customers are getting screwed ... according to a new lawsuit.

Antoinette Suchenko says she's been legally blind for more than 20 years, and uses screen reader software to navigate the Internet -- but in the suit she says Kylie's cosmetics site isn't compatible. As a result, she's having a hard time bagging any of Kylie's uber-popular makeup products.

She's not looking for any cash -- Antoinette says she just wants Kylie's site to get up to standards required by the Americans with Disabilities Act. She says doing so will be a major W for Kylie's bottom line ... sales. She's suing Kylie Inc., not KJ herself.

As we reported, a similar suit was filed last year, by someone else, against the DASH Store's website.

Oh my God... Those lips.:cryblood:

I wanted to laugh at this story but it's actually a clusterfuck on PC. So many websites are made for screen tapping mobile users. I went to the site and it was ridiculous getting through the products. Everything is huge and clunky looking. I'm not surprised that a screen reader won't work on it correctly.

But like with the Dash lawsuit last year, I would imagine that money might actually be the goal. Normally I'd think that's a dick move. But these are Kartrashians so I don't care.:lol:

Telling us what we already knew, Chek news. The provincial average of alcohol consumed is 9.4 litres (1 L = about a quart), and Vancouver Islanders consumed 11.51 L.

No wonder this province has so many damn speds. Fucking fetal alcohol syndrome...

'Very strange': Perth Christmas shoppers interrupted by Islamaphobic Santa

Christmas shoppers were left shocked and appalled following a distasteful stunt by a right-wing political group at an upmarket Perth shopping centre on Tuesday morning.

Three women dressed in sheer burqas and a man in a full Santa Claus costume from the Australian Liberty Alliance political party marched through Floreat Forum singing Islamaphobic Christmas carols.

The 'Taliban Tarts' took over the Santa photo section at the shopping centre just before 10am, and left shoppers stunned.

A witness told WAtoday the display was inappropriate considering the number of children in the shopping centre given the school holidays.

"I was in the chemist adjacent to where they have the Father Christmas set-up," she said.

"All of a sudden there was this outlandish singing to the tune of jingle bells.

"One of the ladies in the shop heard the word 'jihad', and repeated it. We didn't know what was going on.

"It took me half-a-minute to get out of the shop and when I got out, these three women were dressed in black top-to-toe, and their outfits were quite sheer. You could see they had little black shorts on underneath.

"I thought it was terrible. They just took over the Father Christmas area and did this all of their own accord.

"They did their bit and everyone just stood with their mouths open. The whole thing lasted for around two to three minutes, and it wasn't very amusing."

The group's lyrics were detailed in a flyer distributed at the centre entrance.

Centre management confirmed there had been a complaint regarding the 'Taliban Tarts', and it is unclear if this was a one-off display.

In its description, the political party indicated its manifesto:

"Our Australia stands for individual liberty, small government, Western values, social fairness and an integrated multi-ethnic society.

"Our Australia has no place for big government, racism, moral relativism, Islamisation, divisive multiculturalism or tolerance for the intolerant.

"Migrants do not dream of a new life in Australia because we are a socialist, Islamic or tribal society. Migrants come for the freedom, justice and prosperity only Western civilisation creates."

However, the witness disagreed with the group's impact at the Forum.

"It's just not very clever, and it was very strange."

Floreat Forum has been contacted for comment.

Deadly attack on Methodist church in Pakistan
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-42383436
A suicide bomb and gun attack on a Methodist church in Pakistan has killed at least eight people, officials say.

Militants stormed the church, which was packed with worshippers at the time, in the city of Quetta, some 65km (40 miles) from the Afghan border.

The Islamic State group has said it carried out the attack.

Two suicide bombers were stopped at the entrance to the church, Sarfraz Bugti, the Balochistan region's home minister, said.

Had the men got any further, there could have been hundreds of casualties, he added.

God Forbid, if the terrorists had succeeded in their plans more than 400 precious lives would have been at stake.
— Sarfraz Bugti (@PakSarfrazbugti)​

One of the men detonated his bomb vest and the other was stopped in a gunfight with police.

Two more attackers fled and a search operation is under way, according to reports.

Dozens of people are known to have been wounded in the attack, which took place during a Sunday service at Bethel Memorial Methodist Church.

A witness told the BBC that several children attending Sunday school had taken shelter while firing continued around them.

A spokesman for the foreign affairs ministry, Dr Mohammed Faisal, condemned the attack.

Attack of terrorists on Zarghoon road church in Quetta is condemned. Pakistan’s resolve against terrorism cannot be deterred by these cowardly acts.​
Attacks in the mainly Sunni Muslim region are not uncommon, often targeting the Hazara Shia Muslim community in suicide bombings.
But Pakistan's Christian minority has also frequently been the subject of militant attacks, and guards had been placed near the church in Quetta as a result.

The article was saying that over 250,000 people go through there daily, and it’s a big international hub too. So many flights are going to be delayed or diverted from this.

Yeah, but if he went through the trouble of getting trademarks he obviously thinks it might work better for him this time. The NFL has been losing ratings for several seasons now, if anyone was going to try and start up a new professional league now is the time to do so.

I suppose if there was ever a time to do it, it would be now. In fact, I'm pretty sure all he'd have to do is air a commercial with an anthem kneeler getting bodyslammed to get some notoriety.
