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."

Lindsay Lohan uploaded an awkward video of herself on Instagram trying to house Syrian refugees on the street and trying to lure the children into a hotel. It went very badly.

The Instagram Live video, which was uploaded on Saturday night, shows Lohan repeatedly making the offer before following the family of four, whom Lohan describes as Syrian, down the street, saying, “I won’t leave until I take you. Now I know who you are. Don’t fuck with me.”

What the fuck is up with that fake accent? Also holy shit at that smoker's voice. Bitch sounds like she's 30 years older. I know she's Muslim now but the fake accent is so fucking weird.

At least she did more than fellow wastrel Lily Allen.
 
I'm a couple pages off from the last here but if I remember right there was a place showcased on the PBS special American Eats and they put their french fries into their corned beef sandwiches and aren't there varieties of po' boys that have fries in them?

Yeah the USA has a few sammiches with fries, like Checkers/Rallys has one of their cheaper burgers as the "Fry Lover's Burger" which is basically a regular cheeseburger with some fries on it. I like them because I get tired of fries pretty quickly.
 
I think also there were some places that do Chicago style dogs and they put fries in the bun as well just saying. Checkers/Rallys does make some mean fries too bad the few that are in the vicinity of where I live are pretty deep in the ghetto.

In Skelleftea, a major industrial and mining town in northern Sweden, another church has been vandalised. Threats of jihad and death were spray-painted on its walls. This is by no means the first incident of Islamic Christophobia in Skelleftea.

Church of Sweden Communicator P-O Sjödin, however, brushed off the incident as ‘innocent’ vandalism. ‘I do not interpret the message in any way, but I hope and believe it’s a common doodle . . . We hope and believe that this is a prank.’

The police, according to local newspapers, are aware of the incident. They state that they are particularly concerned about continued hate attacks against Christian churches.

The mainstream media are less concerned. The continuing anti-Christian vandalism has been absent from almost all Swedish MSM. This is par for the course: in Sweden any mention of Muslim criminality, especially anti-Christian violence, is taboo.

After pressure from the people of Skelleftea, the Church of Sweden and Swedish radio eventually mentioned the vandalism. They did not, however, identify which church was targeted or spell out the explicit anti-Christian nature of the graffiti.

Communicator Sjödin claimed that the church had not commented on the attack in the hope that it would just blow over. According to him, the perpetrators were merely ‘rascals’. Instead of treating this as a case of religious hatred, as it would be if a mosque were attacked, Sjödin tried to dismiss it as youthful high jinks.

He admitted that this was not the first church to be attacked. Earlier this year, St Olov’s in Skelleftea was vandalised with the word ‘Jihad’ spray-painted on the walls. Photos were initially published by the Swedish national broadcaster SVT after residents expressed their outrage. The images were quickly taken down on the grounds that they were ‘too sensitive’ to be shown.

Swedish social media users immediately began competing in sarcasm over the media coverage of the incident.

‘Sure, you know how SVT are at pains not to show off every swastika they manage to find,’ one user tweeted, mocking the broadcaster’s perceived Left-wing bias.

Another suggested that the culprit was a local man who merely intended to write ‘Ji had int tid’ (‘I had no time’ in the dialect).

Swedes, especially Christians, remain on edge as their new Muslim neighbours who refuse to assimilate continue to get a pass on hateful behaviour, and the Swedish media continues to cover it up.

Tino Sanandaji, a researcher at Stockholm’s Institute for Economic and Business History Research, wrote in Politico: ‘Exposing negative statistics about immigration sparked angry accusations of bigotry. Establishment voices shied away from the topic for fear of being accused as racist. Opposition to immigration became off-limits within all establishment parties, and Swedish policy gradually moved toward open borders.’

Sweden is learning that ignoring a problem merely helps it grow bigger.

Sweden Yes!

The thing that gets me the most about this is the sheer ostriching and denialism from the Swedish authorities and media about all this.

I wonder if there is a Swedish version of this tale:
A Man took up a Snake stiffened with frost, and warmed her in his bosom, being compassionate to his own undoing; for when she had recovered, she instantly killed the Man. On another one asking her the reason of this crime, she made answer: “That people may learn not to assist the wicked."

Here's another good one.
ONE WINTER a Farmer found a Snake stiff and frozen with cold. He had compassion on it, and taking it up, placed it in his bosom. The Snake was quickly revived by the warmth, and resuming its natural instincts, bit its benefactor, inflicting on him a mortal wound. 'Oh,' cried the Farmer with his last breath, 'I am rightly served for pitying a scoundrel.'
The greatest kindness will not bind the ungrateful.

Getting old school:
A Countryman happn’d in a hard Winter to spy a Snake under a Hedge, that was half frozen to Death. The Man was good-natur’d, and took it up, and kept it in his Bosom, till Warmth brought it to Life again; and so soon as ever it was in condition to do mischief, it bit the very Man that sav’d the Life on’t. Ah thou ungrateful Wretch! Says he, Is that venomous Ill-Nature of thine to be satisfy’d with nothing less that the Ruin of thy Preserver?
THE MORAL There are some Men like some Snakes; ‘Tis natural to them to be doing mischief; and the greater the Benefit on the one side, the more implacable the Malice on the other.

The risk of being progressive is twofold; first you chance throwing out all the good lessons in your haste to dispose of the antique, and secondly you often fail to realize that others have not progressed.

Here the Swedes have forgotten elementary caution and assumed the savage religious zealots they imported were as liberal and kind as they.

I remember that story. I think I first heard it told by Woody Harrelson in Natural Born Killers.

Well the Swedes felt sorry for the poor little snakes and this is what they get. And now every time they get bit they keep making excuses.

Yeah, it's just some youthful hijinks. It's Wally and the Beaver. No need to fear that you will be run out of your own country by the rapefugees you let in. The ones that refuse to assimilate and immediately started to take over as soon as they saw there could stay.

You could just start deporting people for this kind of thing. But that's islamophobic and we can't have that.
