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."
 
People are licking ice cream and then putting it back on the shelf for this viral challenge


It’s just as gross as it sounds.

In a disgusting new trend, people of the internet are licking ice cream in grocery stores and then putting it back on the shelf.

It all started with a video that went viral this week showing a woman opening a tub of Blue Bell ice cream, licking it, and putting it back in the freezer.

⁦@ILoveBlueBell⁩ look at this heights of nastiness from this gal. Please start putting a plastic over the ice cream, so we can know if was tampered with. 🤢🤮 #bluebell #icecream #nastygal pic.twitter.com/LBchBb7OO2

According to WLBT, Blue Bell is working with law enforcement, retail stores, and social media platforms to find the woman in the video and hold her accountable for food tampering, which is a felony in some states.

Blue Bell issued a statement on its website.

“We want to thank our consumers for alerting us to the incident this past weekend of a video posted to social media showing a Blue Bell item being tampered with,” the statement said. “We take this issue very seriously and are currently working with law enforcement, retail partners and social media platforms. This type of incident will not be tolerated.”

Blue Bell also addressed why it does not use plastic to seal ice cream.

“During production, our half gallons are flipped upside down and sent to a hardening room where the ice cream freezes to the lid creating a natural seal,” according to the statement. “The lids are frozen tightly to the carton. Any attempt at opening the product should be noticeable.”

Unfortunately, the woman’s stunt trigged a chain reaction with others participating in the “challenge.” Twitter user @GAYSHAWNMENDES posted a video of himself participating.

@GAYSHAWNMENDES later posted a video of police speaking with him and later Tweeted, “Just left the police station. Too much clout to care.”

Another video surfaced of a different woman licking ice cream, although it did not appear to be Blue Bell ice cream. The woman, @shelley_golden on Instagram, later said she bought the ice cream she licked.

The challenge is spreading to other products, too. One Twitter user swished mouth wash and then spit it back in the bottle.

Moral of the story? People are gross.

Update, 12:05pm CT, July 5: Lufkin Police told USA Today that this could amount to charges of food tampering in Texas—the Blue Bell ice cream licker may soon be charged with a felony.

These people that follow "challenges" are so retarded. I wonder why someone hasn't made a social media "challenge" that might risk the lives of it's responders?
 

"It’s definitely tough. But it is what it is. It’s like anything in my life. If you read the book you’ll be like, ‘Haha transitioning from Disney to this was fucking easy.’ I don’t know. Getting molested from when your six to your fourteen seems like way harder circumstances. You’re being physically abused all the time. Seems like a much more difficult situation than fucking having paparazzi following you since you were twelve. Um, I don’t know. I was still being molested when paparazzi were still fucking following me. So it’s pretty hard in my mind to think of these big flashlight photographs, and everyone thinking they know me and talking about me, but having no idea the type of mistreatment that I was still dealing with at that time. That everyone around me saw and did nothing. So, I don’t know you tell me what’s so hard. ‘Cause that to me, way harder than any of this other shit I deal with on a daily basis.”

 
I wonder how high up in the company these pedophiles are? Brian Peck, Stoney Westmoreland, Jon Heely, etc. I bet we'll never find out the organizer of the Disney pedo ring (whose probably involved in other Hollywood pedo rings) until the fucker croaks, and then we'll have our very own American Jimmy Savile.

Looking into the stories what struck me as odd is Brian Peck was hired by Disney AFTER he admitted in court he sexually abused children:
Peck was originally charged with 11 counts including: lewd act upon a child; sodomy of a person under 16; attempted sodomy of a person under 16; sexual penetration by foreign object; four counts of oral copulation of a person under 16; oral copulation by anesthesia or controlled substance; sending harmful matter; and using a minor for sex acts.

In the end he pleaded 'no contest' to two counts - lewd act against a child and oral copulation - and the court found him guilty of both. The remaining counts were dismissed.
 
If they want any of these accusations to stick, all of these former D*sney child stars should go full "D-Day" on The Mouse... otherwise, as much as people care about child abuse, it just doesn't make any difference.
Bugs did nothing wrong. He was just looking for his carrot.
Interesting point, really. The Mouse is pretty much on par with the Catholic Church, but The Bunny seems to be somewhat unaffected by all this.

You mean Disney wouldn't hire a convicted pedophile? :optimistic:

So from what I understand she didn't name anyone specific and didn't talk to the police.
While I don't doubt that Disney is full of pedos, I can't trust allegations like these.

Sounds more like she wants to make headlines again after everyone forgot that she even existed.

That's what I'm saying. They should all gang up together and go full D-Day on The Mouse, naming names, locations, etc. Otherwise it falls on deaf ears.

In these cases it's best to cast a wide net.

If you're giving money to Hollywood, you're supporting pedophilia.
