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."

Idaho wolves.

Environmental groups are nowhere near as coherent in their advocacy as you think.

Wolves aren't invasive in Idaho. Until they were eradicated in the 1930s, wolves had lived there more or less forever. And of course their reintroduction into Yellowstone (which was only partially a "reintroduction" since the wolves were making it back on their own) has been miraculous in terms of how much it has helped the Yellowstone ecology. But back to the point: wolves aren't an invasive species in Idaho. They're a native species.

Oh fuck you. Get off facebook and actually look into the matter. They weren't native to that environment.

Yellowstone Wolves =/= Idaho Native Wolves

Lewis and Clark nearly died crossing the mountains in Idaho. It is rugged, pickings are lean, and life is hard out there. Wolves and deer and rodents and such get very lean and small in those environments. Like the Sherpas and the Kalahari bushmen. Most of Idaho is this extreme environment. Fuck Alaska. Take your ass to the Frank Church River-of-No-Return Wilderness if you want to die slowly and painfully, naturally of course.

Introducing these gigantic plains buffalo-fed species (sub-species? strain? i dont know the technical term.) of Yellowstone wolves is not the same thing. No matter how much people like to pretend. The native ones could barely manage a sickly elk if they were lucky and worked as a team. The Yellowstone ones were taking down fully grown beef cattle.

Samantha Jespersen never wanted her butthole to be the first thing that came up when someone Googled her name. But to her horror, she discovered “Samantha Rae Anne Jespersen’s Butthole” — a Facebook business page — was the very first result.

The Page was created in 2012, when she was only 15 years old. But Jespersen, now 23 and a professional baker, didn’t discover it until 2015. Her reaction was “What the fuck?” “How did this happen?” she told BuzzFeed News.

Jespersen had no idea how the Page was created. She didn’t make it herself, and she doesn’t know anyone who would have made it on her behalf.
On the Page’s details, it reads, “This unofficial Page was created because people on Facebook have shown interest in this place or business. It's not affiliated with or endorsed by anyone associated with Samantha Rae Anna Jespersen's Butthole.”

Samantha Jespersen
To date, the “business” of Jespersen’s butthole has no reviews (though it invites them), and no Stories have been added to it.

Jespersen posted to Reddit’s r/legaladvice this week for help getting it removed. Some users suggested that perhaps some friends had created an “interest” in her butthole on their own Facebook profiles as a joke, and this triggered a Page to be created automatically.

The exact street address of the so-called business isn’t listed, but the pin on the map shows the precise location of her former home (she and her family no longer live there).

What has really vexed Jespersen is that she’s been unable to get it taken down. Since she discovered the Page in 2015, she’s reported it several times — but Facebook has said it isn’t in violation of its community standards (Facebook removed the Page after this article was published).

Since it’s a business page, there’s an option to claim it as your own, which would allow her to take it down. She tried that as well — Facebook asked for her phone number to send a code, but she was unable to get it to work.

Facebook rejected the report of the Page, saying that it didn't qualify as harassment.
As of press time, Facebook has not returned a request for comment.

Though her butthole business Page hasn't resulted in any personal repercussions, Jespersen does worry about the possibility.

“I feel like if anybody has found it, it would probably feel way too weird to talk to me about it,” she said. “And if I didn’t get a job over it, they definitely wouldn't call me and say, ‘Hey, found the Page about your butthole, not going to hire you, bye.’”

Nevertheless, her years long battle has been somewhat frustrating: “I feel like I should’ve been able to get it removed based off the fact that it was my real name, and I was underage, and since it had my old address.”

Update: Facebook has removed the Page for Jespersen's butthole.

Thank you Facebook for this great contribution of comedy, and also making Buzzfeed write the only article worth reading for the rest of this year.

This unofficial Page was created because people on Facebook have shown interest in this place or business. It's not affiliated with or endorsed by anyone associated with Samantha Rae Anna Jespersen's Butthole.

New way to call someone a virgin, incredible work buzzfeed


Also, lets rewrite the first sentence in the article.
Samantha Jespersen never wanted her butthole an article about a facebook page about her butthole to be the first thing that came up when someone Googled her name. But to her horror, she discovered “Samantha Rae Anne Jespersen’s Butthole” — a Facebook business page — "Facebook Won’t Remove This Woman’s Butthole As A Business Page" - an article about a facebook business page - was the very first result.

Since her butthole is employed by a professional baker, I feel the only pertinent question here is whether her butthole will bake the cake.

If no, can a butthole be brought before a civil rights commission? Have we achieved degeneracy of that magnitude yet?

The world wonders.

PLOT TWIST!

There actually is a registered business in California by that name, and they are writing a strongly worded letter to Buzzfeed and Facebook as I post this.

What's worse, having a KF Thread on you, or having a Business Page of your butthole.

Doesn't matter. Both bases have now been covered.

But actually, she lucks out on not having a Pornhub page for her butthole.

...or does she!?

What a timeline we live in. Be careful what you post on the Internet. Now it's biting you back in the ass.
 
Kind of odd that fb ever took the stance that its not against the community guidelines....after all it was by all accounts created when she was 15 so that could turn into a pretty serious situation for fb because of that. That kind of thing has to be getting dangerously close to violating some kind of law relating to sex and minors. Even as a joke page thats one of those lines you don't want to be getting anywhere near crossing. They probably realized that after reading the article and seeing it mentioned that she was a minor at the time it went up
