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."

I'm not a neurologist so don't quote me. Unless the human body has its own unique code that it goes by which the brain ultimately controls i'm not sure. Or the brain just accepts any other human body and is all good.

The brain won't even be able to communicate with the body.

It will basically just be sitting there connected only by some blood vessels, which will be pumping it full of blood which itself will be full of killer T cells and neutrophils and other immune antibodies which will be attacking the head and the brain in it as foreign invaders.

So in addition to being a completely paralyzed head sitting on top of a useless body, he'll be being attacked by that body, and they'll have to jack it full of immunosuppressants just to tamp that down enough he doesn't immediately die.

This will open him to any number of opportunistic infections which will attack because he basically will have no immune system.

It's hard to imagine how shitty this would be in reality, but it's pretty likely that he'll be brain-dead anyway, so at least he might not be there to even experience it.

God bless Vice for pointing this out to me.

Men go there to be with other men. To explore masturbation in a male environment.

"The energy at jack-off clubs is inevitably very focused on physical pleasure and the penis specifically," Rosenberg tells me. A prepress manager for a large in-house design group by day, he's been running Rain City Jacks since 2005. "The power of the experience lies in the exposure of what is routinely hidden and the sharing of what is almost universally private: our masturbation practice."

Oh boy, what have we gotten ourselves into?

Today, Rain City Jacks is a premier jack-off club that has hosted more than 300 events, averaging about three a month with 60 men showing up regularly. There are fewer than such ten clubs operating in North America, and according to Rosenberg, only a small percentage of men even know they exist.

This sounds pretty gay. Just how gay is it?

While some of these guys are certainly either closeted or just starting to explore their sexuality, I've come to believe that many are indeed straight men, predominantly heterosexual guys with a desire to enjoy recreational penis play with other men... so I hesitate to call this 'gay.' Most of the men who attend clubs identify as gay, but many do not. It's a uniquely open and nonjudgmental space that straight guys feel free to explore and intersect with gay and bi men."

uhhh

Usually, an experienced member will sit down with a newcomer for 15 minutes and show him the ropes...

A red silicone wrist band signals, 'Don't touch my dick.' A green wristband means, 'Don't bother asking. Everyone may touch my dick

UHHHHH

Couches will have two or three or six men seated side by side, legs draped over one another, with everyone playing with themselves or their neighbors," he says. "And the energy is not rushed at all, but intensely focused and chill. The great majority are not into a fast orgasm but want to make the time last. Nobody leaves in that first hour...

The bathroom showers are stocked with skin care and clean-up products. Even the bathrooms have mouthwash on hand. There is never a shortage of fresh, clean towels. It's basically male-masturbation heaven. With a situation this lush, inviting, and pleasure-based, why aren't more men doing this?

Okay, well I think I get the idea.

Well at least one good thing happened for Conservatives am I right?

This is ultra gay. No further debates necessary.

Plus it was kind of a half-assed job. Should have been some Old Testament shit. Or at least a giant black asteroid made out of the same stuff as that thing in the Ka'aba.

The Twin Towers killed what, 3,000+ people? The crane only killed 100. This is some Dobson tier revenge, God.

What is it with people not using "bisexual"?

predominately heterosexual = some homosexual = bisexual

The "intersection" between straight and gay is BISEXUAL

 

[DNJACK]

I'm straight goddamit

 

[Bugaboo]

Is this like the South Park episode where Kyle and Stan's dads sit in a hot tub and want to see what it's like to watch a man jack his weiner

 

[KatsuKitty]

This is gay enough that I want to try it.

 

[DNJACK]

just do it on cam and post it here.

 

[XYZpdq]

I demand that any guy I jack off in front of at least have the decency to pretend to be a girl. Otherwise it's totes gay.

This is gay enough that I want to try it.

Baby steps. Start with Chatroulette.

 

[Steamboat_Bill]

May I suggest these clubs adopt this as their anthem?

 

[GS 281]

They have places like this online.

Spoiler

 

[KingQueen]

They have places like this online.

They have places like this in my livingroom, too.

 

[melty]

No

Typical muslims, trying to grab attention away from our national tragedy and make it all about them.

 

[glass_houses]

I'm straight goddamit

We believe you. Really.

 

[Qualm]

The most ironic thing is that the crane was owned by Bin Laden family. The more you know.

 

[DNJACK]

Thanks

If your masturbation club has mouthwash, then yeah, that's really gay.
