Apparently people have. For example, you have mistaken this:krazykidd said:I'm on her side. Did everyone suddenly forget what horror is? Holloween isn't about being cute.
If you are talking about the "dark knight shooting" you should educate yourself, he wasn't wearing a "joker costume"FalloutJack said:Some asshole shot up a theater on the early release of The Dark Knight Rises in a Joker costume. I have no idea what's wrong with people that they ever think this is a good idea.lassiie said:http://shine.yahoo.com/healthy-living/woman-s-boston-marathon-bombing-costume--what-it-says-about-everyone-205502002.html
So, not sure if someone has brought this up, but holy shit. What in God's name is wrong with some people. I can't even fathom how a person could remotely think this is funny
This reminds me of the boards after the RE5 trailer was revealed.thaluikhain said:Not seen that one. Saw the Trayvon Martin one, and the plane crash ones, though, which are arguably worse.
But yeah, that is very wrong. And...there will be hordes of people coming to defend it, saying that people speaking ill of her is infringing on her free speech and that there are worse things in the world.
If you think the costume is "truly scary" or that the "scariness" is what offended people, you're probably too young to have a valid opinion on the subject.Dirty Hipsters said:I find it weird that Halloween costumes are supposed to be "funny" nowadays.
Whatever happened to Halloween being a holiday that celebrated fear and the things that make us afraid? People dress up like serial killers, murderous psychopaths, and monsters and that's fine, but dressing up as something that's truly scary crosses the line?
Devils and ghosts scare children, why can't adults have more adult costumes about what scares them? Why do people have to dress up as some kind of pretend evil when there's real evil in the world?
A lot of people watch the show and think it's funny.Uhura said:Yeah, poor taste. She still doesn't deserve death threats though.
I'm surprised that there are so many people in this thread who thought the costume was funny... It's like hearing someone say that they think Two and a Half Men is a funny show.
That's true, and just as she has the choice to make fun of victims of a tragedy other people have the choice to be sickened by it and judge her for it.Evonisia said:I don't really see the issue with this. It's a little insensitive, sure, but then again that's her choice of costume.
Sorry if the "rest of my comment" made you uncomfortable, next time I'll just state the obvious and jab at something stupid and popular like you did. So creative you are.Uhura said:@Carpenter
I know it's a fairly popular show and I don't have any issues with people who enjoy it. Different people enjoy different things. I just don't personally get the humor in it.
I don't even want to comment on the rest of your post.
I think it's just that people find dressing up as victims (the bombing victims/Trayvon Martin) more tasteless than dressing up as mass murderers/terrorists etc.SkullKing84 said:When I was younger I remember O.J. Simpson masks being sold that Halloween when he was arrested and I remember people dressing up as the Unabomber, Hell I even remember someone Dressed up as Timothy McVeigh.
