Agreed!!!!
I just saw a guy dressed up the other night, and get this.. He was dressed as Custer!!! Arrows sticking out and all...
Can you believe that? isn't it a bit soon?
/sarcasm
Cmon lighten up abit, Halloween is the biggest holiday in the world.

So say your brother is murdered/killed/gunned down during some (insert thing).

Then some dicks on 4chan start a meme with his likeness and it goes viral. Oh the entire internet laughs.

Lighten up guy, no one really cares about your dead brother. Haha it was brilliant coz I don't know you and you are a stranger. I laugh at the death of your family members because I can and this is the internet. Lighten up guy. Who cares... your brother? who the heck was he.. some idiot. He's dead now and the wormies are having dinner.. lolololol hey it's funny tho right!!

... I had some arsehole mock my dad when he died many many years ago. I almost went to prison.

Ignorant scumbags like this deserve whatever pain comes their way... sad to see so many justify it as comic relief...

A simple kids costume has you all on fire?
You need to seek help, or take up tai bo or something.
All that anger is gonna burn you up inside.
Life is for living, personally I'm glad I live in a country where I am free to express myself.
And Halloween being the greatest of all holidays is an excellent time to express ones self!

I thinks it's great it's about time for people to relax and get to work making the country better instead of finding something to whine about every day.

No, it isn't. Not by an reasonable definition. Chinese New Year would probably be. Or New Year. Or one of the Eids.

Halloween wouldn't even be in the top 10.

You know what seems really super funny to me? Dressing myself up in the skins of those precious canines in your avatar! Of course I would never do such a thing...but I could if I wanted...and you would take no offense whatsoever right? I would wear their eyelashes...blue skin and paws, but no offense, because its all innocent. Give me break on the right to expression Bro!!! Are you even a human being?

Come on man....I'm with you on the freedom of speech thing, but you're going outside human boundaries. If you think I'm wrong...go into any urban area wearing that same "costume" and see how many laughs you'll get followed by getting you're arse beat down! Think I'm playing, then do it and post pics or else it never happened. Then we'll Deny Ignorance!

You better have ya boys on deck is all I gotta say...because you're gonna have to high tail it outta "da hood". . but yes, yes, freedom of speech is a right...but when that freedom sucker punches you in the face one day....don't come to ATS crying about it. Shut the hell up, because Karmas a bia-itch!

On a side note...it's freaking raining here finally.....YES!!!!!!!!!!

ETA
I express myself everyday...like thousands on ATS. I don't need one day out of the year to express who the hell I am. Ya' better check yo self before you wreck yo self!

This is still America. As distasteful as it may be. we're allowed to hate whoever we want.

Don't like it, don't look

Stop it! Nonsense...when you show me a pic of you in that get up somewhere in a crowd of at least one hundred or more...I'll retract. Until then...knock it off!

Ummmm, no!
The skins on these dogs belong to me, therefore you cannot use them to dress yourself.
However, you may dress up as a dead doggie, maybe a white one with tire tracks across its back and crossed out eyes, that would be a hoot!
I would not be offended at all.
Nice attempt at it though.

Gratz on the rain, rain is always welcome.

What in the world makes people think this is funny or even ok?

Teenagers wear stupid things at halloween.
The Miley Cyrus costume is out there ... she's a slutty drug addict.
There are Hitler costumes and mass murderer costumes ...
It's just one more dumb outfit that some teenagers wear at a Halloween party.
In a few years, and a few news cycles, it won't be something they'll even think about.

Well that's a lame reponse...it was put on ATS and if others don't like the responses how about, don't read them? I saw it here first...so you get my response...don't like it, then leave as a silent viewer. Seems fair to me.

That suits my fancy...how bout you young buck?

Actually, one of the funniest costumes I have ever seen was a hitler costume and the guy carried an empty grape juice bottle.
All night he kept saying, "I eliminated the juice".

No, your dogggies are whatever I want them to be. You're here with a pic...I'll distort that image as I see fit. Hey man, it's on the Internet!

Blue balls are open...I think I'll wear your pups for Halloween, come back and post pics...see how you like that! Yeah right...I would never do such a thing...but I could be an ass and make it look like I want it to look. What would I gain though? An enemy for no dam reason.

Point being is this...it's not cool to do so. Be a racist asshole all day if you choose. But step in the wrong place at the right time...that funny freakin' smudge on that kids face is gonna see a hollow tip, a fist, some nun chucks...etc. Then your community is going to yell...racist black people...then they're gonna say, no we were picked on. Then the courts gonna say bring everybody in here....then everybody is gonna go to jail because a jackass was practicing his freedom of speech. Then guess what's gonna happen....everybody is going to jail! All because of one immature jackass! Are you gonna go there?

I'm not cool with that scenario at all. I do believe in freedom of speech. But, sometimes...someone has to be mature and say "enough is enough" and celebrating the death of another human being is not funny, regardless the comical point attempted.

That's the problem on every side...it's not a white/black issue dude...it's a human issue. Sincerely, racism is disgusting. Look, you don't have to like my three predominant ancestors...African, Orcadians/Russian or Native American. Guess what, I don't have to like you either...but you will respect me and vice versa. The difference is, I have no problem with any race.

You need to stop IMO. Because, if you don't, if we all don't stop promoting violence and using our rights to freedom of dumbass expression in these situations, as an excuse to do so...the tables are gonna turn against us all. I'm just saying enoughs f'in enough...I don't care what side your on.

I'm mixed with so many cultures that all this crap is just plain and simple retarded IMO. Just look at our dialogue in this thread. I find it ridiculous, that I'm even having this lame ass conversation with you.

Probably way too soon.

But i dont see a race issue, even the girls fb comments were just tame silly things.

Insensative yes....race hate no.

Oh I see, the image. Sure get to it, I would love to see the pics.
You see along time ago I toughened my skin so trivial little things don't hurtez me.

Be a racist ***hole all day if you choose.

*edited for taste*
I don't recall saying anything racist, what is even more comical, I never mentioned my color. But I guess racists can come in all shapes and sizes.

Not a fan of comedy at all are ya?
You do realize, Irony is what makes things funny...well unless you are just a straight vaudeville sort of guy I guess.
Some folks find these things downright Hi larry us, usually the ones who aren't emotionally faulty or suppressing something.
I happen to like the ironical costumes out there.
Life is what it is, live it and have fun at it.

It seems more like people go out of their way to offend these days.
It's not funny. It's a disgusting mentality on display.
Yes this is America so they shouldn't be jailed for it.
They aren't kids, they're 25ish.
Hitler costumes aren't funny either.
Good luck to them getting any good job ever now, that's karma.

What's the saying?

unintelligent people talk about other people.

intelligent people talk about events.

exceptional people talk about ideas.


To all the people that are offended. When did sticks and stones stop being relevant? If you're offended, and you're an adult, you can deal with it...like an adult. In a society like the US, you are going to be offended all the time. There is literally nothing you can do about it. Do you want them to get punished for offending you? If so, for what, also how? Take into account that they're teenagers. If you've been a teenager, then you know that teenagers, in general, are know-it-all dicks who don't know anything and are extremely crass and inappropriate.

I find Miley Cyrus as a whole more offensive than a one-night costume by some teenagers who are being snarky. She was groomed to appeal to a young audience, then methodically transformed into some drug addicted androgynous loose object of a female. I think she presents a very subversive image to young women around the country, I find it extremely offensive, but you don't see me absolving myself of responsibility and blurting out "something should be done". Same goes for these teens. Bad taste? Yep! Why is this a discussion? I don't know!

I'd just like to add, someone posted something about how this makes them feel ashamed to be white? WTF. That's probably the most racist comment i've seen on this thread. Two bozos do something distasteful for the sake of comedy (shocking, it's a totally novel idea), they happen to be white, and this makes you ashamed? Whenever you use your microwave oven, I want you to feel unashamed because some other white guy that you had no control over in a different segment of time in a different place came up with it. See how loony that is?

The kid can do what he wants, but if I see him he will get jack slapped.

C'mon dude...is that really a "simple kids costume"? Why did he have to paint his face jet black? he could have just worn a hoodie and had skittles and an Arizona. The whole minstrel face thing is born out of racism and its not really cool...

reply to post by Baddguy


So this is genius comedy that is appropriate for cable televison (I think it is, I loved that show). But you didn't see the media going bonkers over it.
White Face

And this is so offensive as to be potentially punished... something oughta be done, eh?
Black Face

Where's the consistency, where's the integrity? Either it's okay, or it isn't. You can't make exceptions, because when you do, especially when it comes to race, you are by definition being racist (preference of or preferential treatment of one race over another).
