Oh, that's just too rich, I can't believe it was pulled. With all the terrible (And some vaguely offensive) halloween costumes out there, why this one in particular?

No I really do. He's 3 and we already got him a Scout from TF2 costume.

God damn Political Correctness.

Like in australia atm, the lebos or w.e that are coming illegally from sea are having a hunger strike if we dont let them in :v:

What the hell

Disgusting. We as American citizens have the right to distasteful Halloween costumes

I don't see the problem with it, as far as being offensive goes that's pretty damn light and playful.

"The store never intended to sell the outfit but included it in its online offerings by mistake, he said." :rolleye:

Jesus christ. Next thing you know, we aren't talking about things that are illegal, but things that are naughty. Oh no wait, that could be sexually suggestive. Things that are bad then. Oh no wait, that could be the street-talk sort of bad, meaning actually good. Things that are against the law. Oh no wait, people could find it oppressive. Well, I'm out of ideas then.

Man, wouldn't want to offend those illegal aliens that may view the costume by being in the country illegally in the first place.

Was this posted here earlier or did I just read it last night

I want pictures :(

Wait what how is it an illegal alien if it has a green card this is dumb.

That's awesome. They should have bits of fake barbed wire in the jumpsuit legs.

[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;17897385]Wait what how is it an illegal alien if it has a green card this is dumb.[/QUOTE] It's a fake green card obviously.

I could see it being slightly offensive towards illegal immigrants but I bet ones that got in legit would have a laugh about it.

I don't see how it's the least bit offensive. It's an alien damit.

If those jerks are going to ruin the fun of Halloween, make your own illegal alien costume and show those bitches up.

Illegal immigrants making a store take something down because it offended them :crossarms: :cawg:

If it were a Mexican costume it would be highly offensive. The fact is, them being offended at it only further proves that they associate themselves with being illegal immigrants (or similarly associated with). This makes it even worse for them in my opinion.

If we all cut our balls off and apologized every time we did something that offended someone else, we wouldn't be able to do jack shit because that's all we'd be doing

Speaking of politically incorrect costumes, do they have an Iraqi insurgent one?

They should of just associated it with "Men in Black" or something then they could tell them to stuff it
