[QUOTE=Super Muffin;42677465]If you're going to be horribly offensive you've got to have props at least. Sheesh!

If you're going to get ice tea at least get the right one.
Trayvon had some watermelon flavored AriZona drink or something. Not freaking Snapple.
[QUOTE=BrainDeath;42678416]are you serious
are you actually asking if that is blackface or not
oh my god[/QUOTE]
I think you might have misunderestimated his question there.
I laughed at the sheer tasteless nature of it.
The world would certainly be less interesting if every had empathy.
Not that it would make it any less tasteless but they could make perfectly serviceable Travyon costumes without the fucking blackface.
I'd go dressed as Based Mark O'mara any day, that man has style beyond compare.
Well, if they're going to be insensitive and in bad taste, I'd say that in the interest of humor and authenticity they should go all out and have "Trayvon" wearing "bloody" boxing gloves with some fake injuries to "George's" face. Have the two guys do a sort of Mexican Standoff where Trayvon stands about to punch George and George holds the gun about to shoot Trayvon.
With this sort of gallows humor, it's go big or go home.
[QUOTE=Rangergxi;42678334]Whats with the white paint around the mouth and eyes? Some old school blackface?[/QUOTE]
Long story short: Yes indeed. It's based on a [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minstrel[/url] getup, which was one of the most common forms of Blackface. [url]http://www.sonofthesouth.net/slavery/african-american-art/minstrel.jpg[/url].
Whatever, they're having fun. I'd think it's tasteless, but who really cares?
I don't think it's right for a news source to broadcast something so specific... Especially putting their names out there for people to start fucking with them. It's a shame.
[QUOTE=codemaster85;42677513]has snapple instead of arizona ice tea, 0/10[/QUOTE]
It wasn't ice tea is was AZ Watermelon juice. I'm not kidding, it is the can that was taken from the crime scene.
I don't get why this is news or why the media released these two guys names, all they did was open up the door for them to get death threats from other stupid people.
I know it wasn't exactly in good taste, but what the hell is up with the article when it does this?
[QUOTE]Before it was removed, the man who dressed up as Zimmerman was identified as [B]Greg Cimeno[/B], a 22-year-old [B]who lives in Cape Coral[/B].
The man who dressed up as Trayvon Martin–a white man who painted his face black–has been identified as [B]William Filene[/B], [B]who also lives in Cape Coral[/B].[/QUOTE]
I feel like they're [I]trying[/I] to get people to kill them.
I'm more impressed that the guy playing zim zam didn't get lynched, the drooling mob was probably confused on who to lynch between the guy wearing black face and him.
I can't believe such a shitty costume made the news. It's like an Onion article
I was planning on either going as George Zimmerman with a "Can't Simmer the Zimmer" shirt for no other reason than to see how people would react or a zombified River Phoenix.
Zombified River Phoenix it is.
Who cares its a halloween costume, I laughed.
anyone who thinks this isn't for anything other than shock value is dumb. that's the entire point. it's a "holy shit did you really do that" kind of thing. if you're into that kind of humor, that's cool. if you're not and you get offended, yeah it's understandable, but just realize that these guys aren't trying to make a statement or anything. It's just shock value halloween humor, like people that wore sting-ray Steve Erwin costumes after he died
[QUOTE=person11;42676966]Because using Blackface is totally okay all the time no matter what...[/QUOTE]
lol like i need a white boy lecturing me on racism
The name identifying stuff was done by idiots on tumblr who felt it was their mission to do some "racist shaming" and fuck up somebody's life for a harmless shock joke
funniest thing ive seen on sensationalists all week
