How about some Halloween wank?
'Tis the season, after all. Grabbed from [info]wank_report

In the "craftgrrl" community, hamburgerhop makes a post asking for advice about her costume idea. People on the internet being intelligent, kind, civil individuals, respond that it is tasteless but provide the relevant information and then ignore it. Right?

First comment says....no.

Some highlights from the rest of the thread:

Person: You're an ass. Other person: Hey, about about some constructive criticism instead of name-calling? In the same thread: I was an addict and it's not worth sympathy, p.s. random race reference

Person: Not funny! OP: I know and don't care!

Person: Hey SF_drama. Other person: LOL GET A LIFE

Wank from a, sadly, deleted comment.

Why bother with PC? It's halloween!

Person: It's a parent's worst nightmare! Other person: So's being goth!

Various other miniwanks throughout the comments. Remarkably, the mod is chill with it.

Oh, and just for that little dollop of meta: name-calling in the wank report. It's cool, kids, I got this one.

edited because I can spell. Really. I swar.

Because Halloween has always been about PC and good taste. That's why 90% of the costumes at Halloween USA and Spirit Halloween make women out to look like whores and the rest are caricatures of politic figures and a priest costume has a penis you could inflate with a hand pump.

Not saying it's not offensive but most of what we wear on Halloween is offensive to someone.

P.S. To the mousie on wank_report that was so insistent upon the reporter being the one to do the write-up- wank_report isn't just for mice. It's also for those who are unable or too lazy to do a decent write-up so they put it up for someone else to grab.

I would say that's more the costume-maker's faults for being asshats. The Party Mania down the block has some wonderful stuff that actually manages not to be tasteless.

Lucky you. I'm surrounded by Party City stores and the T.V's been blaring "HEY KIDS COME GET YOUR WHORISH/SEXXXY/SLUTTY COSTUMES OH AND BRING YOUR MOM TOO" nonstop for the past two weeks. Ugh.

Eyuch. I can't even bear to go into Party City, the place is so trashy.

My local ones are relatively clean and well managed. I have no idea why their corporate thinks it's a great idea to air those ads here when they could just let the places speak for themselves. But what do I know.

Tell me about it. I wanted to be Snow White this year (I never got to be a Disney princess as a kid) and I went to about a dozen places before I found a costume that didn't look like this.

Jeepers. Kinda makes that whole shacking up with seven dwarves thing look like a porn production house.

My Robin costume ended up looking fairly slutty, but that's less the costume shop's fault and more mine for picking out a costume sized for a nine year old boy.

People with axes in their heads are insensitive to real people who have died of axe murders!
