Walgreens sells "illegal alien" costume
Via Women's Glib, we find out that Walgreens is selling an "illegal alien" costume. Seriously. Even worse? It's so popular, that it's sold out.

2. If you can step back from the politics, it's a funny costume.
It may not be possible for a lot of people to set aside the emotional reaction, but it's just a play on words.

4. Meh...
...everything offends someone.

This one is pretty tame though and fairly clever.

7. It's a bad pun. That's supposed to take the sting out . . .
And it works for me.

8. You are a good person
I enjoy your posts but.....that costume made me smile.

I think that's all it was meant to do.

9. There's no such thing as bad publicity...
which would explain its being sold out.

In an earlier thread, Target had received complaints regarding the same costume.
The sad thing is that they caved in and pulled it from the shelves.

On another note...
I saw the "illegal alien" costume a few days ago at a Halloween store.

They also had several costumes that would ruffle a few womens feathers (I noticed that the link is from a feminist website).

Costumes that only a 12 year old or frat boy would wear... a doctors smock with the words "Seymour Bush, GYN" printed on it (another one had the name "Mike Hunt" instead), a person sized fake magnet with stuffed cat heads glued to it with the caption "Pussy Magnet".
there were a few other that I don't recall at the moment.

12. I love it!
What has happened to people's sense of humor? Most humor offends someone. I suppose this costume offends extra-terrestrials.
