halloween costumes getting more trashy [strib]

october 27, 2006 @ 07:02

this has been an ongoing thread at the office. i bring in the sunday 'party america' ad and everyone gathers 'round to freak out over how insane the girls costumes are. i assumed nobody really bought this stuff, but the article makes it sound like it's selling. idiocracy, anyone? and where's beth hawkins when you really need her? (then again, she'd probably just find fault with the strib article itself, so maybe it's for the best.)

    "So the commercial marketplace will dictate what kids are wearing," Nelson said. "And that means girls are more likely to get attention as sexual objects."

    That's just sick and wrong.
