Halloween Costume Ideas, Part 2

Target recently had to pull an illegal alien costume from its website.  It was an alien mask (like th Roswell kind) and an orange jumpsuit that said "illegal alien" on the front.  It also comes with a green card.  So, they managed to insult two groups: foreign nationals and actual aliens.  So, to try and help out, here's some more suggestions.  (I wrote some last year.  Check them out, they're on the blog.)

IDEA #1

A racist depiction of a transformer 

This is particularly good if you're Michael Bay, because you've already spent a lot of money making a CGI version of this - a transforming robot that speaks in Ebonics, wears gold teeth, and can't read.

Plus side:  You can get film executives to give you a lot of treats or at least fork over large amounts of cash.

Down side: Racist and also offensive to robots and aliens (see Target). 

IDEA #2

Jay Leno

Jay Leno is a good costume idea because he is on television every night and everyone knows him.  It's just nobody watches him.

Items needed:  A prosthetic chin and the least funny joke every uttered by a human being. Also a clear plastic shield to block the eggs.

IDEA #3

An exit strategy from Afghanistan

This would be a good strategy except that noone (particularly if you are trick or treating in DC) has any clue what you look like.

IDEA #4

John and Kate Plus 8

This would seem like a difficult one, but you can either go as John or Kate and bring a large box that says "This restraining order prevents the other party from entering this box.  The plus eight are also in here with me. "  

Downside:  See Jay Leno
