Asda remove offensive costume

[jakehake]

The world has gone fucking crazy. (Or can I not say that?)

It's mad gone politically correct

Latest reports from ASDA is that they have also removed the 'Mossy Mask' due to the number of complaints and the amount of vomit in the aisle directly in front of said mask.

For what its worth I don't see any issue with this costume, maybe they could have worded the description better and just called it a horror outfit, but even that is being a bit picky!

If Nobber, a real life mental, doesn't find it offensive then it can't be.

And for the record, I am one handsome fella. Imagine a better looking Brad Pitt

Really, you probably wont be surprised to find that I dont feel Mental Illness is something that I dont feel is "Something and Nothing." gladly, Asda quickly realised it wasnt something and nothing either!

I suppose you also think that "Blurred Lines" should be banned from the airwaves because it objectifies and demeans women and uses sex as a marketing tool?

You uptight PC Plonkers are the modern day fascists.

As Halloween costumes Ive not got a problem on earth with them. The moment they cross over, whats mental health got to do with Halloween anyway, I do have an issue. Its about stereotyping and increasing the stigma that so many people with mental health issues face.

I lost a very close friend to mental illness, I didnt even know he was suffering from it until I heard he`d thrown himself under a train.

If seeing a problem with it makes me a fascist, BML, then Im proud to stand out from the crowd and say so.

You really think this costume is offensive?

Holy fucking Christ, there are thousands of films out there that have this sort of thing in, even Scooby-Doo has had people dressed like this in it!

The world has gone fucking crazy. (Or can I not say that?)

My sentiments exactly.

'A real life mental', can't say I have been called that before. I will state though that I have a certificate stating the FACT that I am indeed sane, not many people have them. You have to be special!

Nobbers just a dick, feeling sorry for himself?

Reading Stan Collymores twatter page was brilliant, he was whinging about it that much you'd have thought ASDA had made a NAZI division and marched through Westminster with a banner saying 'kill all mental patients'. Then you looked up the story and it turned out to be a kids Halloween costume... What a cock.

Only just spotted this thread and whilst I wouldn't want to offend anyone with mental health issues, that is clearly a Hannibal Lecter costume. It's a Halloween costume based on a horror film character.

If we're going to start over-analysing fancy dress costumes I'd be more worried about sexy schoolgirl outfits. Considering a schoolgirl is aged 16 at the most, what message are those outfits sending out?
