Simple thread, post your favorite Halloween costumes.

Ill start it off with this funny one.

The Catholic Priest

It could be because I'm Catholic or because I'm not a fan of sexual humor, but I find that more disturbing than funny.

I'd have to agree.  It's making light of a very serious issue, so the joke is in bad taste IMHO.

Not to mention it disrespecting a lot of things related to religion.

I dont understand how you might think that other people should laugh at something like this.

Disturbing/Disgusting, if that person tried to make a funny costume, well, FAIL!

Its useless to try and explain humor to those without it. If you cant see it now, you never will.

Guess to many people are afraid to make fun of religion when it screws up

Then I hope I never will, because something like that offends people even if you don't know it.

Humor isn't supposed to be ONLY nice......


Does a black guy making a black joke offend you?
Does an Asian guy making an Asian joke offend you?
Does a women making a Feminist joke offend you?

It's true, people tend to have some leeway when making jokes about their own societal group.  However, this is not just about the catholic church.  There's another group of people involved in this issue.  So unless this man is from a group of sexually abused children, your argument doesn't work.

Pax  please...
(lat. pax=peace; readers of the French/Belgian comic school might know what I'm referring to)

I think we can agree that this picture/costume/joke is a little bit ... well ... exaggerated (is this a term we can agree on?) and does not hit everyone's sense of humour. Perhaps it was meant to start a discussion or whatever, I don't know.
I can understand why people might laugh about it, although the picture will only rise a sad smile in my case. I do not consider it funny; it's just a critical picture (in more than one meaning). We all have different opinions about black humour, and there's no way we will convince someone to change his sense of humour through discussions.
"De gustibus non est disputandum."
Therefore I suggest to simply "forget" about the posts made before, ignore (or erase?) the namely picture and get back to topic!

Spiderman to the rescue 

two years ago in Purim (the jewish version of Halloween  ) I saw in the street a guy in a perfect spiderman costume (like the one in the movies) and he just walked around like nothing is special (well, people wear costumes in that day, but still, the way he walked around was priceless)

I didn't wear any costumes since I finished elementary school...
