Bad taste Halloween costume of the year? Dress up as Cecil, the lion's killer
Toronto Sun ^ | August 27, 2015 | Postmedia Network

Wondering what to wear for Halloween? Are you a jackass? If the answer is yes to both these questions, you might want to consider one retailer's new costume: Lion Killer Dentist.

The costume, available from costumeish.com, features a bloody dentist smock and gloves, dentist tools, and a stuffed lion's head.

The getup, a homage to the American trophy hunter who killed a popular and protected African lion named Cecil while on a safari, retails for US$99.99.

"All Doctor Palmer wanted was to hang dead animals in his house, but what started as an obscure (if legally dubious) hunting trip has since erupted into a brouhaha of trans-Atlantic proportions," reads the description of the costume.

And because costumeish.com obviously cares so much, the company has pledged 15% of proceeds will go "to a Wildlife Foundation," which is capitalized despite not naming a specific charity.

Maybe dressing up as a dead lion with a bullet hole in the side. Cecil, the zombie lion.

How about the same costume carting around a bloody doll and a forceps. Call it the Planned Parenthood costume. I bet that would offend fewer people.  photo beatles-yesterday-today-butcher_zpszsn8mdyq.jpg

How do you dress as a homosexual/anti-Christian/liberal republican consultant for the GROPe in Washington?

Actually, it would be a crossbow bolt. If Dr Palmer had missed, Cecil could have been on him before he could reload.

And woe to anyone who dares wear an 0bama clown mask. I remember when Nixon clown masks were all the rage, especially after Watergate, the toy stores and novelty shops couldn't put them on the shelves fast enough. And there's been clown characitures of every Pres since. But don't dare diss Glorious Leader, as a certain rodeo clown learned the hard way.

Give back Halloween to children. I’m sick of this adult takeover.

The dentist was led to believe the lion was legal. Hunting is legal and a natural instinct.

While listening to the radio in my car this morning, the DJs reported that the Caitlin Jenner costume is right up there in popularity with this costume! And of course, it is very offensive to the “easily offended.”

You could dress up as the nameless lion who just killed the tour guide.

I am sure that would be tasteful.

popular among whom? The people polled over there were too worried with silly things like basic necessities and most didn’t know who the heck he was!

Though I’m not a hunter, I thought the costume was hysterical.

And from what I understand, the money brought over by big game hunters is desperately needed.

Halloween is especially popular in the homosexual community. Not sure how that evolved.

Ya I thought liberals were outraged about the Jenner customer. So now they are outraged about the Cecil the lion’s hunter costume???

Yet these same liberals saw nothing wrong about hanging Sarah Palin off of someone’s house as a Halloween decoration.

I can’t keep up with liberal criteria for what I’m supposed to he outraged about.

I seriously love your idea. To get attention for defunding that is. In adults of course.

I remember that butthole with arms, Bill Maher, dressing up in a safari shirt with a stingray spine sticking out of his chest, mocking Steve Irwin’s tragic death.
What goes around comes around.
If they don’t like it now, they can go eff themselves.
