This product image released by Brands On Sale, Inc. shows a hazmat costume with a respirator. No holiday screams pop culture controversy quite like Halloween. So what's the costume flap of the year? It might just be Ebola, as in Ebola zombies and faux gear to ward off the deadly strain of virus.

This equates EBOLA with OBAMA and DEMOCRATS just before an election, therefore it is most certainly racist/Homophobic/yada/yada...

Ebola hazmat suit? Edgy, but not over the line.

Ebola corpse/zombie? Way, way, too far.

I was going to do a cheesy Al Bundy-type bowling outfit with a mouse, keypad, modem, etc. all strapped to me.

You know, an eBowler.

It is totally going to happen. And it should. My granddaughter and her friend are both going for Miranda Sings. Google it. Also disturbing but that’s the point.

I had never heard of Miranda Sings til now. Thanks for the update. The actress is talented, and had created this open ended, offbeat, lovably fallible character, performed and portrayed by her self. Clever girl!

Gotta disagree with the article. One of the major points for Christians of All Saints Day and All Saints Evening is that we are victors over death and no longer afraid of things that go bump in the night. “O Death, where is your victory? O Grave, where is your sting?”
