University students in America have been told not to wear "offensive" halloween costumes including cowboys, indians and anything involving a sombrero.

Students at the University of Colorado Boulder have also been told to avoid "white trash" costumes and anything that portrays a particular culture as "over-sexualised" - which the university says includes dressing up as a geisha or a "squaw" (indigenous woman).

They are also asked not to host parties with offensive themes including those with “ghetto” or "hillbilly" themes or those associated with "crime or sex work."

Obama masks should be forever banned as they way too frightening, even if you know it’s only a Halloween mask.

Would she have to wear a tacky shmatta and a plastic shiny wig just like in the real world or would that be inflammatory?

Or how about I get followed around by a small crowd of drooling zombies with government phones and their hands out asking as pets from more from their master? Would that go too far?

Can we use a penis pump as a microphone in honor of Sandra Fluke while at it or would that also be insensitive?

ah yes the New Sandra FLuke Costume/

Id have to say that ANYTHING GOES would be the watchword for those choosing to adorn themselves with a Fluke Costume.

although a bit cumbersome...as costumes go I see no directive that would disallow one from dressing as The Great Leader ....or any of his lackys

How about you go as a couple and have a Sandra Fluke doll with a full body condom as part of the costume, would that be OK you think?

Or you can go as the President doing a partial birth abortion procedure maybe, too far?

the Obama as Abortionist...would be a BIG HIT around here.

this very liberal....Limousine Liberal infested portion of Marin County would surely welcome me with open arms given their support of all things “progressive”.

the more money then brains crowd would surely be AWED.

Last year one neighbor gave away ipods....to all....

Perhaps I should dress as a ObamaCare navigator??

Yeah, so we can all dress up as Obama and have a wagon with a dummy looking like it has a half born baby. We can play a recording of the baby crying as the Great Leader kills it out of the womb in honor of partial birth abortion.

Seems fair since it is in the real world.
