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."

If I were a college student today, I would thumb my nose at those authoritarian pricks with the most outlandish costume that I could devise. I would punch all their buttons. Imagine this: Indian chief headdress, Obama mask, plastic boobs, hammer & sickle armbands, and a 3-foot salami swinging between my legs. Okay Freepers, top that!

You don’t make any sense. Do you have a real point?

If it who partied more in our respective youths, I would beat you.

"more importantly....will Obama hold a press conference to Announce what sort of costume hes going to be wearing??"

Since he's never aware of anything, I doubt he'll even know what costume he'll be wearing. Perhaps Moochelle will hand out the rotting vegetables from her garden to the kiddies this year.

So much for my dress like a Congresscritter party.

Technically, I think you will be okay. They specifically prohibited themes associated with "crime OR sex work." They didn't mention anything about "crime AND sex work."

I suggest a “stupid university administrators” theme. It’s target rich.
