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!

ahahaha I for One ....would love to see THAT costume in photos!

Thank you!

[ifinnegan]

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.

I can barely wait for the official whitehut youtube video

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.
