Bad taste Steve Irwin costumes, which include a bloody stingray barb attached to a khaki shirt, are among the top Halloween costumes in the US this year.The macabre outfits have split Americans, with some condemning the costumes while others find them amusing. At least one US celebrity, comedian Bill Maher, has donned the Crocodile Hunter outfit.
A prick with a barb in his clothes, whoduhthunkit? Maher looks really lit up in this. Ethanol poisoning perhaps?
Photos of Maher at a Halloween party in Los Angeles on the weekend dressed in khaki shorts and shirt with a bloody barb hanging out of his chest are circulating on the internet.
Remember kiddies, when Hollywood vermin bleat about respect for human life, they don't define it the same way you do.
Posters on Yayhooray.com, where an image of Maher can be found, were split on the comedian's Halloween hit-out."Douchebag. No doubt about it now," intoned "Stoavio", while "SCarrier11" said: "Ha ha I hate Bill Maher. I still hate him ... but not as much now."
Poster "Liberal", obviously not a Maher fan, said: "I can't believe he didn't go as a dead Iraqi."
or Osama bin Laden.
"Mirukono" had a different take. "I'm gonna be a stingray, with a Steve Irwin sticking out of me."
Probably ingesting the same stuff Maher was.
Irwin died just nine weeks ago when a stingray barb pierced his heart as he was filming off the north Queensland coast.
The San Francisco Bay Guardian newspaper recently published an article entitled Great bad ideas for Halloween costumes, with the number one suggestion a Crocodile Hunter outfit.
Personally, my favorite would be lynched reporter.
The article came with an illustration of Irwin with a stingray on his chest. "Kids and grown-ups alike will stare you down with white-hot horror when you strut around in your khaki ensemble with a pissed off sea creature piercing your chest," the article's authors, Cheryl Eddy and Kimberly Chun, wrote.
"Too soon? Hell, no."
I wonder how she would respond to an Alec Baldwin mask with a bullet hole in the forehead?
"If Irwin's eight-year-old can get her own Discovery Kids television show, you can certainly make sport of her nature-loving pop's freaky demise."
How does the tyke's show justify the dyke's desecration? Logic is not Kimberley's strong suit.
| Nor humanity, but let's not digress ... |
Ok, I approved of the hippie exterminator as a valid comment on justice for brain-dead traitors but Steve Irwin never hurt anyone.
The episode had been scheduled for broadcast in the US on Wednesday and would not play in Australia - if SBS chooses to show it - until the middle of next year.
If Bill Maher himself dies, I promise to mock his departure in a Halloween costume. A moonbat pickled in alcohol is the obvious choice, and there just might be some ways to do it so the intent is obvious.
