Trick or Treat - Sexy Ebola - Symptom of a Diseased America?

By Elizabeth Nelson

I'm sitting here dumbfounded.  I've seen people poke fun at Politics and put on masks of past and present Presidents: Carter, Reagan, Clinton, Bush, and Obama for Halloween. We've all seen the typical horror costumes like Dracula, mummy and Frankenstein but Ebola?  How can sycophants even consider making light or try to "sexy-up" a disease that isn't just making people violently ill but is killing people by the thousands?

If Halloween is supposed to be spooky, at least some costumes worn this year by party-goers in the United States promise to be terrifying.  Some of the more ghoulish trick-or-treaters will be dressed as emergency responders to people sick with Ebola, head to toe in protective clothing, according to costume previews in social media.

Ghosts, vampires and fairy princesses will likely continue to be the most popular costumes for the Oct. 31 fancy dress party. But every year, it seems edgier costumes emerge from news headlines.

Costumes are meant to lampoon, "but the world is getting more serious. This is scary stuff," said Tony Bianchi, manager of New York Costumes in Manhattan.

In past years, the store has sold such ripped-from-the-headlines costumes as White House intern Monica Lewinsky, Princess Diana after her fatal car crash and the Chilean miners trapped underground in 2010.  Read more Reuters

The Ebola virus that has killed nearly 4,000 people in west Africa seems to be this year's favorite among some planning for Halloween.  Even Social media know this is wrong, in so many ways, and is sounding off:

If you see someone dressed as Ebola this Halloween, punch them in self-defense.

"Sexy Ebola Nurse Costumes" are actually a thing. Misogynistic issues aside, thousands of people are dying...

Perhaps we should be proactive and create a quarantine for these mentally stupid people, that are obviously showing outward symptoms of their diseased brain.  God forbid they infect others.

VA Busch Gardens Howl-O-Scream Decorations Piss Off Many

By Elizabeth Nelson

Okay, this story proves that our country has taken PC and our feelings being met way too far.  Virginia and even Orlando's Busch Garden had planned  and paid for their Howl-O-Scream decorations months before we even knew ISIS was even on the planet and the last thing they thing the theme park takes into consideration, for fear of losing revenue, is politics.  So, when they suddenly had severed heads and decapitated  characters walking among, like the headless horseman, some of the visitors complained because, "it reminded them too much of the ISIS be-headings."

As part of its annual Howl-O-Scream festivities, Busch Gardens in Virginia included in its spooky decorations some headless figures. But the amusement park has now decided to remove them after some visitors complained that they reminded them too much of beheadings committed by the terrorist network ISIS.

A spokesperson for the park told ABC affiliate WRIC News that the figures were designed and purchase months ago, before videos were released online of ISIS beheading multiple American journalists.

“I think it was good that they pulled it,” one attendee told the news station. “I think it was out of order and insensitive to public sentiment. So I’m glad they responded.”

Watch video below:

As you can see,  the park responded, much to the expense of their pocketbook, while others  still didn't care and said that the decorations were, "insensitive."  Insensitive how? It's only "insensitive" if they intentionally  knew that ISIS was going to behead these men, when they planned these decorations and then bought  them with ISIS and the hostages in mind. Otherwise, these people need to get their panties out of a bunch and lighten up; the park took care of it, after the fact.
