Not paranoid enough?

Check out this website:

It is a map of the world called a "global incident map." There are pinpoints you can move your mouse over and see all the suspicious, possibly terrorist related activities happening in every city of the world. You can upload the entire stories of these stories if you'd like to. You can find out about bomb threats, wide-spread illnesses, and other major incidents that you probably won't hear about on the news. It updates every 300 seconds.

Wonderbread or Mini-Skanks?

I know this has been complained about before, but I can't understand - what is the deal with the whore costumes? What does that have to even do with Halloween? Why are they so popular even though I hear tons of women complaining about it? They're always the ones who win the costume contests. Can't they get their glory on wet t-shirt night at the bar or something? I think the awards should go to scary or elaborate costumes - not skanky!

Sexy El Vira - OK, a vampire w/ cleavage - eh, OK, just an every day ho? Not OK. I could not believe some of the trick-or-treaters!

There was a cute baby bundled up in a Wonderbread costume - not scary but adorable. There was a little Chicago Bears player and a princess - not scary but cute. At least they're imaginative, the little kids idolize sports players and princesses and want to play one for a day. That's good for kids!

But little girls who look up to skanky women and want to be them? Not OK! and very unhealthy.

I knew by looking for my own costume that morality is lacking these days, but I was shocked to see how young some kids are that think this whore image is cool, or just how grown-ups are. Two girls, approx. 10 years old came to the door dressed as skanks. Not a specific celebrity, just basically stripper clothes and wigs. Their parents were standing on the sidewalk and I just wondered what are you thinking letting them dress like this? Encouraging a ten year old is just wrong.

I remember when I was 16, I dressed as a sexy cop and looking at the pics I looked ridiculous but I was making my own decisions then and didn't show much skin anyways. Another Halloween I also gave into the skank vibe and was Captain hooker while the boyfriend was Tinkerbell. I couldn't find any normal ones! Though I looked sexy in a skanky sort of way, it was embarrassing having relatives takes pics in that! Not any more though. If I can't find any non-skank costumes, I'm not dressing up! I'm not giving into it anymore. Maybe if we quit buying them, they will start to make more modest costumes. Especially considering, it's in the 30 to 40 degree range most Halloweens here!

What did you/your kids dress up as this year? What do you think of the 'sexy' costumes? Try this, go to a major search engine, even with safe search on and type 'halloween costume' and see what comes up? My first page was all skanks!

I found this one on a halloween site under "teen/tween costumes."
