    Is this where we post pictures of people who wear racist Halloween costumes?

    Not to be a dick, but this flowchart is screwed up.

    If you go down the middle of it, to the Something Sexy selection, and answer the Ironically Sexy question Yes, you then get to the Is it an Animal of Some Sort question. If you answer No to that, you come to a dead end (right in the center of the picture) with no further guidance as to whether your costume is racist or not.

    FAIL - do younger generations not understand how to create a flow chart?

    What the hell is ironically sexy anyway? I, yes me VB, can't think of an example of that.

    I had a buddy once who thought it'd be a good idea to go as adolf Hitler. Granted he was a raging alcoholic and pill popper at the time, so his judgment was skewed. Still, I wouldn't stand anywhere near him at this bar party and was less than surprised when a woman started screaming in his face and he soon wanted to leave. Why things continually need to be explained to people as inappropriate Halloween costumes -- black face, nazis, holocaust victims -- defies explanation

    I don't think adults should wear costumes on Halloween. When I was a kid (admittedly a long time ago), this was a holiday for kids alone. I wish it still was. Decorations are OK (I carve a pretty fair jack o' lantern) but I hate costume parties for grown-ups.

    I went as OJ in October 1995. Even brought a bloody glove.

    It's fine if you're in your 20s or early 30s. Basically till you have kids. After that it's pretty pathetic
