NOT funny.

What is it about Halloween that makes some people go bonkers?
JillyC|1413575810|3768732 said:Yes. Not in good taste at all. But then again, I can think of a lot of Halloween costumes that are in poor taste.

The entire occasion is a festival of poor taste, is it not??!
I agree. I don't think it's in poor taste, but perhaps pushing the boundaries a bit. I find so many costumes these days are doing just that, and wouldn't be more offended at this costume than say, a dead baby costume or whatever.Guilty Pleasure|1413599113|3768863 said:I wouldn't have a problem with this costume. But I also think people are making way too big of a deal out of ebola in America and would see this costume not as poking fun at the people who have died, but as commentary on the media and politicians sensationalizing this and the American public who are falling for it.
