You know that expression that’s been tossed around since Trudeau famously dropped the mic last year:
Because it’s (enter date here).
Well, in case you still haven’t figured it out – it means that this sh*t should be obvious by now. We shouldn’t have to tell you not to wear any of the costumes below. You should simply know better.
But, alas, we promise you will see at least a few of these atrocious Halloween costumes out and about this year. What’s worse, the people wearing them will think they’re ‘funny’ and that you just need to ‘lighten up’. (Please note: after five drinks these same people will likely want to fight you for daring to challenge their freedom of speech.)
So yes, these Halloween costumes will burn the eyes of many a partier in 2016. And at this point, all you can really do is hope that it’s not because you’re the one wearing them…
A Clown
Scary clown. Fun clown. It doesn’t matter. They’re all dead to us now because people are sick in the head.
Refugee
Sure, go get wasted with all your friends dressed like someone who gave up their entire country for the chance to live in a country that freely affords you the opportunity to make fun of them.
Zika Virus
Topical is not the same as funny.
Hilary Clinton
The FBI will be looking into you if you do this. Again.
Anything Native/Aboriginal
There’s a reason Osheaga (and many other festivals) have banned your culture-appropriating ass from wearing these. And you can be sure that if Halloween had a governing body they’d also slam anyone who thought this was a good idea.
Harambe
Let. Him. Die.
Caitlin Jenner (now or then)
People learned their lesson last year (we hope). And you should have too.
Anything Black Face
How the f*ck do we still have to tell people not to do this?
Sexy Anything
Shout out to the ‘sexy Ken Bone’ for being both topical and supremely unfortunate.
Donald Trump
Keep Canada great by not giving this guy any kind of tribute.
Beyonce Formation Video
If you are anything other than black please don’t do this. Please.
