We knew this was coming. A company called Costumeish.com just started selling a brand new costume for Halloween 2015: The “Lion Killer Dentist.”
If that doesn’t ring any bells for you, then you must’ve been on a deserted island a few weeks ago. A dentist named Walter Palmer killed a famous lion named Cecil on an African hunting trip.
The costume comes with a dentist’s smock covered in fake blood splatters . . . white surgical gloves covered in fake blood splatters . . . a few dentist tools for the front pocket . . . and a fake severed Lion’s head. Won’t you be the “life of the party” in that outfit?
It sells for $60, and 15% of the proceeds are going toward a wildlife foundation.
33-year-old Johnathon Weeks is the founder of Costumeish, and he’s already anticipating the backlash. He said, quote: “Halloween is a really tricky day . . . it’s almost [about] desensitizing things. Maybe our money has Cecil’s blood on it. I’m not here to offend anybody, I’m just here to keep things questionable.”
Another costume that we KNEW would be out there this year as well, is the “Caitlyn Jenner” costume….you can pretty much guess what that one is all about. CLICK HERE if you wanna take a look at the costumes…..
What do you think? All in good fun? Or tasteless? Think I’ll just go as Alice Cooper again.
