Feel The Force

[Cherry Christmas]

Since when did a mental health patient's outfit (whatever that is) become a traditional Halloween costume. Incredible how stupid the buyers are in these stores at times.

[Ninastar]

Oh come on

[smudgie]

Asda outfit looks ok for Halloween, just the wording is wrong..should have simply called It a "Mad axeman outfit"

[Mrluvaluva]

In Halloween/Horror films, some of them use characters that have escaped from mental wards. Are we to ban these films next for depicting people with mental health problems in a bad light? Stan Collymore complains about anything and everything. Maybe they should replace them with a dogging costume, or maybe a wife/girlfriend beater one.

I should imagine this will help push the prices up on ebay and other sites. :idc:

Don't really think they had to name it mental patient, they could have called it something else. That's not funny but the daily mail comments are

[Kizzy]

Isn't the second one a Hannibal Lector costume?
