First World Halloween Problems


Everyone gives out "good" candy now, like the bite sized Snickers and Reese's cups and I'm just sittin' here like "Where the Peanut Butter Kisses at?"  Yes, these are my favorite Halloween candy. Call me a traditionalist.


Now, I, personally have never been into the "sexy" costume crazy but I do consider myself a feminist and I support your right to sexy it up!  To quote Mean Girls "Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it."  I don't have a problem with sexy costumes in general at all.  Sexy princess, sexy pirate..sexy Rainbow Brite.  I just fail to understand why someone would want to be a sexy piece of gum or a sexy hamburger?  Not knocking people who do, I just can't imagine being the person behind the drawing board at a large costuming company saying "YOU KNOW WHAT WE NEED A COSTUME FOR AND I BET THERE IS A HUGE MARKET FOR?  SEXY TOOTSIE ROLL!!!"


I used to get chick-tracted around Halloween a lot when I worked at the movie theater.  It only happened once that I can remember ON Halloween and I was an angsty little shit of a teenager (and I was actually dressed as a She-Devil), but I find the entire thing ridiculous.  Aren't you technically recognizing the holiday by giving them out?  Also do you really think small children are even going to read those?  I bet they mostly throw them down on the ground because they aren't candy.  I'm not being mean, I am seriously curious if people think that this is going to stop anyone from celebrating Halloween?    It would also help if they were slightly less ridiculous.

I can't find the clip because I don't remember who it is but I remember like 10 years ago on Comedy Central I saw a comedian who said something along the lines of "Children dressing in costumes going door to door to get candy, well that sounds like Satan!!!"  Like that is the best that Satan could do.  It's always stuck with me and still makes me laugh every time I think about it.  (Also if you know who it is or where the clip is I'll love you for always & ever.)

I really doubt if I'll be blogging again before next week so everyone PLEASE have a fun, safe, and happy Halloweekend!!!!
