    go for it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    Not inappropriate, just unoriginal and tired.

    And maybe don't wear it trick or treating with the kids....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,012 ✭✭✭stop animal cruelty


    crossed the line imo....l just think it would be very disrespectful for the victims, yeah their not going to see you but l wouldn't find it a laughing matter.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 34,808 ✭✭✭✭smash


    It's inappropriate that you own a shell suit.

    just stay clear of the kids

    Why not?

    People that get offended by costumes at Halloween are a little bit precious.

    When MJ died nearly every other person was MJ, same as the Joker from Batman.

    It all depends on what the " in " thing is at the time and there'll be a few Jimmy Saville cpstumes around tonight I'd imagine.

    Are you bringing the kids to the party for that real authentic Saville look?!??!

    What about just getting some orange hair dye?

    Announcing that you're offended is just another way to tell people that you can't control your own emotions.

    If you want to dress up as someone who likes to put their hand up young birds without offending anyone, just go as Rod Hull.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,073 ✭✭✭gobnaitolunacy


    Go as Hitler, like any normal person.

    I saw two at the weekend. It's an easy costume - shell suit, blond wig, fake gold chains and cigar.

    Appropriate.... probably not. Funny......I think so!

    A mate of mine got a box into the jaw for wearing a Jimmy Saville costume. Some overly sensitive buffoon took it upon himself to attack my friend for wearing a costume of a monster on Halloween. :rolleyes:

    Yeah, better to go as a lesser known sex offender, a paedophile's paedophile.

    Was at a part last night, there were 4 of them !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 563 ✭✭✭PaddyORuadhan


    I heard off a mate of mine in the UK about a friend of hers, who went out at the weekend with the GF....

    He was Jimmy Saville, the GF dressed as a schoolgirl...

    Very iappropriate but so tasteless its funny


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,335 ✭✭✭wendell borton


    Roger said he would have stepped down from his Children in Need role if Savile had been involved.
    He said: “A guy with a big cigar in his mouth, a string vest, who is covered in gold chains and trinkets — is this really the guy who we want to become a hero for kids?
    “I had no evidence but I found that his behaviour was very strange.

    Good description for your costume.

    Just don't trick any kids into treating you.

    Hey,

    Can someone tell me what everyone on the radio is talking about with regards to Ballyfermot tonight. Anytime they are talking about it I just catch the end.

    What are people saying is going to happen?

    Something about bonfires and if you are in Ballyfermot not to bother calling cops or fire brigade because the emergency services don't want to be stabbed :pac:
