Happy Halloween! Tom Smith

Some people are upset about this guy going to a Halloween party at the President of U Penn’s house dressed as a Palestinian suicide bomber.  I don’t see what the big deal is.  I went to a Halloween party once where this guy was dressed up as a concentration camp victim, and it was funny.  This other guy came as a lynching victim with a rope still around his neck.  That was a hoot.  Then was was this woman who came as a victim of a Serbian rape camp.  She was hilarious.  Hi lar i ous.  She made the funniest faces.  The dead African AIDs babies were a close second, however.  There was a group that came as Dafur refugees, but they couldn’t quite pull it off.  They were all kinda chubby, for one thing.  There was that guy who came as a decapitated journalist, a bunch of dead Marines, and any number of amputees.  One of them was real!  When he showed us his stump, we could not stop laughing.

People need to lighten up.  Halloween is about having fun, not good taste.
