the Most Controversial Halloween yet?

Recommended Posts

Many companies have been making poor marketing strategies for this Halloween. Online retailers can be found selling a synthetic dead or dying dog that looks like it died or is dying in pure sheer agony (make your pick). Walmart recently has been under fire for their "naughty leopard" racy costume for little girls. Also, from across the pond, retailers were selling a psychotic patient cosume, which got quickly pulled off the shelves after public outcry.

Are retailers becoming less sensitive to what the public as a majority might find obscene? Or do they see dollar signs that over rides their fears of an item being unacceptable to the great majority of their patrons?

Many companies have been making poor marketing strategies [i personally would change this to "decisions" or "choices" because it sounds better.] for this Halloween. Online retailers can be found selling a synthetic dead or dying dog that looks like it died or is dying in pure [i deleted this because it means the same thing as "sheer," making it repetitive. If you'd prefer to use "pure" instead of "sheer" though, that's fine.] sheer agony (make your pick). Walmart recently has been under fire for their "naughty leopard" racy [put before the quotes.] costume for little girls. Also, from across the pond, retailers were selling a psychotic patient costume, which got quickly pulled off the shelves after public outcry.
