Citing a brewing \u201coutrage tornado\u201d, Halloween Unlimited CEO Bart Robinson ordered his franchises to stop selling the popular \u201cSexy Australian Reptile Finder and Scary Pointed Sea Glider Couple\u2019s Costume\u201d immediately.<\/p>\n
Robinson\u2019s email to stores acknowledged the resemblance to the famed \u2018Crocodile Hunter\u2019 was unfortunate, but entirely unintentional. \u201cSteve Irwin was a personal hero,\u201d Robinson continued, \u201cit was pretty much a stab in the heart when he died.\u201d However, it seems unlikely that the company\u2019s sales will suffer because of the hubbub, as many stores had sold out of the costume before Robinson\u2019s nationwide email was even sent.<\/p>\n
Halloween Unlimited employee Chet Filipowski seemed perplexed by the controversy. \u201cI grew up with the Crocodile Hunter, man. He was a groovy dude. But you have to admit, it\u2019s kinda funny.\u201d Filipowski also said the costume was \u201cpretty much stupid. Sexy Steve Irwin? That\u2019s redundant. Normal Steve Irwin is 100% pure sex.\u201d<\/p>\n
When asked if he would wear the costume in question, Filipowski had this to say, \u201cI don\u2019t know dude, I\u2019d have to find my lady stingray first. If you\u2019re swimming out there, sexy sea glider, give me a call. I\u2019m looking to be pierced in the heart\u2026 by your love.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reminiscent of last year\u2019s embarrassing \u201cGeorge H.W. and Barbara Bush Matching Couple\u2019s Pubic Wig\u201d controversy, Halloween Unlimited has once again dominated news cycles and consumer\u2019s pocketbooks with its bizarre brand of offensive and puerile humor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
