Nightlife The New Scary
posted by on October 31 at 13:10 PM
Halloween used to be scary because the darkness of night was scary, and the goblins and the ghouls who owned that night were scary. But now we have flashlights, inconclusive ghost-hunter videos, and a toll-free number for Ghostbusters.
But adults still want to be scared. So we are petrified that our kids, if released into the Halloween night, will be killed—even though stories of strangers giving out poisoned candy are almost entirely unsubstantiated.
Children also want to be scared. They are scared of the dark. Even more, they are scared of knocking on a stranger’s door and asserting themselves. But fewer and fewer kids get to challenge either fear. We cart them off to official Halloween functions in gymnasiums or at the mall. In lieu of darkness and strangers, kids’ remaining fear is sex. So, to make Halloween scary for them, retailers push costumes like this.
This scares us all. And this is how we want to be scared. Yikes.
So dressing up my 5 year old son as Paris Hilton during her filming of the sex tape is a bad thing to do? Who would have guessed.
At least the girl in the picture can go to Smith's now.
Be nice and dress him up as Rick Solomon--he was the only one who appeared to be enjoying himself.
AAAAAH!
Man, sorry, that was scary.
Ewww.
I've always thought the word "Hallowe'en" is scarier spelled with the apostrophe, like how Judy Blume does in her books. Remember those?
Bring back the apostrophe!
I went to Northgate last night, where there were lots of kids dressed up, and I didn't see any tarted-up tweens, thank God. There were, however, some very hot moms. Mraowr.
This does explain why pedophiles are all coming out of the closet. The one thing, this isn't the holloween custome, that looks like what they wear everyday. Walk down a downtown street, almost any time of the year, 5 year olds are wearing mini skirts shorter than what I wore to Pride Parade, and no one thought it was possible then.
Parents are setting their kids up to be hurt more than protecting them. Subconsiously or because of stupidity they are doing several bad things:
1. Encouraging pedophiles by allowing them to see their children as sex objects.
2. Forcing the concepts of sex on children who would normally not be thinking about such things.
3. Forcing the children to wear clothing they probably don't even feel comfortable in.
Let a 5 year old pick out their clothes, most likely they will dress as a princess or G.I. Joe, both of which wear more clothing than the average person and show a lot less. If anyone doesn't believe me, buy your children several outfits of various coverages and styles, then let them pick, you will be surprised.
