LA Times columnist Joel Stein wants to reclaim Halloween, taking it back from the sluts who have run amok with the pagan holiday.
“I understand that the masquerade ball is a classic that faded away, and that people need an opportunity to hide behind a mask in order to safely express their hidden selves. It makes sense that once a year I get to peek into your psyche and find out whether you think of yourself as a whore nurse, a whore pirate, a whore angel or a whore whore. That's fine. But not on the kids' favorite day. It's transforming formerly child-friendly costume shops from fun-creepy into Chris Hansen-creepy.”
We couldn't agree with him more, especially after seeing those ridonculous sexy children's costumes earlier today. Stein suggests a holiday in August called Slut Day, when everyone reveals their inner sluts with costume parties and theme drinks. Or, as we call it at Scanner, “Monday.”
