Oh God I am mortified

My H just told me two of the people hanging out with us are going to dress as Hitler and a prision camp victim. :/1. We aren't happy. This is beyond insulting. 2. This friend has never said or done anything racist before. I can't be friends with some who does this. 3. I wonder how our other friends will react.4. We can't stop them from being at the same bar as us, but I want to avoid them at all cost. 5. This is going to end badly. I see a huge physical fight ensuing. 6. WhereTF do you even get a Hitler costume? What a$$hole would make these? Do you find this funny? I fail to see the humor.

WTF??  I do not find that funny at all and I would avoid them also.

I am actually turning red right now in embarrassment.  I couldn't hang out with them either.  In fact, I'd probably be the one to start the fight.

I don't find it funny.  I could see a few select people finding it funny, but I think most people would be upset by it.  Hitler himself...well...I would think it was tasteless but could be worse, but adding a prison camp victim, that's over the line, IMO.

Uh no. That is not even remotely funny. Can you give your other friends a heads up? Perhaps a group cold shoulder can be prepared so if they show up like that they won't have fun and will quickly go away? Jimeny Christmas, that just isn't right.

Not funny at all.  I've seen Hitler costumes and thought it was distateful, but to compound the insult by adding a prison camp victim is completely deplorable. How anyone finds humor in this is beyond me. 

angie74

there is nothing even remotely funny about that.can you say something to them about it?

vicmo5

Also, that's not even remotely clever.

ricksang

I am not going to NOT voice my opinion on this. I need to make a few calls.

Pirata13

OMG. WTF?  Who does this?  I can't understand how someone would remotely find this funny. I hope you can all join together and avoid them. Can you go to a different bar and not tell them?

mandapanda78

I require updates on this one.

ricksang

Well I guess you canhttp://pics.nerdnirvana.org/d/11592-1/girl-hitler-costume.jpgColor me surprised.

Reminds me of the plethora of Osama bin Laden costumes a few years ago.  Umm, seriously people?  Even all the MJ ones this year disturb me (to a lesser extent, but still).

mehgank

I'm with mandapanda, a group cold shoulder would be in order. I don't find this funny at all. Unless the prison camp victim publicly kicked the sh*t out of the person dressed as Hitler, but still, that would only be moderately humorous.

ricksang

No we can't go to a different bar. We are going to a friend's bar, well,  both his bars. Damnit, now I might lose a friend.

vallyhoo

This reminds me of Prince Harry's costume from a few years ago- not the exact same, but still completely irresponsible and in poor taste.

LesPaul

Ditto pp.  Not even remotely funny on any level.  This is not edgy or clever.  What an awful idea - they deserve to get beat up.

mandapanda78

Are there bouncers/doormen at these bars? Can they be forwarned to deny them entrance? I really think if you give your other friends a heads up there is NO reason for them to blame/disown you. I wouldn't blame someone for knowing someone who turned out to be a shiit. Happens to everyone.

vicmo5

I agree, manda.  If you forwarn everyone and ignore these two sickos you will not be blamed.  However, I do think that would completely ruin my night, whether I knew them or not.

vallyhoo

Is it too late to enforce 'Party Etiquette' of some sort?Like, Hi Everybody we are hosting a funny Halloween party. Dress up in your FUNNIEST, non-offensive costumes.

kdcwedding

Wow. No, not funny at all.Can you talk to them before the party and see what their thinking was and tell them whatever it was, just...no.

meriamjuicy

If they are close friends I would let them know how disgusted you are with the idea.  The costumes could very well incite violence.  If they are just friend of friend I would still tell them and then shun.

Nebb

I think that is pretty crass.

ricksang

I have decided that I am just going to straight up ask her wtf is wrong with her? I will update.

salt78

My mouth is literally agape as I sit here.

vicmo5

Ricks, is the link you posted one of the real costumes? Honestly that's more disgusting than a realistic SS uniform.  You can't cutesy up a Nazi uniform and expect to get away with it.

salt78

Looking at that link made me want to punch someone in the face.

MissSarah786

Prince Harry did it, so it must be okay. [img]http://halfbackflanker.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/prince_harry_nazi.jpg[/img] Such costumes are sold to the public, so it must be okay. Um, yeah... still not okay. I guess I could keep my cool with a Hitler costume, but Hitler plus camp victim is just beyond comprehending. I would def. lose my cool.

scoetto

You need mrsE to straighten them out.

ricksang

No that isn't her costume. I have no idea what her's looks like. I just found out mins. ago. My H and I are going as blond haired blue eyed (well me at least) swiss alps people. All our friends are white. People will think we are skin heads.

MissSarah786

This kid dressed like this to his HS and got in serious trouble. If I remember correctly, he was suspended for quite some time and had to write an apology. [img]http://www.fasthack.com/images/weblog/2006/11/halloween-hitler.jpg[/img]
