Every year people gather to have a load of fun at Halloween parties. There is always one person that wants to make a "Big splash," at the party by wearing the most impressive costume. Well there is a small group of people who go out of their way to make a statement at some Halloween parties. These are the people that wear offensive costumes. There are about 5,000 people per month searching on Google for these types of costumes. Why in the world would anyone want to wear offensive costumes?

It is more or less fun and some claim that they are the life of the party when they wear offensive costumes. Well that depends on the crowd at the party. You know what, there are also parties where that is the main theme. When looking around on forums like answer.yahoo you would find people asking questions like, "What are the most offensive costumes ever? Well, following are two other questions asked about these costumes, with an answer to each question which states why those types of costumes should never be worn no matter what.

Question #1 - Which 2009 celebrity death would be most offensive for a Halloween costume?

Let us take a look at an extremely popular celebrity who died in 2009, Michael Jackson. No one should dress in an offensive costume that represents or displays disrespect in any way. Any costume worn should be in celebration of his life. It does not matter who the celebrity is, there should always be respect. Respect is also due to the family left behind.

Question #2 - Are terrorist Bin Laden Halloween costumes offensive (in NYC)?

Although it is Halloween and anyone can dress and be anyone or anything they want to be on this day, Bin Laden offensive costumes would not do the trick. I think it is down right dangerous. One poor guy that tried this on Halloween almost got killed. Well certainly NYC is definitely one place that you should never, by all means wear this costume.

Although there is such a thing as outrageous, offensive, and funny costumes, there is also a limit. There are just some boundaries that must not be crossed. As such, there must be a willingness to put in the time and effort to research what goes into a real politically incorrect costume that does not cross certain boundaries. Remember, portraying someone whether dead or alive today, should be done only in good taste. Also one should steer clear of wearing a costume that portrays a terrorist. Therefore there are just some offensive costumes that should never ever be worn.
