You have to imagine how funny this might look.

Imagine a Chinese guy, a Jewish guy, an Indian guy, and an Irish guy dressing up as that. I taught them a few German Words for no reason at all. :p Those pictures are not us obviously, we don't have a camera, but they're sample pictures of the costume from where we got it. >_< :p

yeah, hilarious. Why do people think it's original to dress up as killers? Notwithstanding your particular heritage, it's pretty lame.

Because they had god-awesome uniforms.

God-damnit, I'm wearing this in public to.

I'm going to be a College Student who isn't participating in Halloween because he has school work to do. To complete the illusion I will even spend the whole time doing homework and not going outside.

You say 4 people, but I see 2 people in these pics. Are you guys on something?

They're high on life. And by life I mean cocaine. And by cocaine I mean cocaine.

It's not original, but it is traditional. In the early days of Halloween, people would dress up as demons and evil spirits. It seems to make perfect sense to me.

*snerk* Oh, I like this. It's the perfect response to people glaring at you about dressing up as German officers. You may want to ditch the arm bands, though; that's going a tad too far. Besides, the officers didn't wear them out on the field (I assume).

I want pictures!
...of everyone's reactions.

And a newspaper article.

Don't forget to blur the faces of the angry black guys beating the shit out of you.

You are going to die.

You are going to die.
We frown upon forewarning here.

You are going to die.

Not if I bring these along.

THATS GHETTO!! You might want to have a black guy in a white robe and a torch come with you.. you know.. to make sure they know its a joke..?

Mythical demons and evil spirits =/= real life murderers and opressors.
I personally find it in pretty bad taste, and mildly offensive. Nothing too serious but meh, it would't be my choice. Demons and spirits could be construed to have mythological, metaphorical, cultural significance. Nazis are still far too recent, far to real, far to ruthless to be percieved in that way.

damn it, I though this year I was finnaly going to have something original.

Think about it. Honestly, it doesn't take much. Why do we dress up on All Hallow's Eve at all? Or, for those of us whose religions have dress-up holidays of their own, why do we dress up on those days?

It has little to do with trying to deceive people, really. It's about turning the world on its head, for a day. Sure, 364 days a year I'll respect the rules of good taste and not endorse genocide (including myself and my family?!) with my clothing. But on that one day, the rules don't apply and I can dress however I damn well please.

It's a safety valve, in some sense. On Hallowe'en you can use your clothing and make-up to express or display what you probably wouldn't at other times.

If I ever have a couple hundred dollars really burning a hole in my pocket, I'll commission a mask, build a tail and ruin a perfectly good pair of jeans to go with it, then put on gloves, paint them, and go off and have a good time. The rest of the year, that'll all stay in my closet. :)

Going visibly armed increases the chance that some armed and unstable person will try to attack you first. This happens on the international scale too.

I checked out that site you linked to. If you're actually wearing those uniforms, you wasted an amazing amount of money. For example, just the Hitler dress uniform is something like 960 euros, without any accesories.

I didn't buy the Hitler Uniform. My Jewish Friend is wearing that. XD

True. If you take those along, your future won't contain death. It will contain oyu being repeatedly sodomised by a 300lb redneck named Bubba in the state penitentiary.

ZING!!

Like the Mel Brooks quote says, the greatest revenge is laughter (See "Hitler On Ice")

Good points. I'm not a prude at all, just this stint rubs me the wrong way.

By the way, great name. I'm thinking of doing a set of puppets for various protists: Chlamydomonastan, Euglenoidia, Parameceia...you beat me to the punch though.

It came from Heinlein, through my state's national motto. And that's off-topic. :D

Nah, just mentioning. Still off-topic. o_o;

Oh great TWO other people, now I have to change my costume.

I can see the humour, even if I don't agree with it (if you ditch the armbands...definitely too far. I'd get rid of all swastika references). The problem is that most people won't.
