Discussion: UK Retailer Allegedly Sells Bloody Bullet-Riddled American Halloween Costumes

What real-life event do you think these costumes are referencing? Did I miss a recent massacre of cheerleaders and quarterbacks?
The Dark Knight Rises was just a movie, you know. Bane didn’t really blow up that stadium.

Maybe they think their 1 death per WEEK by firearms is plenty; especially when compared to this countries 24 per DAY.

And they don’t have a 2nd Amendment equivalent.

The football one is almost certainly O.J. Simpson’s Buffalo Bills uniform. And it just has blood all over it. Which makes sense.
(No, I’m absolutely not saying that it’s in good taste)

No other explanation makes any sense: For all it’s faults, America doesn’t have a tradition of shooting at “footballers”…now or ever.

It’s a tacky OJ Halloween costume.

I’m not offended. At first, I thought it was a commentary on NFL thuggery, but then I noticed the costume didn’t come with shackles.
