Where's Whitey.....

I love Halloween---mainly because I'm a swine and love to eat candy. But, as an added bonus, this year is going to feature a plethora of crazy people dressed up like everyone's favorite Boston Mobster, Whitey Bulger! Now, this is a very simple costume as reported on the news, but it's apparently extremely popular. All it entails is an orange prison jumpsuit with the name "Whitey"on the back. The costume is available at IParty, and I'm loving the fact that the guy in the pic on the package looks like he's awaiting a chalk outline....just sayin'....Also, from the front, this dude isn't convincing me that he's Whitey at all...

Maybe I should think this is clever or funny, but I don't. I actually think if the following costume was sold with the name "Whitey" on the back, it would be FAR funnier, ironic, and appropriate:

Yup! That's right! I'm thinking a "Where's Waldo?" costume would be extremely funny if "Whitey" could be inscribed on the back. Seriously. Dude was on the lamb for how many years? And, like Waldo, who is always right under your nose in the pictures, Whitey was as well....actually, even Waldo was easier to find than him.....

I don't know why I'm blogging about this, but it just popped into my mind while watching the news story on it....and I'm kind of happy that I did, because while goggling images for "Where's Waldo Costumes", this picture came up.....and I can't even begin to imagine how it got pulled into my search....I don't have a clue as to what this is, but I DO know that I'm going to order it and have it shipped to Big Ran as an early birf'day present, just so he can wear it on Halloween.....
