Admittedly, in some parts of America this one wouldn’t be offensive, it would be a typical way to spend Saturday night.

I like to think of Halloween as a fairly light-hearted affair; a time to either just get silly, or for the more repressed amongst us, to live out our secret selves. The latter probably being a good explanation for why so many supposedly straight men seem to get so enthused about dressing up in drag. My tradition tends to be to think up all sorts of great costumes well ahead of time, forget to create them, and then improvise at the last minute. One year this resulted in my putting on a black turtleneck, black pants, and attaching socks and underwear all over to go as “Static Cling”. If you’re ever in a last minute jam, remember – you can always grab some ping pong balls, shave your head, and go as Homer Simpson. But unfortunately, in these tense, post-politically correct times, some people have to take everything seriously. Last year’s controversy about this offensive “illegal alien” costume remains a pertinent issue this year, thanks to the alarmist and paranoid Texas Terror Baby crowd. I personally don’t find that costume all that offensive; certainly lowbrow and in poor taste, but hardly something to get up in arms about like the people making comments in the product reviews . I was fairly confident that we could find something much more offensive, and the internet didn’t disappoint. Below is our roundup of the 15 most offensive costumes of 2010. Feel free to share any of your own.

Illegal Alien	The costume that sent me on my mission.
Genie in the Lamp	This one is bound to rub someone wrong.
Third Leg	Please note that wearing this is likely to decrease your chances of getting a date by 87%. And if you do get a date, the disappointment factor when you “get busy” will increase by an equal percentage.
Funny Nasty Flasher	Sure, you probably already have a flesh-colored body suit and trenchcoat in your closet, but according to the description, this costume also comes with a wig and an “impressive member”. “Censored” sign and batteries not included.
Down for the Count	Oh. I get it. “Down for the Count”. Aren’t we clever. Too bad that on top of being kind of a revolting costume in the first place, the inflatable oral companion looks like a 12-year-old girl. They should’ve just gone all the way and made it a priest costume.
Country Loving Funny	If you live in a rural area, this costume is clearly a waste of money. But if you live in an urban area, you know how hard it is to find willing sheep. Especially willing sheep in fishnets.
Big Pink Vagina	The temptation to say something like “douche not included”, is overwhelming, but apparently it is. It’s you, when you decide to buy and wear the costume.
Mens Sexy Doctor	Oh please. I wear this getup at least once a week. I’d hardly call it a halloween costume. Besides, you can swipe all of the costume components at any “public health” clinic. Not that I spend time in public health clinics or anything.
Hung Like A Horse	See “Third Leg” costume, above. On a positive note, the orientation of the horse head makes it clear up front that the wearer of the costume is a horse’s ass.
Droopers Waiter	Because of my age, at least half of my friends – whether men or women – wouldn’t need this costume. By the way, the image is misleading. It doesn’t come with the wig, the sunglasses, the tray, or the dishes.
Sperm Bank	Confusingly, you would again have to be a bit of a douche to wear this one. Consumer protection notice: The purchase agreement didn’t make it clear whether or not you’d be penalized for early withdrawal.
Private Parts Penis Head	I know plenty of men that this would be perfect for, but frankly (heh. I said “frank”) this looks more like the chef hat you would be required to wear if you worked at Dick’s Mountain Oyster Bar.
Plumber	It’s unfortunate, but in the case of at least two-thirds of Americans, the response to this costume would be “hey, I thought you said you were dressing up for Halloween this year”
Junk In The Trunk	This one at least puts a little bit of a humorous spin on the big butt theme. Maybe this one and the one above would be a good “his & hers” theme. Just add Sir Mix A Lot.
Happy Halloweenie Penis	Are you noticing a recurring theme here? I guess this one would be better for the man who’s a total dick, and not just a dickhead.
Gross Accident Pants	Is there more that can be said here? Depends.
