    Default "(Offensive) Stereotypes" costume party advice.

    There is a costume party coming up with the theme of "Stereotypes" and there is a prize for best costume.
    I pride myself on the costumes i wear to themed parties and I really want to win this one.

    This theme will be kind of different for me as generally i like my costume to be a bit subtle, or need to be explained to a few people, or a little bit "thinking outside the box". Previous costumes have included "Maddie McCann's Father" (Business suit splatter in blood) to a 'Good vs Evil' party, "Chris Benoit" (Chris Benoit clothing and wrestling belt splattered in blood) to a 'Criminals' themed party. You get the idea?

    At this party, the more offensive the better and I just need to settle on a stereotype and an execution of it.
    Right now I'm just brainstorming ideas and i think an edgy religious costume will be the way i go.

    Any thoughts or suggestions from you guys though?
    I'm open to absolutely everything, and don't forget, the more offensive/edgy the better

    I'd skip anything Jackson this year. Not that it's too soon, but it'll be sure to be a favorite idea so you'll risk running into a lot of similar ideas.

    Do you own a gi and have plenty of rope?

    Michael Jackson is definitely off limits. Way too obvious.
    Whatever would i do with a gi and rope?

    Go as a very Middle Eastern-looking Jesus.

    I was at a costume party last night (Halloween in July, a group of my friends do it every year). It happened to coincide with a local festival so there were fireworks before we went over to the party. So there we are all in costume (I was Pete, a droog of my friend who was dressed as Alex from A Clockwork Orange).. And one of our friends shows up as Ray Charles. Dressed in blackface walking around downtown. Nobody else knew of this costume party, just us with the guy walking around in blackface. He didn't get any shit for it, though.. I would've seriously thought twice about doing that.. maybe stuck around the bonfire and waited for everyone to come back from the fireworks.

    Wear a keffiyeh and carry a Koran and strap fake explosives around your body.

    Totally this, but plaster your robes with western adverts like you've been sponsored. Coke, Dominos, Castrol, etc.

    If you're going to be offensive, make sure you're offending the most demographic segments. Perhaps a sign that says, "Another quality fatwah brought to you by Allah".
    Anything is possible if you use enough lubricant.
