One U.S costume supplier is looking to make the most out of recent political events with this year’s selection of halloween costumes.
Anytime costumes are now supplying their ‘humorous approach to a serious issue’ costume with the BP – Bad Planning suit. This costume comprises of a green boiler suit covered in oil and has been described by the company co-owner as “positive way for the public to express their outrage at the oil spill disaster – while doing something to make a difference”. Interesting justification!
Another of their costumes set to be popular this year is the ‘Illegal alien‘ suit which pokes fun at the recent introduction of Arizona’s controversial illegal immigration legislation.
These may seem like a random ideas, but with the oil spill headline scoring well in Google search results, it was actually a pretty cunning ploy to get a costumes out there that’s related to such issues. As a company, you’re increasing your chances of getting seen and making more money.
The site also sells masks of policitcal figures along with a wide selection of the more traditional Halloween costumes.
