Cease Silence: I'm glad everyone likes our poster campaign :) →
i can’t be the only one who thinks this is absurd. people are way to sensitive. i’m of asian descent and not once has a geisha, samurai, ninja, math-geek, what-have-you costume offended me.
you guys should’ve taken it even further and gotten some trauma nurses in scrubs holding pictures of skanked out nurse costumes; or hotel maids posing with photos of girls as sexy french maids with thigh-highs and stilettos, because that is NOT who they are. but you know what? it’s PROBABLY OKAY, because anyone with an ounce of humor would know that hallows’ eve isn’t a night where people pick what they want to wear to offend OR represent an entire culture of people, it’s one night to have fun with stereotypes, topical events, personal humor and creativity.
everyone needs to fucking relax.
(edit: i also posted a mini rant on facebook and a hispanic friend comments: “this is too funny. the costume the hispanic kid is presenting as his cultural stereotype was my halloween costume last year, hahaha.”)
