Child Pimp & Ho Costumes

image Looking for a unique Halloween costume for your kid? Then check out the Child Pimp & Ho Costumes offered by Brands On Sale. For your boy you have a choice of the generic pimp suit costume, the long pimp daddy suit, cheetah pimp suit, or zebra pimp suit. But for your girl you're limited to just a single ho costume (though you could send her out in the spoiled brat girl costume). And let Fido join in the fun with the pimp suit dog costume. A link to these costumes was doing the blog rounds last week, and when I first saw them I figured they were simply costumes in bad taste... not a hoax. But according to des femmes they are a hoax. Des femmes reports that, "I spoke with Jonathan at Brands On Sale. He said the page was hacked and they're still trying to remove it from the server. The pimp costumes are actually zoot suits and the ho costume is supposed to be a flapper." This was posted on the 25th. It's now six days later and Brands on Sale apparently still has not been able to correct the item descriptions, which seems a little suspicious. But we'll have to wait and see what happens.
Update: Looks like I was wrong. This Yahoo! News story that Dwight linked to in the comments seems to indicate that Brands on Sale is seriously selling these outfits... that they weren't the creation of a hacker.

I find that highly amusing. The fact that a hacker would go to the trouble to make up yhis stuff is funny.

This week I got a direct-mail advertisement for something called "HOE" that supposedly is a great help for foreigners trying to learn English (perhaps it teaches a somewhat limited vocabulary, though?). Imagine my disappointment when I read on and found that HOE stands for "Hands-On English." This company is probably quite legitimate, but it has one of the most unfortunate acronyms since "Ayds Candy."

Due to overwhelming demand, our child ho costume is currently sold out. However, we are currently accepting preorders which will be delivered in time for Halloween 2004.

Bahahahaha!! :lol:

Yahoo News has a story that apparently originated with an Oklahoma TV station, about parents who are upset over this:

"Brandsonsale.com spokesman Johnathan Weeks told the Washington Post last week that the costumes are among his biggest sellers. He said the company plans similar outfits for entire families in the future -- including infant-sized pimp and ho garments."
