Sex-related costumes infuriate mom [dress as a pregnant nun, or an
excited priest this Halloween]

Times Herald-Record ^ | October 30, 2007 | Jeremiah Horrigan

Vails Gate - Halloween is full of shocks. But the shocks Christine
O'Connor experienced at a local party and costume shop were not of the
traditional variety.

Far from it.

O'Connor and her 12-year-old son and 13-year-old stepson were
strolling the aisles in the Party Stop in Vails Gate about two weeks
ago.

It was there she found a rack of costumes she could hardly believe. A
pregnant nun. A costume depicting a Catholic priest with an erection.

"It made me sick," O'Connor said.

The sexual nature of the costumes was bad enough. The fact that they
were visually available to anyone, including children, was worse. She
got her kids out of the store, after complaining to a shop employee
who, she said, just shrugged off her complaint.

Fellow "christian", J Young, would say that this is only humor.
Get a grip, repressed moron.

I disagree. While I am not Catholic, I do think there is a double
standard. While I'm not going to call Reverend Al and ask him to form
a mob for me, I would re-think frequenting an establishment that
openly mocked my beliefs.

I understand that catholic priests _do_ get erections. The uses they
put them to have been mentioned in the media to a considerable extent
of late.

Outrageous. Disgusting. This implies that a Catholic Priest would
have consensual(?) sex with an adult female.

Poor baby. She should have gone to church instead, leaving the enjoyment
of Halloween for real people.
