I know what you are saying Juang, but surely you must see that it is inappropriate for a big corporation, like Target, to take on such behavior. In addition, I think that this case can hardly be seeing as something trivial.

I don't see what the big deal is. It's an alien holding a green card. It would have been an offensive costume had it been a pancho, sombrero and taco. Also, are you all forgetting the movie District 9? Maybe the costume was made as an attempt to milk the film since that movie did just play in theaters like two months ago.

Extraterrestial beings are scary, so hopefully they do take this costume off the market.

My dad showed me this in La Opinion, we sort of laughed about it, but I was a little offended by it, only because I know that some dumb teenagers out there are going to wear this and probably won't think about the context behind it.

Hahaha I think that the only reason I find the costume funny is cause I'm an asshole.

I think it's kinda clever to poke fun at the literal meaning of illegal alien with the alien mask and the orange jumpsuit. Are there people that are gonna take this the wrong way? For sure, as with anything. But then again, it's Halloween aka Let's-get-shitfaced-and-wear-ridiculous-clothing Day. Would anyone expect anything less?

OH HELL TO THE NAW. There's no good reason why I would put Kim Kardashian as my avvy. Puh-lease. She may be pretty, but she's not the brightest crayon in the box, if you know what I mean. She also has the personality of a rock. Not my cup of tea.

Seriously though Hey Monday. That's actually me ... and no way in hell do I look like Kim Kardashian. I have enough testicular fortitude to post my own picture on the interwebz. You're clearly a noob. You've missed out on some of my douche-tastic moments. My aim isn't to be liked. My aim is to keep it real. Insulting people and being a douche while hiding behind a random avvy is for pussies and/or ugly people. If I'm going to be an asshole and tell it like it is, I'm going to make sure you can at least see what I look like so you know EXACTLY where I'm coming from.

I'm not scared to let people know where I'm from or what I look like or what my name is. Alicrap be damned! I'm tired of hiding.
