Halloween Countdown: Worst Word Splitting

Target gets some great Halloween items, but someone really dropped the ball on this costume (pun intended, I guess).

This is either a female baseball player outfit or a cheerleader costume, with the worst letter spacing I’ve ever seen. I’m sure “adult” costumes are full of bad puns, but come on…Target is a family store.

The phrase HOME RUN, which somehow became a sartorial abbreviation for “This is a baseball costume” (though I’m not even sure this IS a baseball costume) is improvidently divided into a glittering “HO” “ME”. Is this bastard creation rife with perverted undertones, or is ignorance to blame?

  1. that’s a costume? its hard to tell with fashion these days. i strongly protest the slutification of Halloween costumes for women. I haven’t bought a costume in YEARS because its all, ‘sexy cat’ ‘sexy witch’ ‘sexy nun’ ‘sexy girlscout’ and it really pisses me off that Halloween has turned into one big lingerie show instead of creativity and fun.

    • I absolutely agree. If I dress up I tend to rebel against that trend by going as something scary, ugly (or at the very least, not revealing).
