or something similar.

This company needs to feel a little social media backlash. Please also post on your Facebook if you have one.

https://www.facebook.com/costumeish There is a petition posted on their page to get them to pull this.

On the costume page on their website, they say the costume is so popular they have raised the price.

Looking on their Facebook page, it is incredibly clear that these folks are absolutely clueless. It's also clear they spend no time on QVC forums, or they would have learned a thing or two!

I'm not an especial PETA fan because I disagree with some of their stances/ideology and methods, and have no particular desire to increase their fund-raising.

Having said that, I have no issue with the costume and what it says. I've seen many comments all over the internet, joking, half-joking and not-much-joking, about what people would like to do to the dentist or what people would like to see happen to him. This costume just reiterates a lot of public feeling. It's about as serious as most people have been with their comments. It is for Halloween, which is about humor. Not everyone's sense of humor is the same. I think the costume is funny because I tend to have a black/dark sense of humor.

@MoonchildeYes PETA's costume is dark funny. My outrage is with costumeish.co and their Lion Killer Dentist costume

The costume is no more - this from the petition site - the promise was made to take away the costume if 25,000 signatures were received. At last count it was over 50,000:

Update #1 about an hour ago
After a lengthy & heated discussion w/ Mr Weeks, he has agreed 2 replace the costume w/a Cecil costume. He is also donating 100%, instead of the 15% initially posted. The petition will remain until this costume is removed. He asked me 4 a couple of days to make the change. TY 2 all of YOU!

It was still for sale on their website an hour ago. I don't understand why the need a couple of days to pull it?

It's sad that there's always someone willing to make a buck. I could see if all proceeds were donated from the get go.

Their sales probably tripled as soon as the petition started. Free advertising.

I cannot imagine opening my door on Halloween to be faced with an adult, let alone a child, showing up in this costume. Shock, yes.

In my opinion, this makes light of a serious situation, not to mention it is in extreme bad taste. Surely, PETA has better methods to raise money.

Thank you adelina for your post; I feel the same way-- Halloween is for the kids to enjoy. Adults wearing costumes that send messages like this be they good or bad is in bad taste. Its sick humor.

Making a buck off of this is pretty sad but not surprising.

Thousands of people have adult costume parties.

True, but you'd still have to be pretty sick to think anything about this was amusing. JMHO.
