Wal-Mart Stops Offensive Costumes

The weeks before Halloween are a busy season for Wal-Mart's little-known trust and safety compliance team. Their job is to come between the 40,000 costumes sold on the retail giant's sprawling website and the 140 million shoppers who might be offended by those costumes.
In a win for the team, Wal-Mart customers haven't been able to purchase the white hotpants and wig marketed as a Caitlyn Jenner transgender parody costume. A decapitated Cecil the Lion head sold with a dentist's smock? Banned on Walmart.com. Don't expect to see the gratuitously distasteful costume meant to invoke the dispute between Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly and Donald Trump. Nor a sex-themed vampire suit sold under the name Down for the Count. Those were low-hanging fruit.

“We want Halloween to be fun and to be a surprise. But we don’t want to belittle serious incidents,” said Bao Nguyen, head of media relations for Wal-Mart Global eCommere in San Bruno, Calif., where a dozen employees take the lead on hunting down offensive products. “We do not want to offend anyone, especially during Halloween."

That's a weird qualifier.

The people in wal-mart are the most offensive thing about wal-mart.
Can they stop that?

Beat me to it
I'm more offended at the landwhale wearing white yoga pants and a tank top shopping at Walmart with her 5 whiny brats running around her than some trashy costume.
