An adult male cannot dress as a ghost for Halloween, if "dress like a ghost" means wearing a white sheet. White sheet on an adult male does not read "ghost." I'm such an idiot.

^A little bit of NSFW language.^


Here he is.

I just had to laugh at this example of the neurosis that is "white man's guilt".

I'm not an expert on the Klan or its fashion choices, but that picture doesn't really look like a KKK outfit. Particularly with the hat.

I think he milked the story way too much. I mean, sure - I can see how some people might get a bit skeevish about the perceived similarity, but it's not that big a deal and certainly not worth a 9 minute rant.

Makes it easy to see why only one guy in the act talked.

I think he was over-dramatizing it because the story itself is kind of funny. But looking at the picture, I am guessing it wasn't nearly as bad as he makes it out to be. The first thing that registers to me when I saw the picture was: halloween ghost costume.

Although if his daughter attends an all-caucasian, faculty-behinds-wound-super-tight, I-don't-even-know-how-to-spell-'poor' type of school then I could see the story having a bit more truth. Those types of people (yeah, "you people!") are always the first ones to play the racist card when A. There isn't a thing racist about what is going on. and B. They aren't even of the race they are getting their panties in a twist over.

I do think Penn Jillette is awesome though.
