Sexy cop, sexy Snow White and sexy corn have new, topical competition in the skimpy Halloween-wear section: Meet "Sexy Ebola Containment Suit," the most awkward and arguably insensitive of them all.

Online retailer BrandsOnSale , which bills itself as a "Unique Costume Shop and more" unveiled the new ensemble days ago, featuring a short white dress, face shield, breathing mask, safety goggles and blue latex gloves at $59.99 per costume. A pair of bright yellow knee-high rubber boots can be purchased at an additional cost.
The Internet met the news of the costume with mixed responses.
"I'm in complete and utter disgust," one Twitter user reacted, while another questioned the costume's existence.
"The fact that there's a sexy ebola nurse costume proves the sexy costumes have gone out of control," another wrote.
Others found the gear humorous, writing "Ladies, you've still got time..."
The introduction of "Sexy Ebola Containment Suit" comes on the heels of an Internet hoax in which an older image of a "Sexy Breaking Bad" costume featuring a reconstructed yellow hazmat suit was digitally altered to appear as if it were a "Sexy Ebola Nurse" in 2014.

But will anyone actually buy these outrageous outfits? Yes, if recent trends are any indication.
The National Retail Federation last month predicted that Americans will spend $2.8 billion on Halloween-wear this year, with $1.4 billion of that amount on adult costumes to outfit approximately 75 million grown-ups. Those numbers contribute to a record two-thirds of Americans buying costumes.
And with all of the headgear attached to the "Sexy Ebola Containment Suit," anyone wearing it probably won't be able to read any of the tweets deriding them for bad taste either.

This can'y be real. And it's ugly, not sexy tbh.

It's crazy how people are really profitting off a disease killing thousands of people. Kinda ****ed up, but hey money makes the world go round.

You know, I don't think this one was actually intended to be an "ebola" thing.

Why?

That costume is based heavily on the Cyber-Goth/Industrial theme that is popular in Europe.

Example:

Something tells me that one was already in the production line and someone decided to switch up the marketing.

The trend for the gas mask goes back to the "Biohazard" symbol - which became synonymous with the use of drugs at dance clubs - the symbol trended and the mask phenomena went viral... and has, thus far, remained a part of the culture. It's possible that the masks originated from the "Industrial" segment, since most of the masks are modeled after industrial respirators that would be seen in a factory environment.

Anyway....

I think the concept is fairly silly. Nothing about Ebola is even remotely erotic, nor is there anything erotic about treating it.

And when did Halloween become the **** Sabbath? Whatever happened to people dressing up as grotesque, frightening, or supernatural things?
