Hallowe'en
Anyone else read the WSJ article today about parents' (of all political stripes) using their kids' Hallowe'en costumes to advertise their political views? I found this pretty disgusting. The parents actually seemed proud of it. One choice quote:
"She's a walking billboard for our opinions" - parent of four year-old who will be sporting a John Kerry-stickered backpack with her Tinkerbell costume.
And another:
"She's a big supporter" - parent talking about daughter on whose kangaroo costume he's considering putting a BC campaign button.
Not that Hallowe'en is sacred or anything - it just seems very crass to use kids as billboards and not see anything wrong with that.
