So...listen. It's obvious that we're somewhat used to being offensive around here. Some would even say that we pride ourselves on it. I wouldn't say that, but some other bitch-ass shitface out there might suggest such a thing. It's to be expected when you present someone like BUCKTON as the public face of your organization. And yes, we've been known to publish tasteless photos of controversial medical procedures (which we've since replaced with an adorable little tyke not unlike that cigar-chompin' little shit from Roger Rabbit), or sometimes fabricate elaborate eulogies for well-respected (and very much alive) pornographers. That's just what we do. It's our corner of the world. We're try to piss at least somebody off with just about everything we publish.

But shit, through it all, we've still never enlisted the aid of a human amputee as a prop in our Halloween costume. This isn't to say that no one at POPPORN would try such a thing. I'm sure Bangs is kicking himself for not thinking of the idea first. But be that as it may, this guy beat him to the punch.

Feast upon this bold, bold, BOLD Craigslist posting from Brooklyn, hippest neighborhood in the US of A. Thank to Topless Robot for pointing it out.

Need an amputee to complete my Halloween costume (Brooklyn)
So this might seem strange and really offensive to some but hopefully someone will reply. I have always loved the scene in Empire Strikes Back where Chewbacca has to carry around a half reconstructed C3PO in a backpack because he hasn't reattached his lower body yet. For Halloween I would love to dress up like this. I am big enough and strong enough to both pull off the Chewbacca look and to carry around a lot of weight for the night. So basically I am looking for a double amputee (someone missing both legs - preferably at the hip) to accompany me as C3PO for the evening. We should meet ahead of time so that we can work out the backpack/harness system. There are a few parties that I want to hit and I think we will be the hit of any event we attend. Anyone up for this?
So...uh...wow. Right?

Right or wrong, tasteless or not, insensitive or...uh...sensitive, I fell that I've got to admire this guy's boldness and dedication to his vision, if nothing else. For one thing, he had the good sense to choose a scene (and one of the better scenes) from the bitchinest chapter in Lucas' epic saga (everybody knows Empire's tha fuckin' mad note, am I right?), and more than that, he's more than willing to put himself out there into the void of cyberspace and make a public claim for what would no doubt be an controversial (and most likely physically painful) costume. I mean, most nerds would just dress up as Chewie and be done with it. If they had to recreate some Bespin sequences, they'd probably buy a C-3PO costume and stuff it with foam or something. Some would go so far as to build their own robot out of aluminum sheeting and model paint. But this guy's requiring nothing less than an actual human being (sans legs) to ride upon his sweaty back for an entire evening.

And fuck, he plans to hit a handful of parties, too? That means he's probably gettin' hammered! That shit's gotta be tough.

So, right or wrong? Decide for yourself. But bold? Audacious? Inspired? I think we can all agree on that one. Though if he really wanted to go the whole nine-yards (or the whole Kessel run), he'd hire a group of children or little people to walk beside him dressed as Ugnaughts for the duration of the evening.

Me, I'm just dressin' as Snoova. BUCKTON's goin' as Zuckuss. Shit's gonna be great.
