A Halloween costume for men, with the inflammatory “t’ word in the title, has made its way onto Walmart’s website via a third-party ‘Marketplace Retailer. ’
It’s being put out by Halloween supplier Spirit Halloween, which last year had a Cailtyn Jenner Halloween costume for men.
A description reads: “All the guys will be dressing up as superheroes and princes, but you will stand out among the rest in this hilarious Granny Men’s Costume!
“The costume includes a white tank dress with pink collar and colorful flowers all over as well as curvaceous butt and boob pads to complete the look.
“This granny wouldn’t go anywhere without her pink babushka with flower design headband to keep her hair perfectly in place.
“Slap on some makeup and get ready for your granny walk and you will have the room roaring with laughter!”
UPDATE: Walmart appears to have taken it down, as THIS is what appears on the link:
If by technical difficulties, you mean: a sudden deluge of hate e-mails…
UPDATED UPDATE: According to LGBTQ Nation
Walmart has reached out to say they have yanked the costume from their website because it “obviously” violated their terms of service for third-party retailers.
Ravi Jariwala from Walmart Media Relations tells LGBTQNation: “While it’s listed on other sites, it clearly violates our policy and was quickly removed once we were notified. We’re appalled this seller put it on our site to begin with.”
The costume is still for sale with the same name on Amazon.
Although, I think Amazon has pulled it now, as well, as I can’t find it there.
Good. Message received.
