On the Web: Why Halloween Will Suck this Year

For anyone that was at Comic-Con, you'll know first-hand why this is not a joke.

Click the pic for the high res.

Now that The Dark Knight has taken the world (and box offices) by storm, every adolescent male out there is going to be trying to replicate the messy make-up and dirty green hair that Heath Ledger was so eloquently/creepily able to pull off.

Think of it as like an epidemic. It's Bat-herpes; a disease that penetrates the mind of anyone with a penis and convinces them that, for one night only, it'd be cool to forgo any sense of originality or individuality by dressing up like the exact same fucking dude as every other guy on the planet. Symptons may include looking like a complete tool.

Thanks to IgnatiousReilly over at Reddit for submitting the pic.

It also hit the front page of Digg. Some of the comments there are golden:

I'm going as Batman so I can punch all these guys in the face.

And my personal favorite:

It's so much easier to be Heath Ledger, all you need is a bottle of pills.

Too soon?
