It seems there’s no end to the controversy this year when it comes to Halloween. A local news outlet in Nyack, New York, recently reported a pair of black pumpkins with white facial features. And soon after a NAACP leader made the statement that black jack-o-lanterns are a form of blackface. The controversial reports thus motivated the Bed Bath & Beyond chain of retail stores to remove the black pumpkins from their shelves and online store. Pumpkins pulled from stores for looking like blackface, but politicians who wear it some how not only survive but get reelected 🤡🌎https://t.co/ihe7pnIg2h — Mike…

At a time when political correctness is at an all-time popularity, it looks like the state of Massachusetts could soon be making a major push to inhibit cursing. Specifically, a Boston Democrat has proposed a state law in order to penalize those who use the “b-word” (bitch) in a derogatory way against another person. If you’re interesting in understanding just how someone will be penalized, it appears that there are two sentences which if added would add fines and other penalties for various other offenses. “A person who uses the word ‘bitch’ directed at another person to accost, annoy, degrade…

One unfortunate homeowner’s basement has transformed into something like out of an Amityville Horror movie. Nick Lestina is a Bagley, Iowa resident.

The event occurred when a security guard named Manoj Kumar, who was working at a hospital in Chandigarh, India, noticed the wheelchair moving. The wheelchair appeared to be moving around outside the building…

It appears she blamed her boyfriend for cheating and apparently at…

It seems like Halloween is continually becoming more controversial and difficult to enjoy with each passing year. Now we’ve not only had parents petitioning to change the date of Halloween, but it looks like creationist Ken Ham is suggesting people scare children on Halloween by threatening them with “eternal damnation.” “One way you can make the most of this once-a-year opportunity is by giving gospel tracts to children and/or their parents, along with candy and treats,” he wrote on his website. This includes items you can purchase through Ham’s own store, including fake $1 million dollar bills that he claims…

There’s been many controversial movements recently aiming to move Halloween away from its traditional October 31st date.

The announcement for National Trick or Treat Day was revealed in a press…
