Reports have emerged that the sexy Ebola nurse costume posted on HalloweenCostumes.com is a hoax. It was apparently a sexy Breaking Bad costume photoshopped with a sales page to look like a real Ebola garb on sale.
Troy Eaves of HalloweenCostumes.com has explained that the company is not "providing, selling or profiteering whatsoever from anything Ebola-related."
Meanwhile, the sexy Ebola nurse costume posted on brands on Sale seems to be a legitimate product. The seller explains that "fighting the disease [Ebola] is no reason to compromise style. The short dress and chic gas mask will be the talk of Milan, London, Paris, and New York as the world's fashionistas seek global solutions to hazmat couture."
Brands on Sale has come under a barrage of criticism for fronting the sexy Ebola nurse costume.
Mother Jones writer Alex Park, who describes the sexy Ebola costume as the "Stupidest Halloween Thing Ever," notes that "In case you haven't heard, there's an epidemic raging in West Africa that's recently crossed yet another border and is bringing entire countries to the verge of collapse."
According to official estimate, about 10,000 people have been infected with the Ebola virus and nearlly 5,000 have lost their lives to the scourge.
The sexy Ebola nurse costume gaffe comes in the wake of a scandal involving a London West End pub, which was allegedly scheduled to stage an event named 'Ebola Saturday Night Fever.' The Scotch of St James has been forced to change the name of the event and render a public apology after it was accused of trivialising the Ebola crisis.
Pundits say the sexy Ebola nurse costume is just another one on a long list of inappropriate Halloween outfits that have hit the market in the past decade.
