Poor form costumes

I need ideas for an offensive halloween costume
Granted, there have been a number of askme's on halloween costumes, but I'm looking for something offensive, and these often depend on current events. Last year I went as a dying Steve Irwin, and I'd like to continue the poor-taste trend.
So far, I've got abortion doctor and suicide bomber. Other ideas?

Go as a Fat Inspector. Wear some sort of official garment (like a labcoat and carry calipers or a measuring tape that you can use to inspect people's fat. Also, a clipboard, and after meeting or talking to someone, write down their name and check off a box next to it marked "FAT".
Or, go as one of the WTC towers, with a model airplane embedded in a hat or wig.

I, for one, am going to go as the missing closing parenthesis from my last comment. Which hopefully only will offend me.

I might be going as "suicide" this year, with various methods attached to my body.

I'm going to alter one of the cutest ideas I've ever seen which was a mom used cardboard boxes to make herself a costume of the Empire State Building and she dressed her baby in a little gorilla costume. So when she held the baby it looked like King Kong was climbing up.
Instead you can dress up as a Twin Tower and have a baby dress up as a plane. If anyone asks about the other Tower, you can say it already fell.
That or Ann Coulter.

I think the most topical and offensive story of the past year would probably be the Michael Vick saga. Dress up as an Atlanta Falcon and carry around a stuffed dog on a noose. Guaranteed to shock. Go get 'em, tiger!

Here's what I was going to do, but AFAIK we're not going to the relevant party:
(1) Khaki shorts
(2) Khaki shirt with liberal amounts of red food coloring or dye splashed onto the front. Don't be shy with it.
(3) Floppy stingray dog toy.
Loosely sew the stingray to the shirt's chest and say CRIKEY and AWW WOT A BEAUT! a lot.
Also, I would have had a little sign that read "TOO SOON?"

KKK member. Blackface, put foil on your teeth, and then dress in outrageous hip-hop clothing and hit on white women all night. Child molester--make sure you carry a baby doll or one of those child-size dolls so you can fondle it periodically. Skinhead and/or Nazi. Dress up like an American soldier and carry around a brown baby doll painted with fake blood and its skull cracked open, add a turban to the doll for that extra shock touch!
I don't recommend using any of these ideas, but they're golden if you're simply aiming to be in poor taste and don't care whether someone is punching you in the gut.

Years ago, I had a waiter in a pub who was dressed as a bag of piss.
Big, clear bag covering most of torso (white shirt, black pants; nothing exciting clothes-wise); a bunch of plastic medical-looking clear tubing. Big bag full of...piss? Apple juice? He wouldn't say.

Pull a TIME. Wear a big mirror - when people ask what you're dressed as, tell them that you were trying to keep up with a history of really tasteless costumes, so decided to go as the most disgusting, offensive, odious person you know. When they ask "And who is it?" stand right before them, point, and say "You."

Is it too late to go as the Abu Ghraib guy balanced on a box? Because you could do him combined with Jesus -- just add bloody nail holes to your hands and feet -- and a Klansman if you make the hood right. Add a Hitler mustache for good measure. When things get quiet, spout famous lines from great speeches -- "Ich bin ein Berliner!" and "I have a dream..." and "Four score and seven years ago..." and so on -- but say them like you're Hitler.

Terri Schiavo. Get a gurney and have someone push you around. Make sure there is a balloon tied to your bedpost. Look at it occasionally, then look away--remember, it's just reflexive.

Was at a party once where a guy had on a shower curtain rod with a giant blue tarp hanging down from it. He was also covered in moss and sticks and had toy animals, people, boats and cars glued all over the place. He was really drunk and screaming alot all the while spraying other partygoers with a giant spray bottle.

Dressing as Cho would be more offensive than as one of the victims, though I'm not sure how you'd convey it. If I wanted an offensive victim costume I'd dress like a giant lampshade with a yellow six-pointed star pinned to it, maybe write a serial number down on the lower edge.
Rather than the priest with the attached baby, you could dress as a schoolboy (should be cheap-ish) and attach a stuffed priest's arm that looks like it's wrapping around your body and sticking down your pants. Strap a head with the collar on it to your back/neck (like it's giving you a hickey) if you want to get more complicated. Or even a whole mannequin (priestequin?) to your back if you're a glutton for punishment.

I once dressed as a blow-up fuck doll, made a mask out of the plastic face with the wide-open mouth. My girlfriend actually cut hers up and put it on as a suit, but mine wouldn't fit so I just wore a pink leotard and a big strap-on. Get the cheapest dolls you can for best camp effect. I think we spent less than $30 each. I don't remember if I actually got laid that night...

Here's a couple:
Once, several years ago, I was downtown on halloween. I saw this guy dressed as Santa Clause. WTF? I thought...nothing spectacular there. (I was behind him.) Then this cop comes up the street and pulls over, starts to get out. Then he stops, shakes his head, and gets back in the car. True story. WTF? I'm thinking, it's santa, stupid. Then the guy turns around. He was wearing an 18" black veiny strapon, with the cock sticking out of his zipper. I see that as the most badass costume ever.
Secondly, the one where you go as a priest, but you get kids clothes and stuff them, attaching the knees to your shoes, hands around behind you, head in your crotch, so you're totally a priest getting a hummer. That one's been seen, though.

Since you are a guy, I think you should shave your head, wear a super-short dress and cowboy boots, carry around a bag of Cheetos and some Red Bull and go as Post-Breakdown Britney.

Go as a stem cell. I went dressed in a red garbage bag and had broken up pieces of baby dolls stuck to it.

Dress as a Mormon, with a tie, a backpack, and a book. Witness to people.
