I was having a discussion this weekend with some friends this weekend about, "What will be popular for Halloween this weekend?"
Living in Baltimore, we said, "I bet people -not in this town - go as Ray Rice." GUys always like to dress up with girls, it's a current event,etc.
I knew though it would get negative reactions.
Some people view it as you are celebrating violence or women or minimalizing it for laughs.
The year michael jackson died, I dressed up as Michael. People got mad as one guy said, "Too soon, too soon." Others thought I was trivializing pedohilia.
Domestic violence isn't a joking matter - i kno w you didnt mean it that way - but some view it as you are joking about it.
