That must be some kinda getup!

The Kansas City Star said today that a grand jury had indicted three Johnson County businesses with obscenity. Two of the businesses were accused of selling obscene DVDs. Setting aside the question of what makes a DVD criminally obscene, the third indictment involved a Halloween store that "displayed adult costumes in places where minors could view them."
Is it pervy to wonder what kind of costume could be so sexually explicit that you couldn't even show the box on the shelf? Will those who bought this costume be monitored and arrested if they wear it "where minors could view them?" Was it sitting anywhere near the "chansaw maniac" or body bag costumes? Thank God those aren't illegal.
P.S.Marc found both the inditement and pictures of the costumes and has them on his website. I can't believe a blow-up snake coming out of your crotch endangers minors but see for yourself and judge. Thanks Marc.

Hey Jonathan. I wondered about that, too. Maybe it was an old-school Nixon mask. The horror.

I have links to the indictments and the pictures of the costumes on my blog. You'll laugh your ass off when you see them.
