Worst Costume Award: Boston Marathon Costume Creates Outrage, Death Threats

11/04/2013 6:27 PM ET | Filed under: Icky Icky Poo • Sad Sad • Twitter • Halloween • Violence

A woman in Michigan is feeling the heat right now, because of her poor poor decision to dress as a Boston Marathon victim for Halloween.

Not only was it in bad taste, but she posted a picture of it because she thought it was hilarious! Now, she's lost her job and is enduring the outrage of a world offended by such sensitivity — but the death threats she's getting go little too far!

What kind of woman would be so insensitive? If you guessed:

"The same kind of woman who would have previously posted a picture of her drivers license, which showed her full name and address."

You are correct!

Alicia Ann Lynch, 22, posted a pic of herself wearing her 'Halloween costume' on her Twitter account, and that backlash was swift and harsh, and people instantly found her full name and address — but just like Alicia, we think some of those outraged went TOO far with it.

We're talking death threats, here, which is way over the line!

Some internet users even found her parents and began harassing them!

This prompted an apology from Alicia's twitter account, among a deletion. She re-started it to apologize once again, as the death threats and threats of rape had not ceased.

Was Alicia wrong in her costume choice? Did she deserve some backlash?

Yes.

Did she deserve death and rape threats??

NO. Nobody EVER deserves anything like that!

It stoops to her level, and some even might think it blows right past it. It doesn't help the cause, and you aren't tough for doing it. Nobody scarred by that day wants to be represented by that mentality!

You don't have to forgive her, but you don't have to be awful about it!

I didn't get it at first. I thought she was pretending to have her period. Anyway, welcome to Generation Y. This is what we get: The Kardashians and this fool.

What's the big deal?! Even if it was in poor taste, why should that prompt death threats? It's a bunch of idiots getting butt hurt in a free world. People are too sensitive to think that it was Halloween costume. If you don't like it, ignore it. I actually like her costume, it was creative instead of the usual Miley costumes or the Snookie costumes.

Re: pollopicu – Exactly. I am happy that someone brought this up. No one should make a costume or joke out of people's injuries and much less people's death. That is heartless, insensitive, and just morally wrong IMO.

For some reason, and I may be wrong, but it usually seems like its the "beautiful people" that always seem to think they can do things like this with zero consequences.

oh am I ever glad the holiday where everyone just loves to get offended over everything, and pretend like they are Mother Teresa, is over. some people act as if she's endorsing behavior like what happened at the Boston Marathon… as if she is just as bad as the people who created the attack. well guess what? she isn't. all it is is a stupid Halloween costume. maybe it is in bad taste but oh well. save your anger and threats for the real scumbags of the world who do terrorist attacks and physically hurt and kill others, not this silly girl. oh but I guess it is easier/safer to actively persecute her than the real dangerous, evil people… society… *sigh*

Wow, that costume really caused an EXPLOSION of hate within the community. I bet that she was listening to Miley Cyrus' new album 'BANGerz' when she made this costume. She's really feeling the heat from this one. I'm honestly quite surprised one of those people in the back didn't photoBOMB here.

Make a joke of it, see the funny side. It might have been insensitive, just like this comment, but it's in the past now and you can't do anything about it so getting angry and upset over it is just foolish. Obviously, I would understand a victim or victim's family/friend getting upset, but for all of those who just heard about it, or saw it on the news. It's nothing for you to get angry over.

I could be wrong but… isn't halloween about bad taste? I mean, people dress up as the dead, the undead, horror characters.. this seem rather tame by comparison. Halloween is supposed to be SCARY.

this is f-ing ridiculous, this is just another form of bullying…is it a distasteful costume, yes, but really…all of this…its freedom of speech, you Americans are all about freedom of speech, but you never really let anyone have it…so what if its such a dumb costume, its her right to put it on if she wants!!! get over it!!!

I honestly dont see wha the big deal is, people are too sensitive and make the U.S look like a weak nation. Get over it life goes on and if it were me who dressed like this no way would I apologize to anyone if you dont like it then look the other way. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! cant wait for next years ideas.

where is the outrage for those guys who dressed as trayvon martin and painted their face black with a gun shot wound. im not saying all white people are just plain insensitive unless it comes to their own people, wait a minute … yeah that is what im saying.

What's funny is people are too stupid to realize when they are being hypocritical. Dressing up as something slightly offensive is nowhere near as bad as turning around with their faux moral outrage simply because they are a loser with nothing better to do with their life and sending out death threats. It's funny, the "backlash" is ALWAYS a thousand times worse than wearing a stupid costume. Death threats, harassing her parents,etc..ROFL

Candace Cameron Bure Shows You How To Deal With Body Shamers With THIS Classy Clapback!

Good thing Candace Cameron Bure was raised right -- and dealt with body shaming in more than one very special episode!

The Fuller House star posted a sweet pic with her 18-year-old son Lev (above) on Instagram last week, and rude-as-hell follower wrote:

"All that excersizing, and you still look like you weigh more than your husband, did you change your diet?"

Wow. Such a troll question.

But instead of keeping the focus on her own body, the once and future DJ deftly put the spotlight where it belongs -- on this poor commenter. She wrote back:
