The 'Psycho Ward' and 'Mental Health Patient' costumes for sale at Asda and Tesco have caused a rumpus - angering mental health charities etc. I'm not surprised - over 18 quid for essentially an orange boiler suit? Outrageous. I guess the boiler suit version could be recycled as 'Guantamano Bay warden' or similar.
These items are (I suppose) marketed as being essential garb for Halloween which to my mind has slowly become too commercial for it's own good, and therefore hyped up by marketing men which leads to more commercial activity encouraged by a younger public who do not yet have the cynical gene developed enough.
