If you’re trying to decide whether to go trick-or-treating this year as either media phenom Lady Gaga or erstwhile fight attendant Stephen Slater, here’s a third alternative — oil-splattered BP rigger with a dead fish and wrench in hand. Pretty doggone clever, eh?
The outfit is the brainchild of New York-based Fun World, a costume-manufacturing company that has dubbed the getup the “Bad Planning” costume to fend off the trademark lawyers should they be attracted to the familiar green-and-yellow BP logo on the suit.
Nobody is expecting the oil company to send a deluge of cease-and-desist orders to the small costume company, though, as BP has enough bad press without stepping into a David-and-Goliath media mess with a little mom-and-pop costume company.
