Snapchat's Ghost As A Hobo (GoBo!)
Snapchat photos are supposed to be
as ephemeral as the ghost in the company's logo. But after "The
Snappening," when hackers dumped hundreds of thousands of Snapchat pics
purloined from a third-party app, the $10 billion company claimed it couldn't afford to secure its API. Spooky!
Comcast Customer Corpse
Attempt to cancel your Comcast cable service
and you may find your life slipping away the customer service
representative tasked with retaining your patronage. Such was the fate
of Ryan Block and Veronica Belmont in July, whose battle went viral
after Block posted an audio sample of the stress-inducing conversation on SoundCloud.
Uber Recruiter
Uber takes corporate espionage to a whole new level with Operation Slog. Undercover
agents are armed with burner phones to hail Lyft cars and a five-point
pitch to convince Lyft drivers to defect. This costume is a great
alternative if you want to play 007 super spy but can't afford the tux
rental.
#GamerGate
Sexism! Misogyny! Ethics! Threats of violence! Video games! It's GamerGate! This
year's hottest Internet dust-up combines all the worst aspects of
Internet culture with all the ugliest impulses of human nature (to
achieve maximum redundancy). And it makes a great last-minute costume to
boot! Cover yourself in rotten refuse and go! That's pretty much
GamerGate in a rank, festering nutshell.
Ello, The Social Network Of Mystery
Sure, you could be obvious and make a
black-and-white cardboard smiley face, but even the Ello logo is too
obvious if you really want to be the new social network nobody understands.
Instead, just dress entirely grayscale, including your "Hello, my name
is Ello" sticker tag. You'll be instantly cool at that hipster Halloween
party. Everyone will want to know you, even if they aren't sure why
