Adult Care Bear and Balloon Boy Among Popular Costume Searches

by Caleb Johnson on October 30, 2009 at 02:30 PM


If you've ever dressed up for Halloween, you've probably bumped into someone at a party or bar who's wearing the same costume as you. From experience, we can say it's a deflating feeling. While the holiday is practically upon us, you might want to quickly scan this list of popular costume searches before you head out into the night.

What costumes are in this year? Well, CNET News reports dead celebrities, anything sexy, and cartoon characters are among October's more popular Web search terms -- with Michael Jackson and Balloon Boy taking the top honors. Judging from that list, you'll see plenty of people Saturday night who are wearing single gloves and fedoras, skimpy sailor uniforms, and sexy Care Bear suits. Now, that's truly scary! In case those costumes don't strike your fancy, there are geekier options out there, too.

But no matter what route you take, remember this: there will be embarrassing photos taken. (Alcohol and costumed adults make it an inevitability.) So, make sure you brush up on some tech etiquette before tagging those images on Facebook. Trust us, your friends will thank you later. [From: CNET News]
