Craigslist Ad Seeks Double Amputee For Star Wars Halloween Costume

A craiglist user in Brooklyn has placed an interesting request for assistance in the most brilliantly insensitive Halloween costume ever.

So this might seem strange and really offensive to some but hopefully someone will reply. I have always loved the scene in Empire Strikes Back where Chewbacca has to carry around a half constructed C3PO in a backpack because he hasn't reattached his lower body yet. For Halloween I would love to dress up like this. I am big enough and strong enough to both pull off the Chewbacca look and to carry around a lot of weight for the night. So basically I am looking for a double amputee (someone missing both legs - preferably at the hip) to accompany me as C3PO for the evening. We should meet ahead of time so we can work out the backpack/harness system. There are a few parties that I want to hit and I think we will be the hit of any event we attend. Anyone up for this?

Wow. We wish you the best of luck.

That's awesome. Amputees are people who like having fun, too, you know.
