Tacky or timely? "Sexy Ebola" costume for Halloween

The regular "Ebola" costume  evidently wasn't tacky enough, so now we have a company selling a "Sexy Ebola" costume.

You know, because nothing's more enticing than a deadly disease.

"As the deadly Ebola virus trickles its way through the United States, fighting its disease is no reason to compromise style," reads the Brands On Sale description for this timely if tasteless get-up. "The short dress and chic gas mask will be the talk of Milan, London, Paris, and New York as the world's fashionistas seek global solutions to hazmat couture."

It goes without saying that a garment revealing this much flesh wouldn't protect you from a mosquito bite, much less a dreaded virus.

But wait, there's more. Brands On Sale helpfully reminds you that they have a guy's Ebola suit available as well: "Ending plague isn't the endeavor of a single woman, so be sure to check out our men's Ebola Containment Costume for a great couple's costume idea."

Does this seem like a great idea to anyone?
