Ever imagined a world where 6-foot Care Bears roam the streets going door-to-door begging for sweet treats while you're trying to watch the Phillies take a 2-to-1 lead over the Yankees in the World Series? That may be the scene tomorrow, based on the most popular online Halloween costume searches, according to frightening data put together by Hitwise.
You're also likely to see Michael Jackson and Balloon Boy getups, which held the No. 1 and No. 2 spots. But of the searches beginning with the word 'adult, 'adult Care Bear costume' came in third, right behind 'adult cat costume' (No. 1) and 'adult Snow White costume' (No. 2).
You're also likely to run into more themed pets than ever before. Compared to 2008, Hitwise noted a 97 percent increase in searches for "pet costumes." Better toss some Milk Bones in with those fun-sized Snicker bars.

The idea of six foot care bears wandering around scares me right to my core! Its like a horror movie how normal things can become so creepy! Theres certainly some weird adult costumes out there!!

Doesn't surprise me at all. We're a nation of compulsive spenders. We can't go a week without buying stupid shit "just because". All this money we throw around for Care Bear costumes, fake dog crap, plastic vomit, and so forth could go to the homeless.

It could go to the homeless, but that would be boring. Good job lumping everyone in one category based on the event that people are buying costumes on halloween! Oh no this nation is doomed!!
