Some of the youngsters here are starting to do trick or treating.
It's not an Aussie tradition.
Children walking the streets at night, it's a fucking pedo's paradise.
I blame the big stores for selling Halloween merchandise in bulk.
It doesn't belong here. :-(
It's not a tradition here, either, but it is gaining popularity.
Again, thanks to marketing by the big shopping chains (yet another way of milking money from people, of course, especially since Guy Fawkes night is something of a dying tradition here..
As long as the kids are escorted by responsible parents/adults, I think the tradition itself is pretty harmless and fun for the kids.
Plus, it pisses of some religious groups.
