Forget controversial “sexy” Halloween costumes.

Last week, Walmart’s website was marketing an entire “Fat Girl Costumes” section. The section included costumes such as female vampires, clowns and hippies for ‘plus-size’ adults.

It didn’t go over so well with the American public.

When someone tweeted Walmart with a screenshot image of the section, the criticism on social media intensified.

Other users on Twitter let the retail giant have it:

Walmart removed the section on Monday morning. A spokesman also addressed the controversy:

This never should have been on our site. It’s unacceptable, and we apologize.

This, as they say, is not a good look.
