Not the same impact true but I can't think how anyone in their right mind could think this was a good idea, especially 2 seemingly well educated young people. My eldest is that age and he certainly doesn't think it was an acceptable thing to do.
I wonder what the response would have been had they turned up dressed as Auschwitz crematoria. They weren't born then but would that have been a sufficient excuse to mock such awful events?
Do I think they should be severely punished and kicked out of uni? No. Do I find the thought that anyone (other than an Islamic extremist or anarchist) would find this acceptable behaviour worrying? Yes.
Anyway I dare say they'll think twice next time they enter a fancy dress competition...
