Every year, a wide variety of old man and woman costumes are peddled in the weeks leading up to Halloween -- and this year's no different. Judging by the assortment we found, age-old stereotypes of the elderly are alive and well. There are gray wigs, liver spots and wrinkles galore. You can even buy Super Drooper Boobs (http://www.amazon.com/Forum-Novelties-Super-Drooper-Boobs/dp/B008H7R042) for $9.88, on Amazon.
So check out our photos of some of the old people costumes we came across and tell us what you think in comments. Do these costumes promote an offensive stereotype? Or are they just in keeping with the spirit of the holiday?
