How is it possible that anybody ever, anywhere, thought the "Capitol Collection" make-up was a good idea?
Who, exactly, wants to dress up as the decadent rich folks who tune in night after night to watch children locked in gladitorial combat?
All marketing connected with The Hunger Games disturbs the heck out of me. Which is fitting, but I have a hard time believing that the marketing folks who come up with it were going for that response. I think if I were Suzanne Collins I'd be lobbying to have all proceeds go to children's charities or something, to reduce the squick of having enabled it. But I suspect there's nuances I'm missing.
