Nowadays, the top prize for a Halloween costume competition doesn't necessarily go to the scariest creation. It often goes to the most inventive.

Or, in this case, the most inventively topical.

"My friend needed a list minute Halloween costume," wrote Reddit user u/MrRicardo in Reddit's r/pics sub. "I think I delivered!"

We think it's fair to say they did indeed deliver:

65,000 upvotes on that creation and counting.

Banksy would surely be proud.
