‘F*cking tasteless’ Company release bound and gagged Kim K costume

When news broke that Kim Kardashian had been held at gunpoint in her Paris apartment last week, there was a distinct 'she had it coming' air among many pop culture commentators.

And while late night chat show hosts and stand-up comedians made jokes at Kim's expense, one costume company in the States was busy creating a costume which gave an insight into the horror experienced by the mother of two.

Featuring a white robe, black wig, '$4 million ring', sunglasses, fake gag and rope, the Parisian Heist Robbery Victim Costume Kit has come under serious fire from members of the public who wasted no time slamming the company for their tasteless creation.

While they don't specifically reference Kim in the website description, there is no doubting who the costume is based on.

"She has devoted her life to promoting American decadence, youth, and hedonism but all that flashy living caught up with her one night in Paris when armed men bound her, stole her jewelry and her peace of mind," the site explained.

"This Halloween have some fun with pop culture and dress just like the Queen of Social media with our sensational "Parisian Heist Robbery Victim Costume" Costume."

Sickened by the company's attempt to cash in on Kim's ordeal (you're looking at a $69.99 price tag, if you're interested) members of the public have voiced their disgust online.

"This costume is not only f**king tasteless but completely disrespectful of a very serious situation that not only Kim Kardashian has experienced but countless other women and men," wrote one.

We're with them on that one.
