Cursed is Haman AND Cursed is Mordecai?!

I was searching for Purim costumes on the Interweb and found that Party City (The Discount Party Super Store®) has a section devoted to Purim. How nice!

But then I read their "About Purim" page:
Purim is a Jewish holiday following the biblical story of Esther. It is a celebration of the freedom the Jews gained from King Ahasuerus and the judgment of conspirators Mordecai and Haman. [emphasis added] (Link to page)
DOH!

At least they didn't blur out the face (link) of "Queen Girl Child Costume".

They were fulfilling the dictum of getting drunk ad d'lo yada (until one can no longer tell) between Haman and Mordechai.
