Last Friday, Edward Snowden and his girlfriend, Lindsay Mills, triumphed over everyone’s ironic couples costumes by dressing up as the 90s’ favorite fugitives, Carmen Sandiego and Waldo (last name unknown).

Get it? Edward Snowden is wanted by the United States for perpetrating the largest disclosure of secret government materials in American history, revealing a widespread mass-surveillance program that indiscriminately collected people’s private data around the world, spied on foreign leaders, and bypassed the warrant process. And Mills, his gorgeous ballerina girlfriend, joined Snowden in his self-imposed exile in Russia.

Everyone gets it, and couples everywhere wish they had a compelling, internationally known backstory to their costume choices.

(Given that the United States has promised to apprehend Snowden should he return to U.S. soil, one can safely assume that the J. Edgar Hoover building was added with Photoshop.)
