Indignant Again!

Pet Peeve of the Day: Filth. Everyone knows I’m no prude. But I do rail against inappropriate images in our media that children and other sensitive types may be inadvertently exposed to. I was aghast, aghast I tell you, when I opened up today’s Rocky Mountain News, and there on the cover of the Spotlight section was an “art” image of a woman wearing a pearl necklace and a slinky black dress, suggestively holding in her hand a fleshy-colored rod sprouting something from the tip. Don’t get that dress dirty, lady! The article it relates to has something to do with losing weight in order to please your man. I feel this is wildly over-the-top, even for our sex-crazed liberal-bias media, and I would complain to someone (other than you guys) if I had the energy. There is just no call for this!
(Sorry that the image got cut off on the right side – my scanner isn’t quite big enough to capture the whole cover.)
Latre.

Thank goodness you didn’t open up to the department store ads. You might have seen bras and panties.
And why does that carrot remind me of “Fast Times At Ridgemont High”?

Yellojkt’s comment reminds me: I was at Target today, and I noticed a sign, posted on a display of the named items, advertising “women’s panties.”
I am so behind the times, I wasn’t aware there was another kind. (I suppose they meant to distinguish between panties for adult women and those for girls…but really I’m just typing this to include the word “panties” yet again, just to mess with which searches lead to Flasshe’s blog.)

As I’ve noted previously, I could build an online photo collection of wacky signs – and probably ought to, one of these days. Meanwhile, here’s a link to a place which – well, just imagine yourself unexpectedly happening on the signage for this section of the local pharmacy…

OK, here’s a pic I uploaded to my secondary Google account
