WTF?

The WTF moment being not so much the removal of the painting but the fact that the complaints, from *men* included "Some said the picture would upset women".

Not women complaining.
No, MEN complaining that Ladies would be Upset by a rather vague drawing of MALE FLESH.

OH NOES! Quick quick, I'm hyperventilating at the very THOUGHT, someone loosen my stays and fetch my smelling salts and embroidery! Call for my carriage, I must be taken home before my tiny mind (assuming I have one) collapses entirely!

Seriously, What The Fuck?
Have we slipped back a century or two and no-one told me? Who ARE these men? Why do they still exist? Are they on day release?

PS on an entirely unrelated note, I hope none of you Englanders are on fire or getting smoked out

Hmm - the Bit plot thickens
Although feeling rather cheated since offending article exhibits NOTHING but ribbage! (And not red ribbed arousers either)

It's tempting to go down there with a thick marker and give him a huge stork-on, problem is they'd then be able to claim £1200 from the insurance and get even more publicity. Perhaps I should just go down late at night and draw a cock on the woman (well, on the glass in-front of it) they put in the window to replace mr. floppy.

i think you must. and now i'm thinking:

Hermaphroditic porn. Starlets with both organs. You should see the box, beautiful chicks with dicks that put mine to shame.

sorry. too many viewings of 'clerks'.
