Censorship At The Checkout: Rights Violation or Pandering to Parents?

Pangloss62 · 05-05-2006, 08:18 AM

They're not covering "poontang," by which I assume you mean vaginas. They are covering up Cosmo, Vanity Fair, National Enquirer, etc. I don't buy those magazines or consider them worthy of praise, I just think it's ludicrous to put placards over these traditionally visible checkout area products because a few Christo-mommies complain. If you were the publisher of National Enquirer, wouldn't you protest if, all across America, your product's cover (it's most vital attribute) was being covered up? I would. Why aren't these moms complaining about all the sugary, overpriced cereal boxes with cartoon characters smiling at stroller eye level? Because they are prudes.
