4/21/2004: Lawn ornaments covered

Undertoad · 04-21-2004, 12:25 PM

Welcome to the G&L Garden Center in Hartsville Tennessee, where employees added sarongs to their lawn ornaments after a customer complained that all the nekkid bits were all visible and stuff. Concrete, sure, but still nekkid.

But the last laugh is with the Garden Center, as all the attention has sold them a ton of lawn ornaments.

Shouldn't the complaining people just shop somewhere else instead of trying to make everyone else conform to their Puritanical whining?

In fact, they should start their own lawn ornament store, and just sell clothed ornaments to begin with. I'm sure they would be fabulously successful.

You know what?

People are fucking stupid.

it's really quite pathetic what some people will do for a (ahem) rise these days.

Didn't some Saudi dress up his garden statues in Beverly Hills a few years back?

It adds a very Ashcroftesque touch to any garden decor.

I hate all this political correctness shit that has been going on for a few years now. We cant have naked lawn ornaments because heaven forbid someone see some stone boobs. We have to change the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney Land because the Pirates chasing the ladies is no PC (but we can leave in the auctioning of the "wenches"). I hate that so many people are willing to get offended over the smallest things. Get a fucking life people, everything doesn't need to be about how you feel about something.

Sorry, I'm done with my rant now.

Someone called the police to report a watchdog tied out in the August sun, with no water, at the Garden Center near here.
It was concrete.

Elspode · 04-21-2004, 10:57 PM

Yeah, but were it's balls showing? That's what is really important.

Relisnhoj · 04-22-2004, 12:26 PM

I would like to know where it states that people should be shielded from being offended. I saw a rude T-shirt on a customer today, should I threaten to sue him for offending me? No, that's life and people need to learn to deal with it.

I wonder what these objecting prudes do, when they tour places such as Museums with Greek statues? .. visit Bali or Indian temples full of carvings in cavorting copulation .. see animals indulging in very public displays of rampant sexuality .. (Daddy! What's that big red thing on that dog??

) .. they must swoon in horror and have to go cleanse their infected minds ..

As someone has said .. ''Puritans are people who constantly suspect, that someone, somewhere, is actually having fun .. ''
