The is advertising a sex shop with the words 'stop vegetable abuse.'

If they're such innocent and sheltered prudes, how could they make the connection?

That just sours my pickle.

i sense another pickle incident in the making

I sense a tinyurl coming up

penis

I think it's funny.

If its so subtle that its hardly noticeable then WTF are they so upset about? Its not like younger kids would get it anyway.

So, not everything's bigger in Texas then. . .

Okay, who here hasn't tried it with a cuke at least once?

Well, I think people are just upset that a company advertising sex toys would use a cartoon-like character.

Think of the children!

Brings me in mid of the law that prohibits cartoon characters on alcoholic beverages.

"If the cucumber turns into a pickle then we know she's real."

For real, making that connection is a stretch. They must be some nasty nasties to even get the joke...

Is there no anti-abuse advocacy campaign for sharpies, hairbrush handles, markers, etc?

Toshiro Mifune's Letter Opener: To err is human; to pickle, need brine.

And how many years have you been saving that for just this opening, my dear?

MONSTERTRUCK: cuke


/hawt

Also the expression on the cucumber's face is priceless.

their video ad is even better. link at bottom of article.

clearly, grocery stores should not be allowed to sell cucumbers anymore. some good ole texans will surely run those smut peddlers out of town.

Pickle Thread

"How many of you have wondered what would happen if you licked Yoda?

No one?

Okay. Okay. How many of you have wondered what would happen if you licked Yoda, in either a drunken or high state while watching Attack of the Clones, because that's the only way you could tolerate the bad acting?

After this wonderful nugget of a question popped into my head, an avalanche of questions began rolling in my mind.

Would I get the same psychedelic feeling that people get from licking a toad?

Would I gain Jedi powers?

Would warts form on my tongue?

Would Yoda get turned on, light up his "other lightsaber," and say "Long time, me love you?"

Also, what does Yoda taste like?

Well thanks to Lay's Dill Pickle Stax potato crisps, I now know the answer to one of those questions. Apparently, Yoda tastes like dill pickles. However, this surprised me because I thought he would either taste like the swamp water of Dagobah or Bengay.

What also surprised me was the fact that the Lay's Dill Pickle Stax potato crisps are actually good, if you like dill pickles.

It doesn't have a very strong taste like eating an actual dill pickle, but I think it would make a great replacement in your sandwich. Just crush a few of them and sprinkle a layer on your sandwich. Mmm...Yahtzee!

Poor Yoda. From his look on the Lay's Dill Pickle Stax container, I can tell he doesn't look too happy that his dill pickle secret is out.

Unfortunately, as all celebrities find out, having no privacy and having your secrets being told is the price for fame.

I'm surprised Yoda didn't sense this invasion of privacy coming. Oh wait, that's right. Fame is a part of the Dark Side. "Hard to see the future is. Cloudy is the dark side."

Well I'm not ashamed of my unibrow, so Yoda shouldn't be ashamed that he tastes like dill pickles, because it could've been worse. He could've tasted like cigarettes, alcohol, heroin, and biatch, like Courtney Love does."

/marvo

That's hilarious!

There's nothing that isn't offensive to someone. One company I worked at frankly ignored complaints that someone was offended by something.

/Ok, we'll consider your comment, buh-bye..

Is is Georgia that's outlawed the sale of sex toys?

Also, numerous states and municipalities outlaw things they deem to be "precursors" to drug manufacturing or potential drug paraphernalia?

Why hasn't any enterprising noodnicks started campaigns to ban apples (as they can be made into bowls to smoke weed) etc?

I'd love to see a Phelps-like campaign to ban the sale ofarkes (or any other potential dildo) on moral grounds just to shed a light on the absurdity of the existing laws . . .

farkes?

Wrote "cukes."

Ban cukes.

Weird filter in action . . .

valeran: Think of the children!

Oh, Barf.. Screw the children, I don't really care. Children are neither that delicate, nor smart enough to "get" it. People always make the excuse that you must be against children if you allow "x", or "y". Bullcrap - That's an excuse so that parents won't have to properly supervise.

Toshiro Mifune's Letter Opener: Gyrfalcon: And how many years have you been saving that for just this opening, my dear?

It's like "Blackbird."

I was only waiting for this moment to arise.

You are now my favorite person of all time. have a cookie

I relish this billboard.

Shoot, I don't see how this could be the slightest bit problematical. Texas is the home of 'bidness, this is 'bidness, nothing stands in the way of 'bidness. They are good capitalist republicans down there in Texas, and if their cheerleaders have to use cucumbers instead of proper, John Holmes sized sex toys, then I say, slap 'em with an illegal restraint of trade lawsuit so fast it will make their heads spin!

Free Enterprise, it's what made the USA great right? What's good for GM is good for America!

/Hm, maybe be time to adjust my medications....

MrBentor: There's nothing that isn't offensive to someone. One company I worked at frankly ignored complaints that someone was offended by something.

I worked at a chinese restaurant and we would play Grateful Dead over the speakers. One day a woman complained about "Casey Jones." No, we didn't turn it off. Probably because she used her kids as an excuse.

/we were terrible waiters

If chickens have PETA, Why can't sex shops save veggies? Equal rights my arse.

It's a billboard. We can let children view alcohol ads on tv, radio, magazines, etc., but slap on a scared pickle with a small sexual innuendo and parents get all uppity like they're waving the dildo in front of their kids faces.

If kids really wanted to know what it meant, I suggest they go into their mom's night stand and open the box labeled "Better than my husband will ever be."

Oh_Enough_Already
Is is Georgia that's outlawed the sale of sex toys?

I don't know about GA, but the great state of Alabama will not allow the sale of Buzz Lightyear implements.

Texans: your vegetables offend them.
I suggest replacing the billboard with an automated one, featuring a cowboy using a giant black dildo. As long as the dildo has "God bless Texas." written on it, they'll be fine with it.

But what about PEELED cucumbers?

You know, cuz they're already wet....

Nevermind.

Type_Hard: What do you call a female deer that lives next to a pickle factory?

A dill doe of course....

GA permits. I live 15min from a place called X-mart. Good shtuff, albeit pricey.

unimpressed

/mine's even bigger

bstubbs: Good shtuff



Sean Connery lives in GA?!

SUBBY! "Condoms To Go" and "Sara's Secret" are not really condom stores. They are the only place you can go around here to get a decent "marital aid". That's what the billboard is advocating, not condom use.

Their commercial that this billboard references is pretty funny.

A bit NSFW.

That's awesome!!! Seriously, this billboard was a stroke of genius. Nothing on there that "the children" would be able to get, humorous, witty, memorable. THIS is what adult advertising should be.

10 to 1 the "complaints" were one little old church lady and the store is using the publicity to increase their name recognition.

"Mine's bigger."



/but not as green and bumpy

I liked this one better, although the cucumber one did make me giggle.

queezyweezel: Ryker's Peninsula: I relish this billboard.

I don't know if that's going to cut the mustard.

You'll catch up.
