Penis Shaped Lollipop Sparks Criminal Investigation
Here is the offending product. Its a lollipop in the shape of a penis!
There’s a penis-inspired uproar in Austria and it’s going down because of the actions of a cheeky prominent supermarket chain. Recently the discount grocery chain Tedi has become under investigation for selling pink penis-shaped lollipops. This could prove to be a long, hard battle for the retailer. According to politicians in Dortmund, the playfully phallic candy might not be lawful, since they “exceed borders of good taste in today’s society.” Apparently the Austrian authorities haven’t heard Lil’ Wayne’s hip-hop hit, “Lollipop:”
For me, Lil’ Wayne is as good a barometer as any for what should be considered society’s boundaries of good taste. Perhaps the supermarket chain should use this song/video in court as a defense tactic.
Maybe shaping penis enlargement pills like little pink penises could prove to be a savvy marketing strategy? I suppose, though, that some penis pill customers might not be as comfortable as others with putting little pink penises in their mouths. In any case, more things should be shaped like penises. So many things in our culture are extraordinarily phallic, so why not stop beating around the bush and render more things with explicit penile, cock ‘n’ balls characteristics, and in shocking pink, no less?
Regardless, I think the Austrian politicians need to lighten up and get with the times. After all, Austria was the nation who produced this slightly disturbing Playstation III ad, where a man’s penis has conveniently been replaced with a thumb for improved game-play:
There is something wrong about this ad!
