Vagina Crimes at The Onion - morning linkage

Kait sent me to a feminist website so I could follow a link to The Onion where this little gem was posted.


If Wanting To See Vagina’s is A Crime, Then I, your Honor, Am Guilty.

My only fear is that someone will think they’re serious.

Enjoy.

I’m out to buy paint for some touch -ups. Have to get this place beautiful and comfy before I start the full time daily grind - next week.

huh. It’s been a while since I’ve read something from the Onion that was as good as that. Wonder if I’ve been missing something

I’m with the wombat. I haven’t read The Onion in awhile because I wasn’t finding it all that funny.

Your right some idiot is going to read that while he’s sipping on his Pabst Blue Ribbon. He’ll be shaking his head and going “yeah, right on”.

I can’t even choose my favorite part.

Of the article.

“Pabst Blue Ribbon” pfft - kids these days.

I read this earlier - wasn’t about to be the first to comment on an article about Vaginas.

Call me a coward.

That was great parody. That some will be too obtuse to understand it for what it is is what makes it scary.

“As long as we’re at it, why don’t we put every man who desires to see the vaginas of unknown women on some kind of national database and make him go door to door telling all of his neighbors, “I like vaginas! I like vaginas!”

Good Parody is hard to come by. I will savor this, yet I will not be surprised when my wife tells me of such an argument being used in one of her court cases.

Jacob - ditto.

“Is not the pursuit of happiness a fundamental right promised by our nation’s own Declaration of Independence?”

Don’t think for a minute that argument will not be used by some idiot.

Pabst Blue what?

Mmmm, parody. Tasty :P

I too, shall paint. But not this wimpy touch-up stuff. I shall do whole ROOMS!

I gotta stop drinking so much coffee.

I thank Kait.

I thank you.

Most of all I Thank God for vaginas.

Some asshole will use that argument in court one day, that is what makes it a good parody.

What the other’s said.

This was an easy one.

Haven’t read it in a long time, thanks.

I should never have read this article prior to going to the farmstand.

There I was, minding my own business when a woman I barely knew came over and started to chat. I knew she was trying to determine if I was a vegan or vegetarian (I am neither) but I was not about to get into a meat-eating debate at a farmstand which caters to the anti-meateaters and sells tofu in (too) many different forms.

Last time I got into a debate at this place, I made some comment about how PETA stood for people eating tasty animals. I was being sauerkrautish, of course, but some of the vegans within earshot gave me some really, really dirty looks.

This time, I was being careful. As one should be in the land of the holy-rolling Amish and Mennonites.

So, there I was. Being asked about being a vegetarian. To which I answered something along the lines of how I thought it would be okay to be a vagitarian at some points while at other points needing some meat to satisfy those cravings. Oh, the looks.

Now they think I’m gay.

Wait until Herself hears about this one.

Thanks, Cooper.

The wheels of justice turn slow for the crank.

Now that was funny shit from the Onion. Of course, I wouldn’t worry about anyone taking the Onion seriously… unless they happen to also believe in those Vampire Rednecks that the Weekly World News has been writing about recently…

sauerkraut:

Your welcome. I think.

Doug: And I fell into a burning ring of fire.

Jason: You must have been posting as I was commenting.

You’d be surprised at what people believe Jason.
Maybe not.

The onion has been “hit and miss” of late. I did enjoy the article. Yeah for vaginas!
