Those are the smallest “rockets” I’ve ever seen……

Context requires work and intellectual honesty, and none of us really want it anyway. We want to get roiled up and post even more out-of-context references on our blogs (not a reference to this blog).

Maybe it’s just my experience in the news world, but what annoys me most about this clip is not the shape of the straw, but that the news team spends more time talking about how they investigated this, than the context of the story. Silly reporters, I don’t care what process you took to get this story.

Maybe the straws are like an ink blot test.

The Daily Show needs to have a segment about this, preferably Jason Jones reporting!

Ahhhhh…..now I know why I’ve had to return them all at work! I didn’t hear anything about this, until all these packages of straws came back to me to send out. I’ll have to tell my associate at work about it & we’ll have a great laugh at Wal-Mart!! This lady is probably one of the same ones who make us send back all the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit editions, because they’re too racy. It’s sad when you have to go to the desk to get a SI, because it’s going to corrupt little kids faster than you can say “Huh?”

She reminded me of sex ed teachers in movies, such as Teeth, who can’t even bring themselves to say the dreaded proper names of human reproductive organs.

That’s why they’re “fun” straws.

“The penis is evil. The penis shoots seeds, and makes new life, and poisons the earth with a plague of men, as once it was. But the gun shoots death, and purifies the earth of the filth of brutals. Go forth and kill!”
