    "I am probably the most progressive liberal person in the world and I am personally offended by the sign,"
    I think that she thinks the world revolves around her and that the sign must be refering to her.

    I personally think the sign is great. Have of marketing is getting people to remember your name so when conflict is created over a funny pun it only helps the store. Heck, I know I'd be curious enough after seeing that sign to wander in and see what products are around for "High Maintanence Bitches"

    Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
    Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
    Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
    Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
    Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.

    Similar to Louis's post from above, although this one is for real:


    (Yeah, not really getting the "spoil" tags working, either, among other things.
    Mods, feel free to fix them if you'd like. Thank you.)

    Nobody makes a big deal out of this one. Is that one sooo much worse than this one ?

    edit: ok, the spoil tags did work... but strangely enough, they do NOT work in "preview post", while other tags do, thank you very much. Oh well.
    Therapy helps, but screaming obscenities is cheaper.

    Well, that's a traditional suet based pudding widely inflicted on British schoolchildren. It's name has clearly corrupted many millions by inducing giggling. This uncontrolled mirth in the young was directly responsible for the moral weakening and consequent fall of the British Empire.

    Mind you, I wouldn't be at all surprised if someone had tried to ban it for something other than health reasons.
