<\/p>\nOn my way home from work yesterday, I stopped at the store to buy Frosted Flakes and mail my write-in ballot, and while I was there I grabbed a cucumber and some watermelon, and a carton of milk and then I saw a Pettson & Findus children’s magazine with a free Findus mousepad on it, so I took 2 of those, and why is it I can’t just go in a store and buy the one thing I stopped there to get? And to top things off, I found the most unbelievably sexist crap in the candy aisle, you’re not even going to believe this.<\/p>\n
I still can’t decide whether I’m amused or appalled or both, and if both, to what degree.<\/p>\n

This is the illustration on the front of a bag of gummi candies shaped like breasts. It’s marketed by a company called BonBon<\/a> from Denmark, the ones that apparently run BonBonLand, but I couldn’t find much information about this particular candy on their website, although they claim to manufacture “the funniest candy in the world.” <\/p>\n Uh huh. Funny.<\/p>\n Very funny.<\/p>\n A bag of tit-shaped candy called Sillykoner (ho ho, get it? Silicon!) with pieces individually, or rather pairedly, named melons, onions, missiles,<\/i> and balloons<\/i>, as well as, for whatever weird reason, one shaped like a nose. HAW HAW! Stop! You’re killing me!<\/p>\n Strange that there were no bags of PENIS-SHAPED candy. Now, THAT would have been funny!<\/p>\n Apparently, I AM<\/b> still American where it counts, because appalled<\/b> is winning.<\/p>\n I am not amused.<\/p>\n (Sillykoner package front<\/a>, Sillykoner package back<\/a>)<\/font><\/p>\n Really Great Writing Out There Right Now<\/b>: Attack of the Pink Carnations<\/a><\/p>\n Interesting Linguistics Quiz<\/b>: The 34 Languages of McDonalds<\/a><\/p>\n
