A mother in Kentucky bought a package of "fun straws" for her three-year-old daughter at her local Wal-mart. But when she got home, she found that some of the straws were shaped like hearts, some were just plain squiggly, and one could have passed as a rocket ship, had Andrea Bailey not known any better. "There are two of them that are shaped like the male private area."
She's pissed. And not because she spent $1.69 on the straws. No, she's worried about the effect that inadvertently sucking on a penis straw might have on other, older children.
She got her local news station involved and they want to know what you think, penis or rocket ship? (Except they substitute "male sex organ" for "penis.") Obviously if "penis" is a bad word, penis straws are going to be a bad thing, but we think a straw is what you make of it. We actually see a catheter going through a penis. And that doesn't make us want to drink out of it. Not at all.
