Ohmagawd. Spencer's Gifts in the mall sells vibrators!

[Maddy McCall]

Their store motto is "Life's a party. We're making fun of it."

I took my young child by the Spencer's Gifts in our mall, and he actually saw a fake dog turd through the window. It was right beside the plastic vomit, hanging, oh, eight feet inside the store, but easily visible from the mall plaza.

My child is scarred for life. Nightmares of plastic turds and vomit will haunt him for eternity.

I am thinking of sueing Spender's Gifts for actually selling these so-called "gag" items. Would anyone like to join me? We can make this a class action suit, for all of the many impressionable children harmed by looking inside the door of a Spencer's Gifts shop.

Just sign on this thread, and I'll have my lawyer contact you.

(Next month I'm going to sue Big Daddy's on Bourbon Street for having a strip club across from my hotel room. The gall of those people!)

1. I love Spencer's!

They have a nice collection of "Asses of Evil" t-shirts and ceramic animals doing it doggy-style :D

[Maddy McCall]

4. So, are you signing up for the class action or not?

Those asses shirts harm the CHILDREN! And don't even mention "doggy style!" My son might read your post!

;-)

[cynatnite]

5. Is it mixed animals?

cats & dogs, birds & squirrels, etc...

Oh, how society keeps falling

:rofl:

[cynatnite]

2. They sell some wild stuff in that store...

Anyone outraged about it?

waiting...



waiting...



waiting...



didn't think so.

:rofl:

[Maddy McCall]

6. Have you seen the hopping penises? Have you? HAVE YOU?

Outraged is only HALF of what I feel. The CHILDREN!!

;-)

[cynatnite]

12. I'll go tomorrow so I can get outraged.

:rofl:

[Maddy McCall]

13. Be sure you take your children so that you can start a movement...

a "protect the children" anti-Spencer's movement. Let me know, and I'll donate time, money, and outrage to your movement.

LOL!

[TankLV]

20. And I'll be sure to laugh at a diabetic while I'm at it too, like some

other poster on DU here, while his tubes are ripped out because it's "no big deal" apparently!

Oh, the children! indeed.

[Maddy McCall]

22. LOL.

Gotcha. ;-)

[cynatnite]

36. Should I buy one?

:scared:

Maddy's frog is still freaking me out.

[TankLV]

17. I LOVE those things!

I almost forgot about them until you brought it up (I just said "brought it "up" - heh heh heh!)

I want one!

[Maddy McCall]

43. They are on the shelf by the "fart in a can"

:D

[MnFats]

3. ummm, more power to them?

someone who might enjoy one but wouldn't dream of going into a sex toy store now has access. way to go, I say.
(this screen ID highjacked by Jocylen Elders. MnFats has no comment.)

[Maddy McCall]

8. Well, I would NEVER own one of those things.

My CHILD might find it and think it's a dangerous torpedo!

;-)

[jobycom]

7. Sue them? I want to thank them for making me the way I am!!!

I learned as much hanging out at Spencer's in Edgewater Mall as I did in high school! That's not saying much, this was a high school in Mississippi during the Reagan era.

[Maddy McCall]

9. So did I!

When we used to go to the Metrocenter in Jackson, my brother and I headed straight for Spencer's. And I visited the one in the Slidell mall not long ago. Guess what it was crowded with. Kids. Even couples with kids, looking at stuff and laughing.

Oh, wait. I forgot. I'm outraged!!! ;-)

[jobycom]

32. Did you post about

the parents and the kids? It's a tradition these days at DU.

[serryjw]

10. If the worst think your son ever sees

is plastic turds and vomit ...He will grow up fine. We need to choose our battles.Why is he looking at a store window that is obvious for adults?

[Maddy McCall]

11. Hell, he goes in Spencer's with me.

There's a section of the store, in the back, where we won't go, but in the front, mostly all that's there is gag gifts.

[oregonindy]

14. and here shows the puritanical roots of our beginnings.

pretty please tell us you're joking.

[TankLV]

23. They really have to?

Umm kay!

[Maddy McCall]

24. You don't know me because you're new.

Welcome to DU! :toast:

Of COURSE I'm joking. :hi:

[oregonindy]

27. awesome.....inserting funny bone chip now. :)

[TankLV]

15. You DO mean "personal massage devices" don't you?

So what is the problem - they are used for back rubs and neck rubs!

I can't even imagine what you could be alluding too!

[Maddy McCall]

16. LOL

It's about the CHILDREN. Don't change the topic!

[incapsulated]

25. They are perfectly shaped for use...

In the crooks of arms, behind knees, under your feet. Normal places people want to massage. What some sickos do with them I don't want to know about!

[chelsea fc]

18. Nasty store

I would never take my son to a store like that. I'm a pretty liberal guy but when there are post cards with naked women that are over 500lbs thats where I draw the line!

[Maddy McCall]

28. LOL!

:rofl: I've seen those.

I grew up in the 70s. I guess things were just less tightly-wound then.

[Neshanic]

19. Some have Kinkade winter snow scenes on them.

[TBreeze]

21. Also...

Beware of the Ozzy Osbourne bobble-head dolls. Those things are evil. :evilgrin:
:rofl:

[Maddy McCall]

30. LOLOLOLOL!!!

Hahahahaha!

[Der Blaue Engel]

53. The hopping Ozzy bobble-headed penises are even more evil

:rofl:

[MnFats]

26. how come this thread got the attention of so many newbies?

you're on the watch list, kids! The thought police are keeping tabs!


but welcome to DU anyway...we're all on somebody's list...

[TBreeze]

29. if by newbie

you mean low post count, maybe because it's a funny thread? :shrug:

[Maddy McCall]

34. It's probably because it's a laid-back topic and everyone feels...

comfortable posting in it...and everyone has been to Spencers.

:hi:

[Hardrada]

48. Or Spenders.

Freudian typo!! I go to both places.

[MnFats]

52. Of course it is! I was making a hilarious joke!

you may feel free to laugh now...

[JNelson6563]

56. lounge fodder does that

It simply confuses me when long time posters post in the wrong forum.

[FM Arouet666]

31. You must start immediate desensitization to save the poor tot..

The little lad must confront his fear, while he is still young. Failure to confront the horror envisioned in the mall window will undoubtedly contribute to mental illness later in life.

You must supply real turds and real vomit for him to play with.

On patrol in a most wretched mixture of vomitus and doggie doo, the plastic vibrator surfaces like the submarine in Hunt for Red October. Oh, the joys of childhood...... :puke:

[phusion]

33. Seems you forgot the

:sarcasm:

:)

[Maddy McCall]

35. I thought it would be self-evident.

After this crusade, I'm going to protest Mardi Gras because it isn't family oriented with all of those titties.

Oh... :sarcasm: ;-)

[Oeditpus Rex]

37. I've never been to Spencer's

Wouldn't even know where to find one.
But then, I live in an aluminum tube. And I masturbate. :bounce:

[REP]

38. You're Going to Hell For Knowing What a Vibrator Is

Double hell for exposing your son to plastic turds. Oh the humanity!

[Maddy McCall]

40. I'm scared for his future.

He no doubt will now be obsessed with turds. :cry:

[REP]

42. He May Even Discover His Own Penis Because Of Spencer's

How can you live with that??!!??!!1!

[cynatnite]

44. My son's known he's had one of those since he was six months old...

I don't get it. What's with the obsession, men? He won't leave the damn thing alone. :banghead:

[Maddy McCall]

45. Same with mine...maybe younger.

:D

[REP]

47. (Faint)

Probably exposed in utero to plastic vomit... for shame, for shame!

[Der Blaue Engel]

39. Hell, you haven't seen the Discovery Channel Store in my office complex!

They have an entire display composed of NOTHING but vibrators in the front of the glass doors that open onto the STREET, where ANYONE can see it!

And clearly, they are trying to LURE children inside with their "toys" and then whammo! Thrusting all of those VIBRATORS in their faces!!!11111

(The last time I bought a vibrator in there, the salesgirl picked one up and stuck it between my shoulder blades...I nearly fell on the floor laughing. When I saw their HUGH display of vibrators today, I wanted to go in and ask them, "Um, you DO realize no one uses those for shoulder massages, right?")

[Maddy McCall]

41. Well that's just great. I guess Discovery is now educating CHILDREN...

on topics that are not educational!

So, how much are those back massagers anyway? ;-)

[Der Blaue Engel]

49. Pretty cheap, actually

They have a nice rechargeable cordless wand for $15. :D

[Maddy McCall]

51. My shoulders are tense.

Might have to go visit Discovery store. :rofl:

[cynatnite]

46. umm...sounds like a place I need to visit...without the kids!

:rofl:

[Maddy McCall]

50. Only to buy a gag gift for a girlfriend, of course.

;-)

[MercutioATC]

54. Hell, even WalMart is selling vibrators now...

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

55. They Always Have

:shrug:

Back in the 70s it was the only place you could find them outside of sleazy adult joints (not like the nice couples-friendly joints nowadays). And the only kind they carried were those hard plastic ones that sounded as loud as an outboard motor in the dead of night.

No sense of history, people. No sense of history. :P

[tkmorris]

57. Sorry for hijack but it's bugging me

Is that a White's tree frog in your sig?

[Maddy McCall]

59. TK, I don't know what kind of frog it is...I know it's a tree frog...

but since it's been so severely photoshopped, I don't know what species.

Is that what you think it is?

[mainer]

58. Call them what they really are! "Neck massagers" n/t
