F'd Ad Fridays: This is NOT a new euphemism for "vagina"

But it probably should be.

Hmmm... it's not as snug as I had hoped.
This is an actual product.




It's a novelty one, obviously, but you can buy them online.

Complete with dick jokes.

Photo of the Day

a picture of a white woman in a Santa cap posing with a Santa Claus while holding huge guns
This undated image provided by the Scottsdale Gun Club shows a woman posing with Santa Claus and several guns at the Scottsdale, Ariz. club. Ron Kennedy, general manager of the gun club, says the business got the idea for the photo op last year when a club member happened to come in dressed as Santa and other members wanted their picture taken while they were holding their guns. He says people have used the photos for Christmas cards and Facebook posts. [AP Photo]
All right then.

I am not reflexively anti-gun; I have friends and family members who do target shooting, and I have family members who hunt for food, and, although it's not my scene, I'm pretty wev about it. I also respect that there are people who have ethical objections to gun ownership and hunting of any sort. This thread ain't about that debate.

It's about the fact that OMFG PEOPLE ARE POSING WITH SANTA WITH GIANT-ASS GUNS. Or, to be more clear, about an aspect of gun culture that has nothing to do with principled debates and everything to do with fetishizing deadly weaponry. Yikes.

Texas gun school spot may be the year's most idiotic ad

Everything's bigger in Texas. Even the assholes.



“If you are a socialist liberal and/or voted for the current campaigner-in-chief, please do not take this class,” Mr. Keller said in the ad. “You’ve already proven that you cannot make a knowledgeable and prudent decision as required under the law. Also, if you are a non-Christian Arab or Muslim, I will not teach you the class. Once again, with no shame, I am Crockett Keller.”
For some people, this kind of hate speech would be the kiss of death. But to this Texas gun instructor, it's just common sense:
“Why would I teach people who have sworn the annihilation of the United States and who can lie, cheat, steal and murder Americans in order to further Islam?” Mr. Keller said. “Why would I arm someone like that? Why would I enable them to carry a weapon legally? I don’t want to be a part of that. I’m sorry those flight instructors didn’t have the same hindsight to know that these guys were up to no good, and they shouldn’t be teaching them, and they should have refused.”
Where's his head? I think it's up under his gun...
The Texas Department of Public Safety is investigating if this warrants him losing his licence due to breaking anti-discrimination statutes.
