…FOR PORN!
(Watch the vid to get the joke.)
A local ad firm in Colorado Springs has nixed a bus shelter promotion for a touring production of the raunchy comedy Avenue Q because– are you sitting down? –the poster showed puppet cleavage.
And, I don’t know, that kind of view might upset some Puritanical old fuddy-duddy out there.
Right. Because maybe a poster like that would be found objectionable by, I don’t know, the sanctimonious Reverend Bubba Flavel in Porky’s II. Or the joy-killing Dean Vernon Wormer in Animal House. Or Dana Carvey’s lemon-faced Church Lady. Somebody of that temperament might get bothered by it. And the results of that could be… catastrophic.
Use your imagination, people! It could really happen!
Anyway, the cleavage in question belongs to Lucy the Slut, the lounge-singing hussy who comes perilously close to wrecking the uneasy, budding relationship between the protagonists Princeton and Kate Monster in what has to be the hottest muppet-sex scene in the entire history of live theater.
Adding to the galloping silliness of this decision, if someone is going to be shocked or offended by the poster in question, they would be well advised to abstain from the whole freakin’ performance altogether. In fact, perhaps they ought to move into some shack way up in the Rockies where the risk of any inflammatory imagery will be much, much lower.

J Coverman: Damn, he was the best one! ^_^
Actually, I think I might’ve alluded to Twisted Sister in a News blog entry about 2 years back about a Dave Chappelle vid.
Really, I do my best writing after huffing a bunch of turpentine.
That was my ringtone for a while when the show first came out.
I will never forget the day my phone went off in church…during prayer. That’s the last time my Mom guilted me into going with her.
