A woman in Kentucky is upset after buying a packet of “fun straws” for her three year-old daughter at Wal-Mart. Why? Because in her mind, two of the straws look remarkably like male genitalia, or as the woman describes it in her interview with WSAZ news, “the male private area.” What do you think?
After complaining to Wal-Mart, the woman, Andrea Bailey, reported that the retailer was, “very rude to me.” After WSAZ news contacted the company, they issued the following statement:
“At Wal-Mart we take customer questions and concerns seriously. After being contacted on this matter, Wal-Mart pulled the product in question from our shelves and is investigating the claim. Of course, our customer is welcome to return the item for a refund, if they would like.”
The product is now “under review” by Wal-Mart. What is not yet under review is: A) Why WSAZ news can’t find any stories better to cover than this one, and B) why does this woman see the shape of a penis and testicles so easily in everyday products such as straws?

Could be a D, or a cameltoe-straw, but its probably just another unlicensed Grimace knock-off…
