andrewkaye said...: Hahaha! Those candy makers are such jerks. :); August 30, 2008 9:03 PM
leesmiley said...: I actually sell those in my store. What kills me is not only that the candy looks like deformed male genitalia, but also that Hannah seems so damned happy about it. Just looking at her facial expression (particularly the position of her mouth) makes me want to pull the stuff off the shelf and ship it back with a big WTF on the box.; August 31, 2008 12:24 AM
Lisa Iriarte said...: Disney has a habit of this. I don't know what it is, and I'm sure there are other companies with similar product issues, but I live near Orlando and frequent the shops at Disney and there are constantly products being pulled because of something about them that looks inappropriate after the fact. I own a copy of the recalled "Little Mermaid" cover for the video, and "The Rescuers" with the quick scene of, I believe it was, a naked woman in a window that the characters fly by. This is not because I collect such things, mind you. It's because those were the editions I happened to have acquired for my kids and I was informed about the weirdness afterwards. :); August 31, 2008 9:04 AM
Ingrid said...: OMFG...thank you for the laugh this morning.; August 31, 2008 12:10 PM
Marian said...: I'm so naive. I thought that was a guitar.; August 31, 2008 4:27 PM
Rose Pressey said...: Wow. How did they not see the resemblance before shipping these out.; August 31, 2008 5:42 PM
Jennifer A. Ray said...: Oh my. I can't believe they didn't realize it.; September 1, 2008 1:41 PM
Hélène Boudreau said...: Who makes flesh coloured candy? That's just weird.

The mind boggles...; September 1, 2008 2:46 PM
Travis Erwin said...: Wrong. That is just plainly wrong.; September 1, 2008 5:14 PM
Jessica said...: Oh, wonderful. LOL.:D; September 1, 2008 8:42 PM
S. E. Ward said...: Frankly, I'm more unnerved by the blue ones.; September 2, 2008 4:16 AM

the sebaceous funk said...: I have heard from artists that work for Disney that they are treated very badly and so they get what satisfaction they can from their dismal jobs.; September 2, 2008 5:33 PM
