to be slightly uncomfortable at the display of this magnet in Scribbler?

[ilovevenice]

It's at the exact head height of my 8 year old who I managed to distract in time. Interested to know what you think...
[hope I've managed to attach the photo!]

I am less than impressed and would have commented.

Meh

There's always graffiti in the park/subways/toilets.

"It's for adults" and move on

Hmmm, supermarkets won't have choc at the checkouts, yet other places can display these at child height?

Not appropriate, and I am not usually one to worry about what is on sale where.

What happens in the soup aisle?

Our branch of Scribbler has a sign on the door saying something like "Many items in this shop contain adult humour and may be unsuitable for young children." Having been in there a few times, I just wouldn't take kids in there.

Our local Scribbler shop has a warning sign on the window saying that some of its products may be considered offensive - I wouldn't take a child in there even though I find a lot of their stock amusing.

"Many items in this shop contain adult humour and may be unsuitable for young children."

I take it back then, at least they are warning people!

Hmmm - will have a look for a warning next time I'm going past. I agree it's different if there's a notice but I obviously missed it. I wasn't horrified or anything - we live in London and I agree with Pantone that it's everywhere. But it was just the positioning/height and the particularly stark design/message!

I have no idea if every branch has this, and if there wasn't a sign then I think YANBU to find it all a bit inappropriate for a kid (there are lots of cards with swear words/sexual references on them too).

I wouldn't take a child in any branch of Scribbler regardless of signage, because I know the sort of stuff they sell, but they can't expect all their customers to know this!

I've stopped going in there full stop. I've seen the sign, but tbh, I don't find that sort of humour particularly amusing. I wouldn't fancy explaining stuff to 8&10 yo DSs.

Male chickens dear , male chickens

Cock soup anyone?

Yeah, YABU.

Difficult if the first time in scribble and you thought it was a clintons type place, but as above "it's for adults" and move along

If you've been in a scribble before then you'd know that there is bound to be something in there that could offend, it's the nature of the place.

I think its great, their "it's better to have loved and lost than live with a psychotic £&@": for the rest of your life" is one of the best cards I've seen

Many people do love cocks. Where else do you suggest they buy their "I love cock" fridge magnets?

You're like being racist against people who love cocks.

Nothing against cocks - promise!
I must admit I hadn't been there for ages and had forgotten all about the adult humour thing. Also not sure DS would have been satisfied with the "it's for adults" line - he tends to come straight back with another question! Luckily no problem this time but I suppose I just don't see the difficulty in putting this kind of thing on a higher shelf...
