Nothing like a fresh breath of uptight air to balance out our state's rep as being full of left-wing nutjobs: Shoppers in Mission Viejo are lodging complaints with The Shops, a mall that includes the A/X Armani Exchange store. They're upset about the store's current window display, a giant red heart behind these words: "Give Love Get Love" and "Practice Safe Love Armani Exchange supports National AIDS Fund." What's wrong with that? Oh, wait--if we mention AIDS we must be talking about sex, right? Yes, kids, that heart is "made of hundreds of red, packaged condoms," explains the OC Register. It's not clear what the specific nature of the complaints are, just that they began last week, and have been shared between mall management and the store, who are not violating mall policy and may opt to keep the display up if they wish.

i hope they keep the display up. people are so uptight these days. :)
Frankly, while I'd chuckle at it, and not bother to complain, I'd rather not see a sign made out of condoms while I'm out shopping.
How come?
did you just answer your own question?
Ribbit?!
There's one of these signs at the Century City mall also if you want to check it out.
I really wish people with severe, crippling, inappropriately expressed and frankly, scary sexual neuroses didn't have so much influence on state or national policy. Conservative Christians need sex therapy, not validation for their deep rooted sexual dysfunctions and crippling fear of pleasure. Seriously.
Amen Ross.
No Doubt Ross...
Oops Gawd's a gonna smite ya fer that 'um Ross!
It's a wonder they breed.
Not really - Remember, the Lord commands them to have deeply unsatisfying coitus with the sole purpose of making a baby. Plus, female orgasm is the work of the devil, and male orgasm without immediate and severe self loathing is a sin. Or, didn't you read about Onan?
I think the Muppets wouldve been more enjoyable if they were all made out of rubbers.
