Would you be offended by these hanging in a cubicle near you?

[baldguy]

They actually instigated an HR report in my office today.

[femmocrat]

1. No.

I think they are tacky, but not necessarily "offensive"... or am I missing something? :shrug:

[undeterred]

2. What are they?

[baldguy]

9. They're holiday lights in the shape of lobsters.

Some moran got it into their head that they were penises.

[undeterred]

11. Ribbed penises?

Would that be an evoulutionary advantage?

[otherlander]

12. If his looks like that...

he should probably see a doctor.
:hide:

[Fenris]

13. Perhaps I am an exception to the rule, but my penis looks nothing like a lobster.

[emilyg]

26. Lemme see - I'll be the judge of that.

[Quantess]

20. Seriously?

It's highly likely that HR is rolling their eyes at this, and concluding that the complainer is a bit weird.

[FloridaJudy]

47. I'm sure

[quip]

32. It is against regulations-- it's called the Penis Clause!

:rofl:

[mitchum]

3. What? They were deemed to be an anti-crustacean statement?

[Richard Steele]

4. On what basis could anyone claim to be offended by those? That seems very odd! nm

[MorningGlow]

5. Oh!

Bwaaaahahaaaaa... :rofl:

It took me a minute! Friggin' lobsters--who's got a dirty mind, then?

[rosesaylavee]

6. Lobster lights?

Did the offended party think this was part of the war on Christmas? What was the offending feature?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

7. That's clearly anti-Christacean

[femmocrat]

10. Applause! Brilliant! Duzy nominee here!!!

:applause:

[Robeson]

15. Nicely done....

...:-)

[undeterred]

8. Does Mary Tyler Moore work in your office?

I know she's picky about how lobsters are killed, and she might have thought those were real. :shrug:

[Patsy Stone]

14. Why do you hate crustaceans?

OMG. Do you work in Office Space?

[baldguy]

18. I only have six bosses, not eight.

[Patsy Stone]

25. Don't forget:

Best of luck.

[SPKrazy]

16. uhm,

i dunno
:shrug:

kinda weird, but not offensive

:hi:

[dpbrown]

17. It's the War on Crustaceanmas!!!

Send in the Crusaders!

[krispos42]

36. You mean the "Crustaders", right?

:rofl:

[quip]

42. Death to the anemones of Crustaceanmas!

[alarimer]

19. Well they are offensive to good taste.

But if you co-worker think they look like a penis, he or she obviously hasn't seen any then.

[PVnRT]

21. Ack! The abominations from Yuggoth! Ia! Ia!

/Lovecraft reference

[Ivan Sputnik]

22. I suppose HR thinks they look "unprofessional"

or are perhaps a fire hazard. Corporate America -- gotta love it.

[hyphenate]

23. Looks like some oddity

they might sell at an online adult store--they've managed to make penises of just about any animal or vegetable known--and often unknown--to man, so a lobster isn't out of the question.

[krispos42]

37. Yes, like the George W. Tush butt-plug

It's modeled after a vegetable, at least...

:rofl:

[flvegan]

24. Yes! Teh Vegan Attack Squad takes issue with your lobstah lights.

The LDLF (Lobstah Decoration Liberation Front) has been alerted.

We're watchin' yu.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

27. No. n/t

[quip]

28. If your penis is THAT red, it's not lobsters, it's crabs!

:rofl:

[KitchenWitch]

29. DUzy!

:rofl:

[sasquatch]

30. Somebody needs to focus on their work more

[Lil Missy]

31. I had to study it a long time to see any reslemblance to a penis. Someone is too sensitive.

They look like lobsters to me.

[ghostsofgiants]

33. They actually resemble diagrams of the female reproductive system more than they do penises.

Though they barely resemble that either.

People are idiots.

[astral]

34. Well, I don't see the resemblance to lobsters, either . . .

I thunk they were elephants!

Watch out what offends people, how about the Santa who got fired for sayin' "Ho HoHo!" He was told he MUST say "Ha HaHa" instead-- not clear whether he was warned about this in advance . . . .

[kentauros]

35. Maybe use some of these lights next time, instead...

Tiki Island Lights

Hot Pink Flamingo set

You sure it was because of Insubordination? Or was there a Mime Incident? ;)

[krispos42]

38. It's a lobster.

You coworker needs to see a Red Lobster commercial or two.

[Arkansas Granny]

39. OK, it's early in the morning and I haven't had any coffee yet,

but I swear the first thing I saw was crawdad angels. In the south we see lots more crawdads than we do lobsters and I thought those big old claws were supposed to be wings.

[RetroLounge]

41. Oh, I thought it was only me...

I saw lobster angels too...

:hi:

RL

[SoxFan]

49. Crawdad Angels

Would be a great name for an alt country band.

Live at the Meadowbrook Musical Arts Center, it's Wilco, with special guests the Crawdad Angels!

[Deja Q]

40. Female genitalia in a translucent bright red?

:hide:

[BarenakedLady]

43. Haha

Besides being gaudy? No.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

44. An old punchline comes to mind,,,

(after the Rorschach test)
"I'M obsessed? YOU'RE the one with all the dirty pictures!"

[Maine-ah]

45. nope

[cuke]

46. But, but, but

they dont even look like lobsters, nevermind a penis

[Amerigo Vespucci]

48. Offended?

I guess that one could look at these and see a slight phallic implication, but there are people out there who can see a dick in everything.

For example, I look at the White House, and I see a dick.



But that's just me.
