Here’s the story<\/a>. My thoughts\/questions are in bold<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

SOURCE<\/a>: A local pastor\u2019s complaint about a brand of underwear being sold with \u201cpornographic\u201d pictures on the packaging at the Cullman Walmart reportedly led to a recall of the product.<\/em><\/p>\n

Okay, so first of all… pornographic for whom? Probably his wife, right? I know a lot of women who like hanging out in the men’s underwear aisle at Walmart! Seriously, those Fruit of the Loom models are hot.

\"Fruit<\/a><\/div>\n

Frank Boren, pastor of New Hope Christian Center Church of God in the Springhill community, said he noticed the <\/em>huge packages on the<\/span> <\/strong>questionable underwear package while shopping at the store in May.<\/em>
\n
\n\u201cI was in there shopping for some underwear one day, and looked at the men\u2019s pictures on the packaging,\u201d he said. <\/em>(He sounds jealous.) <\/strong>\u201cOn a few of the packages they were very pornographic in the way they were dressed, in skimpy underwear, <\/em>(It’s underwear Frank!) <\/strong>so I went to the manager and asked her if she thought it was inappropriate to be displayed.\u201d<\/p>\n

After filing a few more complaints in the following weeks, Boren said the questionable <\/em>and huge<\/strong><\/span> packaging eventually disappeared <\/em>(Disappeared? As in magically? Perhaps Jesus?) <\/strong>from the store\u2019s shelves.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Fruit<\/a><\/div>\n

Boren said he wanted to thank Valentine and Cullman County Sheriff Tyler Roden for their assistance in the matter. <\/em>(He called the sheriff? What?)<\/strong>
\n
\nWhen asked about his role in the reported recall, Sheriff <\/em>Roden said he listened to Boren\u2019s complaint \u2014 though the issue mostly fell to the discretion of Walmart officials.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was concerned about the packaging on some of the men\u2019s underwear being too revealing <\/em>(I wonder if he resists looking down in the shower)<\/strong>, in his opinion, to the point that he thought it was pornographic,\u201d he said.<\/em><\/p>\n

Pornographic… Really?<\/em> <\/strong><\/p>\n

Seriously, it sounds like Frank has too much time on his hands (and potentially other issues).<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
