About a week ago, the Chamber of Commerce [of a *proper* Connecticut community, known for its safe, universally shared, all-American values] issued their annual calendar...which promptly ruffled many feathers, with the image above.

B/c of the ruckus, the reprint of the calendar, excluded the controversial image. The agency that sponsored the page, distanced themselves from the men who posed.

No, actually the little guy has a Walther P22 in the photo I saw a few days ago.

I can’t see what all the ruckus is about. Local businesses supporting the local C of C. Sounds like all good fun. A bit tacky, but harmless.

Two openly gay men, in this town, were arrested for nasty stuff with some of the NINE foster children they had under their *care*.

So the suggestiveness of the image, in light of the allegations of this *couple* in town, has a bearing on the flap.

IMO, the little boy is not going to be able to *live down* this unfortunateness. Growing up being known as *sold,* *for rent* and *coming soon* and the suggestiveness of it all... I wouldn’t call that *harmless* ...kids will tease the heck out of him.

Regarding that "Chillin' With My Ho's" guy, this Christmas card must have been the version that went to the no-sense-of-humor liberals in the family.
