Last night a lady went to a grocery store in Mountain Home, Arkansas, where she was privy to one of the more offensive things weve heard about in a long time. The people over at Harps Supermarket decided to put a family shield (you know, to protect young Harps shoppers) over the cover of Us Weekly. But Harps is not trying to protect kids from Snooki or Kim or any other standard tabloid trash. No, theyre trying to protect children from a photo of Elton John, his partner David Furnish and their adorable baby Zachary.
This makes us angry. Really, really angry. This shield comes from a place of ignorance, intolerance and hate. An image of two loving parents thrilled to finally have a child of their own? This is clearly not something that should be censored. Ever.

I don't think Jules here knows the meaning of the word "censorship", but if you follow the link, there's pictures that make ME want to "censor" them here.

Sex perverts should not be permitted to adopt children.

Maybe they’re trying to “shield” them from the picture of Sir Elton himself. He looks creepy as hell in that shot!

This shield comes from a place of ignorance, intolerance and hate. Naw, it comes from a box of shields in the stockroom.
They are used to keep folks from having to see pictures
of sick fags being allowed to mess up an innocent kid.

Fine, let's do away with ignorance and educate people. Homosexual men have anal sex. One man puts his penis in another man's anus. Babies can't be made that way because the anus was not designed for procreation. It's biological function is to ride the body of waste.
PRINT THAT!

Hey Julia - want to see what real ignorance, intolerance and hate is? Try talking about Conservatism to a liberal or professing your Christian faith in front of them. Better yet, go on a 'tolerant' program like The View and try that.
You'll get to see what REAL intolerance and hatred is all about, real fast.

Elton John and his sex pervert didn't have a child. That child does not have the genetic makeup of both parents. Herein lies the fallacy of the claim that homosexuals can be parents just like heterosexuals.

Okay, his sexual thing aside, who wants to see that ugly old head anyway?

Shame on the people at Harps Supermarket.
They shoud not even be selling this trash in the first place.
But if they must, then at least they have the decency to filter out the faggotry.

Sorry, but a private business has the right to determine what will and won’t be displayed in their establishments. If this store doesn’t want to display perversion, that’s their call.

Julia’s not too bright if she thinks these two perverts are “loving parents”.
Just my opinion of course.

Two things occur to me here:
1. The store — being a private business — has a right to “censor” anything it displays on its shelves. Just as customers offended by such censorship have a right to shop elsewhere.
2. To circumvent any such issues, the store might be well advised to simply stop carrying Us magazine entirely. Because I would imagine that for every fruitbat edified at the sight of two wrinkled poofters cooing over a helpless baby there will be a hundred offended at that sight.

Correct. Not any different than the parential advisory sticker on CDs (thank you Tipped Gore) or Walmart refusing to sell certain music.
If this were true censorship, the gov’t would have given he orders to hide the cover. They did not.

Exactly right. And I’d fell the same way if a store hid the cover of Field and Stream with Sarah Palin holding a caribou she just hunted.

Zachary?
That reminds me of the joke where the punchline is “zachary rike assho.” I hope he never hears that joke, but I bet he will.

I am glad to hear that. I saw those at my supermarket and was so sorry for that poor baby.

LOL... I was going to correct ride to rid, but then from the perverts point of view, ride seems to fit. ;>)

I saw the mag cover yesterday during checkout at Walmart and wondered to myself which of these two perverts takes care of the breastfeeding duties.
