Train accident in Chile: 2 dead dozens injured

 

 

This advertisement by ETSY is inappropriate. It depicts a greeting card of a man getting excited down there. And it crosses the line in the sand of what's decent and what's not. This picture is definitely distasteful and sexually suggestive, especially on a site that promotes its self as being family friendly.

It's like I'm visiting a public beach that's sunny and always family friendly and are suddenly blindsided by the dark clouds of nude bathers. 

It's not right. It's not right for the kids. It's not right period.

A disapproving voice(s) is needed here so this complaint weighs on PS' conscious, where the decision is totally up to them to allow their cash cow to frolic in a meadow of immorality or to censor the picture. 

It's in their hands.

But I hope they use the same morality as they do in censoring a list of banned poet's word, which in my opinion pales in comparison to that picture.

Note-I thought about enclosing the image of the greeting card but it falls under PS terms of conditions that doesn't allow pornographic cartoons ... the irony. A train wreck will do.

Today's April 16th. Good news I don't see the lewd ETSY advertizement. It's about time that the ad got shelved. However what I did see, which brought a smile to my face, is a Sea Life Park ad from Hawaii (my hometown).. That's what I'm talking about good taste. Not the ETSY ad, which is hard to swallow (oh connie you didn't say that did you?)

Connie, did anyone ever tell you that your comments are better than your poems, and that you will never grow out of those duck feathers thinking some day you'll be a swan. Not happening. At least you're a funny duck.

It looks like the good guys struck out. Because after two days my complaint to PS went on deaf ears. The ad is still running tall. And the line in the sand of what is right and what is wrong has no bearing on PS in this instance. For ETSY, shame on you. And I hope that this one rotton apples spoils all the other apples.
