Thanks to Declan for finding this pair of comments on a Guardian article about an animated film.

I must say that I have been totally offended and I will not see this movie. I don’t know if anyone caught it but in the trailer as the man is scanning they have actually put in a …PENIS being scanned. Do we have to continue to take things “to the next level” in a childrens animated movie? Two thumbs down. Very Very poor judgement from the film company to NBC to airing it!!!!

I stand corrected and apologize. Upon showing it to my wife as we reviewed it, we found that it was his elbow and the shirt on his arm is what I thought was this image. So I more than likely will still go and see it. Again I am sorry for posting the prior message.

Update: There’s not much to add to this one but eliMordino noticed “[...] the pause before ‘PENIS’. I imagine him with a handkerchief held to his mouth, pure horror on his face.

    One can only imagine what he was doing/thinking between 2.02am when he spoutd forth his initial rage and 3.34am when he retracts.

    Probably an hour and a half of pausing the trailer and arguing with his wife.

    “it’s a penis!”
    “no, it’s an EL-bow”

    If only he’d thought he’d been mooned this would’ve been perfect.

    As it is it’s just incredibly funny.

    I expect he’s still hunting down an original copy of “The Little Mermaid” to get indignant over.

    I bet this isn’t the first time this has happened to him, either.

    I was totally offended earlier today whilst I was sweeping the kitchen floor. Suddenly I realised I was holding a… MASSIVE COCK in my hands! The whole worlds gorn maaaad!

    Oh wait, my wife’s just told me it was a broom handle. It still fits up tmckib’s arse though.

    Well at least he’s civil about it. And I like the pause before “PENIS”. I imagine him with a handkerchief held to his mouth, pure horror on his face.

    The most brilliant thing about it is that in the next shot, the character scans his arse. tmckib doesn’t seem to care about that. Watch:

    (Insert arse/elbow joke here.)

    It doesn’t even look like a penis! Sounds to me like tmckib has some sort of obsession if that was all he could see there.

    I can’t get past the fact that he is SO offended by the sight of another man’s cartoon penis that he has to drag his wife out of bed in the middle of the night and insist she watches the video again and again and again until she sees it too…

    Mind you, I can sympathise with his mistake – I too have a cock as big as a forearm and honestly thought every other man was similarly endowed!

    Talking of penises, came across this image a while back and thought it was just a sleeping dog till someone pointed out a certain protrusion.

    Whatever it is it’s definitely not his elbow.

    Is it attached to your forehead by any chance?

    I am absolutely outraged that my young daughter was exposed to filth on CBeebies. They have a whole programme devoted to two grown men comparing the size of their cocks.

    Hold on, it’s all fine

    If someone showed tmckib a picture of a small boy holding a rooster and a paediatrician petting said bird (think about it), would tmckib spontaneously combust? ‘Cos I’m sure it can be arranged.

    Having seen the clip, if he thinks that looks like a normal penis, I have to wonder what the hell tmckib’s penis looks like.

    THIS IS AN OUTR – oh wait, it’s MY penis.

    I once saw a green elephant riding a unicycle whilst playing a banjo and juggling a chair, an egg and a chainsaw.

    Turns out it was just a fish.

    Just saw this bizarre utterance on another guardian thread. Here’s a short sample – best haiku ever?

    As a child
    I tasted jam
    with a golliwog
    blackcurrant
    on its label

    Was I wrong?

  20. on 04 Feb 2009 at 7:02 pm Hurrraaaaaggghhh

    That’s not a haiku. OUTRAGE!
