I’m wondering what the original movie title was?  Barney’s Spine?  Barney’s Snipe?  I’m bad with anagrams.

Anyway, did this guy step out of a time warp from the 1950’s?  Hoodlums?  Unlawful teenagers?

Is the Daniel’s Market responsible for some wag rearranging a sign, does the father expect armed guards to ensure that signage can’t be changed?

Criminal Act, wonder if it really is and if so what actual law it would fall under and what the penile code it come under?

I made an emergency call to our church’s pastor about this bombshell in my daughter’s life and he is unsure how it will affect her future.

Maybe they should both consider not making an issue of it and that way the girl wont have to endure the catastrophic psychological implications that are caused by seeing the word “penis�.

BTW Les, a belated Happy Birthday and enjoy the presents.

I would imagine changing a sign without permission would at least fall under the category of trespassing, or maybe vandalism.

No doubt it’s illegal to deface private property.  At I thought the guy’s response was a bit on par with Ned Flanders seeing as there are so many worse things his daughter could have been exposed to than a word on a sign. God forbid she see a word, better go home and sit her in front of the tv so she can get a good healthy dose of violence!

But maybe it was the wind or something?  We’ve all seen those cheap marquis signs that have the easily interchangeable letters, the ones that often have letters fall out?  Maybe it was that type of sign, and some of the letters fell out?  That’s why I was wondering what the sign was supposed to say.  Anybody know, I didn’t see a reference to it in the source.

Bad parenting combined with Christian ickyness.

Just tell the little girl: “It was just someone playing a joke on the sign.  Barney doesn’t really have a penis because he’s a cartoon character.” Say it as if it’s a little bit humorous but not really important and she’ll forget all about it in time.

Until SHE becomes a teenager, when the stereotype hormones kick in and she starts rearranging signs.  Horrors!  So much for the liberal approach.

What’s with this talk of “unlawful teenagers” and “hoodlums?” Is it 1954? I think this man may have some...issues.

I want so badly to beat that father with a lead pipe. What a fucking vagina.

I wonder if he knows how many six year olds see stuff like that and grow up just fine without therapy?

Eh.. I left a comment to that effect, for what it’s worth. It’s a week old article.  Maybe the kids stopped saying “Barney’s penis” in shopping centers.  I don’t know.. if it were my kid, I’d think it was hilarious… I have been told by my father (I have officially pleaded the 5th on this) that I once while he and I were out I pointed at a very ah.. gifted young woman and shouted out loud enough for everyone nearby to hear “Wow, those are much bigger than Mommy’s.” And no… that wasn’t last week.

Course that’s why I’d probably make a bad father… I’d be in trouble WITH the kid saying “That was awesome!! Too bad Mom found out.”

Geise: What a fucking vagina.

Nah. In the past, I’ve found vaginas to be extremely useful. Does ‘dead vagina’ work?

Sword: “Wow, those are much bigger than Mommy’s.�

Cool.

Oh, this is HILARIOUS!  For one thing, I wanna know this:  if she learned to read from the Barney books, how the hell did she recognize the word PENIS??  Did she see it before in his books, or what?  Do they have it written all over their house? 

And I can just see her now, gleefully chanting “penis, penis, penis, penis!” all day long because it gets such a great reaction from him.  “Shut up, honey!  You’re going to hell!”

And I thought that I had a problem when my oldest son, who was 6 years old at the time, decided that his favorite CD was by Jimmy Buffet—and he kept singing lines from “Let’s Get Drunk And Screw”.  I think that what his mother and I did was the best thing to do; we did nothing except “lose” the CD.  He decided that he liked Billy Joel and Eric Clapton better.

This woulda pissed him off then.

John, I have a feeling that laughing too loudly in public would piss this wanker off (to use your colorful terminology).

On the other hand, a shower courtesy of David sounds like it may have its advantages.
