Okay, why is it strapped to her inner thigh?

I'm told that if one is wearing a dress, there aren't a lot of great places to hide it. If they are wearing a skirt or something belted, they can clip it back there. If not, there's a garter thing you use.

I don't know why anyone would think it was a sex toy. It's not like the camera is the only thing looking at her and when it's pointed away she's suddenly alone; there must be dozens of crew and staff around. Why would she sit there playing with a strapon in the middle of the office?

This reminds of when Safeway used to sell their store brand grape soda. It had a little thing on it that said "Kid Approved!"

When you tore open the package so you could fridge pack it, it would tear off the the G, resulting in RAPE SODA Kid Approved!

They changed that packaging after like two solid years and I always wondered if anyone at corporate noticed.

Okay, that last one is bullshit. Odin didn't have an axe, he had a spear. It was important enough that it had a name, Gungnir.

Who creates the mottos for these things? 'Cave spiculum nostrum', the first thing that I could string together, is clumsy at best, but 'Caveo noster morsus' is bizarre gibberish.

I also want to know who was responsible for this lady:

The Daily Mail posted:

Moorestown architect Rick Ragan told the Burlington County Times he learned of the problem from residents who translated it online - who also came up with a wrong answer.

In fact, the Google translate software also fluffed the translation of the words, which do not mean anything in that form because they ignore the rules of Latin grammar.

But they did pick up on the fact that the word the authorities thought meant 'check' could also mean 'guess'.

Ragan says he'll pay a stone cutter to change the phrase to something that means 'We encourage all.'

He'll also have the Roman numerals fixed to reflect the proper year.

Yeah, Google Translate is particularly bad with Latin, but I suppose it's not really the most pressing issue for them to address, Latin's not exactly taking off again any time soon.

The NRO made more patches of the parody. :911:
