Does She Realize?

May5

I love that she’s probably completely clueless and yet she’s going to such lengths to fight any reference to sexuality.

Marci Milfs went to Urban Outfitters to find clothes for her teenage son.

She was surprised to find sexually charged books that she believes have no place in a clothing store for teens and young adults.

On one end of the spectrum was “Porn for Women,” a photo book showing men doing housework. On the other was “Pornogami: A Guide to the Ancient Art of Paper-Folding for Adults,” a guide for making anatomically correct artwork.

“When I saw it, I was shocked,” Milfs said.

The books are displayed on tables in the Alderwood mall store with other socially and politically irreverent books, such as Stephen Colbert’s “I Am America (And So Can You).”

Milfs was so appalled that she is preparing to file a complaint with the city of Lynnwood, and has already aired her frustrations to State Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton, and organizations including Morality in Media, Concerned Women of America and the American Family Association.

She also called Urban Outfitters’ corporate office in Philadelphia.

UPDATE: Rogier suggests Urban Outfitters capitalize on the attention.

If I were the manager of that Urban Outfitters, I’d be very publicly selling that T-shirt [linked here] for a while, just for kicks.

    She does realize that her last name is an acronym for something decidedly un-wholesome, right? :mrgreen:

    Exactly.

    That just can’t be her real name!

    Or my name’s not Turk Roflmao!

    Squeaky beat me to it. I did a double-take when I read her last name.

    I had to read this again this morning. el oh el.

    What do you mean Squeaky beat you to it? Why do you think I made an effort to find a section of the story with her first name? :mrgreen:

    Well, that and because I thought it would be fun to be a Google hit. :twisted:

    In my scientific effort to determine if Milfs was actually a MILF, I googled up ‘marci milfs’ with a google image search. And if she’s appalled porn, she should never do that.

    Say, I wonder if this comment will get through your spam filter?

    Nope. did not get through the spam filter.

    [...] my never ending quest for scientific research, I decided to Google up images of Marci Milfs to see if she lives up to her name. And if she’s offended by sexually charged books then she [...]

    Hmmm… I’m pretty sure a store can sell whatever they want as long as it’s not illegal.

  11. On May 6th, 2008 at 11:23 am Bitter Says:

    And she can be as annoying as she wants as long as she doesn’t do anything illegal. Which provides me with blog fodder and amusement.

    It’s a good thing for her that merely being a moron isn’t illegal. ;) If so…much of our government (Nutter, Bloomberg, and the lot) would be in jail.

    “Marci Milfs” – um, this is blatantly a fake story. Come on guys, don’t fall for it.

    So did you talk to the reporter from the Herald to find out if it was a belated April Fool’s joke? Because I wonder if their headline in the same section today of “25 years later, no answers in killing of Arlington man’s son” is also a fake story? Or maybe only yesterday was the day for fake stories – like “Everett’s I-5 lanes getting better”?

    Or perhaps only that reporter writes the gag stories? Let me tell you this one has me rolling:

    The task of helping to shape the replacement for the Rosehill Community Center likely will fall on the shoulders of more than a dozen city officials, local residents and community group members.

    He should do standup.

    It’s possible that someone pulled the wool over a reporter’s eyes, but some of those organizations are legit, so it seems like an awful lot of research for a story that would otherwise be outted quickly.

    There’s a listing for a Dana and Marci Milfs in the phone book. That seems a little far to go for an April Fools joke.

    What does the Moro Islamic Liberation Front have to do with any of this?

    (And why is she upset about a book showing fully clothed men doing housework?

    Because the title says Porn, evidently. Not its content, but its label?

    Doesn’t she have anything better to do?)

    :twisted: Nope. She’s a real person, a teacher at Cedar Park Christian School (it figures): http://www.cedarpark.org/cpcs/administration/everettmarcimilfs . I pity her poor son for having a mother that’s that religiously anal and apparently without a sense of humor (“Porno for Women” features a man vacuuming on its covers and is a book lampoon about men doing housework, laundry, scrubbing the toilet without being asked, and snuggling). O-or she’s just upset about her last name…
