    No writing about dicks and orgasms, even indirectly, even if you paraphrase Roger Moore in topic subject lines.

    To the puritannical, prissy Melissa Turner: A nice big steaming mug of STFU.

    "Having a little fun with such a topic is one thing, but such an in-your-face package with an illustration that appeals to children is inappropriate."

    "One cannot always tell during telephone conversations, but it sounded like her voice quivered a time or two, as might be expected when a long-time and valued relationship is ending."

    This is the biggest load of bullshit I've ever read. What PR/ad/marketing flack wrote this and had it forced into this "story" about some melodramatically offended reader?

    Sounds to me like it was a stupid idea for a cover story in the first place, and embarrassingly bad idea for a graphic and a silly, too flip, ombudsman story on the subject.

    Congrats, Jacksonville, you hit the trifecta.
