A few things:

Elma’s comments are not slander, they are her opinion based on what she finds to be socially acceptable. The easy solution for her is to not patronize NW Art & Frame and/or complain to management…not the cashier.

I hate the “coarsening of society” line. It’s such crap and is used as a self-serving means of denigrating what others may appreciate. I don’t appreciate any things, from evangelism, Republicans (as a whole), to ketchup, but I don’t offer up a lack of taste as a chastisement.

I’ve lived here for 17 years and as long as I’ve patronized that store there have been risqué items for sale. Some I’ve found amusing, some silly but none that I’d qualify as patently offensive. But that’s my opinion. Keyword: opinion.

I used the word slander (almost 3 years ago) because Elma stated that this store was selling “offensive merchandise” and never described what she found offensive. She basically said something negative with no evidence to support her opinion. When I went to the store I really had to scour the place to find what she might have meant. It’s a big place too.

This is the problem with this city… Just because YOU are offended by something, doesn’t mean that someone else needs to change. Having things appropriately marked isn’t even required. If you have a problem with this business, shop elsewhere. Cheeky gifts are a welcome source of entertainment for those of us that don’t thump our bibles and fain shock at cheesy humor. If they start slinging Hustler, lmk… but are you really serious with this post? Anyone else remember when Seattle used to have a personality and a soul? Before all these uptight Midwesterners started moving out here and being shocked at other people having FUN in their lives? SMH…. please grow up!

This 65yo chuckled at the adult humor items that have caused this thread, and even purchased two as gits to help support the stores choice & freedom to carry such items.

Sounds like they do have appropriate signage displayed allready, so whats the big deal? It also doesnt sound like they are super offensive either in comparison to some other things… Do you refrain from watching tv or listening to radio as well? Heck ive heard some conversations at bus stops that b super offensive, so better not go outside anymore
