Town asks stores not to sell beads during blossom fest

*hope to keep women’s clothes on *

WENATCHEE, Wash. (AP) - City business leaders and police want to keep this year's Apple Blossom Festival under wraps.

They're asking stores not to sell beaded necklaces during the festival, to avoid a repeat of last year when young men offered beaded necklaces to young women, hoping to entice them to bare their breasts, Mardi Gras-style.

"I don't think women exposing themselves is part of family fun," said Craig Larsen, a Wenatchee Valley Chamber of Commerce executive and a city councilman.

In its newsletter this month, the chamber and police urged businesses not to sell the necklaces during the April 24-May 4 event, which attracts about 100,000 visitors to this north-central Washington city each year.

Last year, 21 people were cited for lewd conduct and three for indecent exposure, said police Sgt. Ken Manke.

Gary Cockerham, owner of the Your Dollar Store With More, considers the necklaces harmless. The store sells a pack of four bead necklaces for $2.

"Someone is trying to legislate morality," he said. "I think that's weird."

damn, tyler = boring :(

[Barbie]

meet ya in Wenatchee.

Is Mardi Gras really like "that" though? I mean, really?

[VenoM]

Wenatchee? where's that at? :o and yes mardi gras gets pretty bad, so i've heard.

[Barbie]

Wenatchee Wash. Where the ban on boobie beads is. :)

[Billyman]

Wenatchee? huh?

Yes Mardi Gras is that bad (but fun) so I've heard.

Back to the article:

I like this Gary Cock-erham fella. Besides, citations are money rackets anywayz. I'll almost bet they WANT to write citations just for the money. After all, it helps the department funds and boohoo to the cops that may actually have to work.

[Barbie]

Ah Citations for money: like Super Nova.

Does the US have those? The Cash cows that sit on the side of the road and flash a bulb in your idrection and youre doing 100km in an 80km zone?

Less citations, more policing?

[Billyman]

This is known fact in my area.

I have several "friends" in law enforcement and they will all tell you that there is no written or expected quota on ticketing. However, they will each tell you, although it is relatively unspoken, if they don't issue a reasonable number of citations monthy, they are looked at as not working up to par by their superiors. If a department funds are going down instead of being stabalized, the officers are asked to kick it up a notch. Then, it's citation bliss.

Think think...

Ok, first this (http://www.shoppalstores.com/milbargain/index.cfm/fa/items.main/parentcat/2484/subcatid/6088/id/40330) then gas money, food, lodging...

GOLDMINE!

Bad for the city since money will be flowing out of it when the festival ends but prices are paid in any decision.

[Barbie]

Can't we all just make our own beads...save money and not waste it spending it on something other's made?

There was an ongoing investigation about these supernova's and how much quota was made per officer...it's disgusting...

And now we have these "red light" cameras...the next cash cow.
run a yellow..make sure it's fast and before the red light otherwise "click" - you're out $100 bucks (Cdn dollars...which AIN'T WORTH SHIT ANYWAY!)

First, I don't think it's the store's problem if the necklaces are used like that. You can't ask them to loose business because someone wants to see a chicks tits.
Second, someone please explaine to me why it's so horrible to show tits anyway. A PG-13 movie can have tits in it. Why is showing tits so immoral?

I wish I knew. I know it's legal here for women to go topless, but given that this is a recent development for this area (relatively) I'm not sure what it's like for the rest of all y'all in other areas.

Though it was made legal it is still condemned, and you will rarely see a woman going topless through the park, or even at the beach or swimming pools (at least when I've been there). Largely women have been the guilt mongers, shaming others who would excercise their rights with ridiculous claims that it's bad for their children. Convention's a bitch, as is insecurity.

Stadiums that would allow men to go topless decided that instead of allowing equality by letting women go topless as well they would enforce equality by making men put their shirts back on. Now I think that people should be wearing their shirts at stadiums and arenas anyway, but it amazes me that people would rather give up their customary privleges than to break a stupid taboo.

Theoretically the bead thing shouldn't be an issue here, but I assume that it would be considered indecent exposure by most regardless of any law.

[MrsKol]

Yes. Mardi Gras is that bad. I have not heard...I have seen.

If you have a bead collection stashed away somewhere, I don't want to know about it.

If you don't, I'll be happy to help you start one :)

[Billyman]

So MrsKol, how many points does he get for that one? :p

I choose the mighty spork of death. It is clearly the weapon of choice for such an occasion.

[Barbie]

Fuck! the spork? Always with the spork!

Fine - it is done.

And I choose the powerful foon.

(the inverse of the spork, and is created through a process known as fooning. Beware! )

[Escape Artist]

En garde, peasant - your foon will never prevail over the mightiness of my spork.

[Barbie]

You're spork, made of plastic, will never hold up to the greatness of my METAL foon!

:jab:

I foon you!

Take that! You dastardly coward.


REMIND ME - what are we "jousting" about?

Yes, a challege. A challenge of the boob showing!

[Escape Artist]

Indeed. A mighty battle it shall be. As for my mighty spork, it is a titanium alloy.

[Barbie]

Well, my Liquidmetal alloy is 3 times stronger than your tit.alloy (notice the tit) -

This battle will continue, but first: I must go grocery shopping - but you can be sure that this is not the end Knight EA....I promise you that!

[Barbie]

Of the universe? You mean the bathroom!!!

YOU WILL SEE NO BOOBIES! :jab:

[Escape Artist]

I care not for thy boobies, knave, and would not accept them anyhow.

Perhaps your foot could crush a worm, but certainly not me.

Know fear, for it is inevitable.

[Barbie]

I laugh at your fear.

ha ha ha ha!

You shall be fooned.

[Escape Artist]

My spork trumps your foon. I know no fear.

[Barbie]

[Escape Artist]

Yes, that is the sound you shall make after the Mighty Spork Of Death deflates you.

[Barbie]

Okay.
