She should be more concerned about what those straws are made out of versus what alleged shape they are in.

'I've tried, but I can't see anything else.'
Mmmmhmmm.

i saw this on the news the other day and couldn't wait to read your take on it, dan.

I'm debating who is more ridiculous in this situation, the offended mother or the news team who thought this was a story. My juvenile-prone mind agrees the straws look phallic, but why is that worth time on the local news?

This gets today's Nucking Futs award. So crazy you just can't make it up....

This is one of those things that is so fucking hilarious it's not.

This is just pareidolia, like seeing the Virgin Mary in a grilled cheese. She must be a cock worshiper if she sees it everywhere she looks.

I'm morally offended by people who shop at WalMart.

Color me a cock worshipper, then, because they look pretty damn funny to me.

He checked three stores in three different states looking for cock shaped fun straws. Apparently being a tv new personality is not as glamorous as I would have thought.

But... they *do* look like cocks.

Somebody clearly set up the straw-bendy machine to make cock-shaped straws. This doesn't rise to the level of national news item, but I can kinda see why a parent would ask Walmart to pull the straws in question. Sorry.

This is s'rsly news worthy? I agree, where is the father, and why is she so obsessed?

I smell a gold digger trying to get money out of people.

They look like bells. Or like bell-shaped bendy straws. Now THESE look like cock. (totally SFW)

So what if they do? If I had these when I was a kid the first thing me and my brothers would do is use them to spit water and "pee" all over each other! My mom would laugh at us.

I'm with Sven, they totally do look like cock. But... definitely not newsworthy.

The comments made about this lady on Jezebel were more biting and there for funnier. They even had a picture of the kid sucking on one.

Bill Murray? Caddy Shackin', Ghost-Bustin ass Murray?

Keep her out of the produce section!

I freeze framed the receipt (at 2.10). They buy a lot of crap. I can see Candy Pops, Fruit Punch, Mountain Dew, "Dr Thunder", "Pills Cake", Chocolate syrup, and two different kinds of pop tarts. That's a lot of junk food. The more pressing problem is the poor nutrition in that family.

Hahaha... I've totally used straws that looked like that at a Hen's night before... Definitely penis shaped, but I reckon the penis batch accidentally got mixed into the fun pack.
