The genius should have considered this.
Rut Roh! Well, they'll probably last out the storm. There's only 3 establishments in all of RR. People like their dives. This probably won't hurt their bottom line.
Probably not. I bet most people are saying "he's a great guy and was just trying to be funny etc..." And that may be true. But on the other hand it might not take too many people to boycott the place to do some serious harm. That Yelp site isn't going to help LOL.
You think? I'm curious how this will roll. This is an interesting area. Lots of very strong Christian types, and also lots of whatever.....redneck?...types? I heard someone tipped off the Courier, so it'll be interesting what it does with it.

You might be right he might have sunk his own ship. I was thinking about the regulars who know him who might not worry about this guys costume. But If it's a restaurant? And I think it is, there might be quite a few that won't EVER go there. I have already seen people say as much.

Is it a restaurant? Or just a dive bar. I've never been there.

It actually doesn't tell much. Just says someone (the councilman from Grants Pass) posted the photo and it's a controversey, then it stops.
By the way, not sure why OL keeps posting stupid pictures. Yeah, I get it. They are disgusting. So what?

I'll take your word for so I don't have to look at them again. WTF is wrong with them? Is anyone on the planet not sickened to see them?

I went to burger king the other day and ordered a whopper.
The cash register displayed the word "WHOP"
As an Italian, I was totally offended.

What? I think they are kind of hot! (But I agree I don't want to snuggle up to the one who smokes). But, in a few years things will start to sag and their beauty will be a thing of the past. (Full disclosure: I've reached that age where think all women not yet getting Social Security Retirement are hot")

i don't think it's offensive because I think of it as him making fun of something going on in the world that is bad. I'm not offended because I'm not a pedophile, but I don't think it's tasteless because he's reaffirming to everyone that the pedophilia is wrong. I like it when people expose the bad stuff going on in the world, rather than everyone keeping things swept under the carpet. Even if I thought his costume was offensive, I'd leave him alone because I believe in free speech. I believe in "live and let live" - you can do anything you want as long as you're not hurting anyone else. I suppose pedophiles may be offended though, but they have to live with it in order to have free speech & freedom of expression.

Yay! Thanks for posting Thinker! Not sure if I agree entirely. With some things, yes, I do. Overall, I find it offensive and unnecessary, but not sure if it's worthy of a witch hunt either.

I sounds a little like you are trying to make excuses for the guy.

I'm not personally offended but it's about as tacky as someone could be, especially for the friggin owner of the place. And I really don't understand why you (Thinker) say you are not offended but pedophiles would be. Why would a pediphile be offended?
