I'll admit that I have never really understood the Wallace Berrie (and imitators) phenomenon; I find the dumpy, monochromatic figurines with engraved sayings ugly and kind of dorky (anything that routinely substitutes "wuv" for "love" just rubs me the wrong way, unless it's
The Princess Bride). But I recognize that that art style was popular in the 1970s; and the people who bought them had probably already had their sense of taste destroyed by the drug culture and double-knit polyester and
Billy Jack, so it wasn't really their fault.
But this... this is just disturbing, no matter what kind of drugs you're on:
Because nothing says "sexual assault" like a lip-smacking leprechaun.
Setting aside the grammar error (it should be "lie down," since it's a mandate)... The lecherous expression; the "Wild Thing"-like solicitation... What recipient would NOT be creeped out by this?
