Elephant Ears, Bare Breasts at County Fair
ROSEBURG, Ore. – 80’s glam-rock band Poison is in hot water over allegedly showing a woman’s bare breasts in a video projected behind the band during their performance at the Douglas County Fair. Fair organizers are demanding an apology.
“I just think it’s wrong,” said entertainment booker Pete Mancloth. “I mean, I’m no queer. Women’s breasts are luscious things but they’re dirty too and should stay put away, in most cases.”
Some concert goers felt similarly disturbed by the video.
“Personally, I’m kind of shocked,” said Jo-Anne Tinkle, a Roseburg resident attending the concert with her 18 year-old son. “I conceived my boy Brett here at a Poison show in Kansas City back in ’89. I thought it would be kind of special to bring him with me tonight, like a family thing, but I didn’t expect this.” Son Brett declined to comment.
Not all concert-goers thought it was a big deal, however.
“I don’t think it’s a big deal,” said livestock maintenance worker, Bob Nosewater. “If you look around here, there’s nipples all over the place. Sometimes eight at a time.”
Managers for the Colorado State Fair, where Poison is next scheduled to perform, have formed a committee to warn fair-goers of the titillating images meant to distract them from the fair’s family-friendly atmosphere.
