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.

Nice.
She "conceived my boy Brett here at a Poison show" and then to celebrate that fact ("like a family thing"?!), goes to see the same artist, but is "shocked" to see nudity somewhere she also gets laid?
If you're cool with being sexually free enough to celebrate your son's conception with your son, why freak out on boobs? Some Americans are nuts. It's this kind of self-righteous hypocrisy that's flushing our freedoms and liberty down the drain.
I especially liked how you took the actual article from the komotv web site and modified it to make me laugh... hee hee hee. Thank you.
Boob flashing from the audience is a-ok, but heaven forbid the band display the same thing. Everyone has seen 'em at some point in their lives. Hell, half the audience actually has 'em. The big deal? Hell if I know. It's just a few prudes complaining.
Nosewater? Tinkle? This has to be made up.
(checks calendar for April fool's day - nope, not in August)
I know I'd be offended if Poison showed up to my fair.
Maybe you need to put 100-pixel-high letters on some of your articles that say "THIS IS A MADE-UP STORY" for some of the more obtuse readers.
But then we wouldn't get to enjoy the misguided comments from the obtuse readers.
