Concrete Company Puts Up Funny Ad, Panties Quickly Wad

See, this is why we can't have fun things.  Someone always bitches.  This time, a concrete company put up an ad with a slogan "Wife need new shoes?"  followed by their company logo.  Well, after being up for a whole day, someone at the YWCA saw it and threw a tantrum because it made light of domestic violence or somesuch crap, she immediately called up the mayor and started bitching, the mayor called the concrete guy, the concrete guy called the whiny YWCA rep.  Concrete guy says it was no big deal, most women realized it was a goofy joke, but YWCA lady is still engaged in PC whining. 

His sister-in-law came up with it because she was a Sopranos fan, and his wife thought it was funny, he tested the ad with lots of people and had no complaints.  As is typical, it only takes one uptight tool to ruin everyone else's fun. 

I like this, its so typical of news reporters, he feels the need to explain the whole cement shoes, because apparently people are too stupid to figure it out,

“Cement shoes,” according to online encyclopedia Wikipedia, is a slang term adopted by the American Mafia crime world for a method of execution that involves weighting down a victim and throwing him or her into the water to drown. “It has become adopted in the United States as a humorous term representing any exotic threat from criminals,” Wikipedia said.

He used Wiki?  Don't get me wrong, I use Wiki all the time, but I'm a spinoff moronblogger, but a newspaper?  If you're doing a professional piece in a paper and getting paid, use something better...of course I think Tony Blankley came up with the idea that Ace's was a milblog from Wiki, because that's the only place I'd seen AoS referred to as a milblog.  So be careful using Wiki as an official source!

Anyway, the concrete guy says he'll change the ad in a few weeks, but won't elaborate...I hope its brutal.
