Milfs Appalled by Racy Books

Heraldnet.com (the newspaper of Snohomish County) recently ran this story:

Mom appalled at racy books in store for teens at Alderwood mall
By Scott Pesznecker

LYNNWOOD -- Marci Milfs went to Urban Outfitters to find clothes for her teenage son. She was surprised to find sexually charged books that she believes have no place in a clothing store for teens and young adults. On one end of the spectrum was "Porn for Women," a photo book showing men doing housework. On the other was "Pornogami: A Guide to the Ancient Art of Paper-Folding for Adults," a guide for making anatomically correct artwork. "When I saw it, I was shocked," Milfs said... Milfs was so appalled that she is preparing to file a complaint with the city of Lynnwood, and has already aired her frustrations to State Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton, and organizations including Morality in Media, Concerned Women of America and the American Family Association.

When I saw this story I assumed either it had to be a joke, or the reporter had fallen for a prank. Kind of like when reporters are tricked into quoting "Haywood Jablome" as a source.

A "MILF" (for anyone unfamiliar with the term) is popular internet slang for any attractive older woman. By internet standards, that means any woman over the age of 25. It stands for "Mom I'd like to f***".

So a story about "Marci Milfs" being appalled by racy books has to be a joke. Right? Apparently not. It's just another example of an unfortunate last name. Marci Milfs seems to be a real person.

Urban Outfitters is one of my favorite stores. It's not just for teens... that's like saying Kroger shouldn't carry alcohol or contraceptives just because teens can shop there.

Her name really is Milf, and she works at a Christian School?! - that's just so ... funny. <giggle, snark> Do you think she even knows what MILF means?

I thought I heard this story that she was upset that her last name had been turned into a dirty acronym. (Acronym, right??)

Urban outfitters does primarily market to YOUNG people. I can see where it might be inappropriate to allow young customers to view materials meant for adults. If you try to buy alcohol or cigarettes at Kroger's, you'd be I.D.'d before you could buy them.

i find it funny that she was offended by porn for women, theres nothing in side just hunky men cooking and cleaning up. its a one joke book, i guess its just the title that offends her.

The most straight-laced, serious and humour-deprived individual I ever met was called Nancy Cox-Harker. A lifetime of snickering had turned her into the kind of anti-joy Nazi it is a positive displeasure to meet.

Rather than simply change her name, drop or swap the hyphenation, or just marry, she had set out on a quest to make the world around her so devoid of mirth than no-one would ever think to loose even a single titter.

Sad really.

Years ago when I was a clerk at a Blockbuster Video we had a regular customer with the last name of Growcock. Actually it was her married name, felt sorry for her husband. (Saw her ID)
