lol, I read that yesterday, found it to be in bad taste, just like those nasty conversation hearts.

Not with what I sell. (sold)
For certain shops that might be appropriate, I guess.

gleeza, i was pretty shocked myself! i would NEVER post something like that in my shop, blog, website, etc.

i really don't understand what Etsy was thinking????

Don't know what to say.

eek, i suppose that's true. and while there's certainly nothing wrong with masturbating or having herpes, i don't think it's really appropriate for Etsy--which publicly represents ALL OF US--to do so.

just my opinion! ♥

I'm relatively sure that many sellers, such as conservative sellers and such, won't like being represented like this.

After all, it's an easy area to access and their customers can find it quickly.

There's a comment at the very bottom of the comments that says exactly what I was thinking. I'd cut and paste it but I dunno if thats against the rules anymore.

I suppose SOMEBODY thinks that they are being cute or clever or terminally hip, but I find homophobia & STD's not suitable for general consumption...

RUDE,RUDE,RUDE!!
