Required Feeding

Reuters Oslo reports that "Norway's largest erotic chain store was forced to change the labeling on products such as penis pasta, candy cuffs and chocolate body paint, to comply with Norwegian food regulations."

I love this story on so many levels.

Now, where shall I begin?

Is it the fact that Norway in fact has an erotic chain store? I'm giggling as I envision really bad puns for store names like Ho Depot or Ball-Mart.

Maybe it's the fact that there is someone who collects a paycheck for analyzing the ingredients on penis pasta and declaring them to be, um, inedible by Norwegian standards.

"We were a bit surprised to have the food safety authority on inspection. Food is not really our core product," Kjersti Antonsen, a sexual adviser in the store, told a top tabloid.

Huh, ya think? You mean horny and hungry Norwegians don't actually pop over to their neighborhood erotic-arias for a nutritious and delicious penis pasta salad followed by a fun and tasty round of tasty chocolate body painting? And how do I get a job as a sexual adviser? And what does her business card look like? But I digress.

The food safety authority also said the store also breached rules of importing erotic candy, which should be reported to authorities at least 24 hours before arrival. Yeah. Right. We always ask them to warn us first- but they never ever do.

As you were...
