Mudflap madness

I know I'm coming late to the game on this issue, but I just read a cartoon that made me giggle and it needs some back story for those of you who were unaware of the roiling controversy.

A little while ago Wyoming Public Libraries unveiled a new campaign to get people thinking about the library. The designed bumper stickers and ads and such, but one particular bumper sticker caused an uproar:








Yes, it's the iconic mudflap girl telling people that she has a book and isn't afraid to read it! I actually think it's brilliantly clever, but many people think it's sexist and inappropriate. Anyhow, this is really just preamble to showing you the following cartoon, which made me snort Dr. Pepper out my nose.

When we were in Utah, we bought a bunch of stickers with the same image, but they say "Reading is sexy!"

You can have one if you're interested.
