			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.bachelorette.com/erotic-penis-candies-chocolate.html"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-138" title="penis_candy" src="http://www.benjitao.com/benjitao_blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/penis_candy-1024x895.jpg" alt="penis_candy" width="553" height="483" /></a>Above is a product picture for &#8220;<a href="http://www.bachelorette.com/erotic-penis-candies-chocolate.html">Chocolate Erotic Penis Candies</a>&#8221; from <a href="http://www.bachelorette.com/">bachelorette.com</a>, a bachelorette party supply company.  The product itself is pretty self explanatory and somewhat interesting &#8211; it&#8217;s simply chocolate shaped to look like penises.  What&#8217;s more interesting, however, is the product descrption you&#8217;ll find on their website.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The first part is pretty standard and what you would expect to find in an item description for penis shaped candies:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;">Chocolate Erotic Penis Candies will add flair to your bachelorette party snack table. Penis-shaped party favors are always a big hit at bachelorette parties, and the Chocolate Erotic Penis Candies are a tiny treat that will amuse and charm your guests.</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;">So I can kind of agree with this first part of the description&#8230;a bunch of girls giggling when they are snacking on some chocolate penis candies at a bachelorette party.  However, the second part of the description gets more interesting:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;">Chocolate Erotic Penis Candies are a<span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong> great choice for an African American bachelorette. It is hard to find bachelorette party items for black women to enjoy.</strong></span></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #000000;">WHAT!?</span><strong> </strong><span style="color: #000000;">Penis shaped candies are a great choice for African American bachelorettes?  Where did they come up with that? </span></span><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #000000;">Why do African American bachelorettes like penis shaped candy?  Is it because they like penises or is it because like African Americans chocolate is also black in color?</span></span><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #000000;"> Without any additional explanation I can only conclude the following:</span></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #000000;">If you are an Asian or Caucasian bachelorette you would not enjoy snacking on penis candies as much as black bachelorettes</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #000000;">Black bachelorettes enjoy penis-related items more than bachelorettes of other races</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #000000;">Black bachelorettes are hard to shop for</span></span></li>
</ul>
<p>In case you don&#8217;t believe anyone would write a product description like that (or in case the website changes the description) I have included a screen shot of the description:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.benjitao.com/benjitao_blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/picture-1.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-140" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="erotic-chocloate-penis-candies-description" src="http://www.benjitao.com/benjitao_blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/picture-1.png" alt="erotic-chocloate-penis-candies-description" width="647" height="181" /></a></p>
<p>Yeah, I think this pretty racist and un-called for, but at the same time it definitely makes typically boring product descriptions much more interesting.  Imagine if <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Texas-Instruments-TI-30X-Scientific-Calculator/dp/B00000JBNX/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3?ie=UTF8&amp;s=electronics&amp;qid=1234168815&amp;sr=8-3">Amazon</a> started doing product descriptions like this:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.benjitao.com/benjitao_blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/scientific-calculator.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-139" title="scientific-calculator" src="http://www.benjitao.com/benjitao_blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/scientific-calculator.png" alt="scientific-calculator" width="600" height="175" /></a>If you are going to be racist, you might as well go all the way&#8230;</p>
