Love that a female customer went into a #HobbyLobby store today to do this. (Original Post) kpete Jul 2014 OP
That is great! Thank you, my dear kpete. n/t CaliforniaPeggy Jul 2014 #1

Resetting, rearranging those blocks after some unattended 10 year old spells out "fuck", "fart", "penis... cock... dick", etc.

Yeah... that was me, I had that kind of childhood.

It's no wonder my mother had to restrain me with a harness.

I imagine some of the women workers and maybe some of the men might just leave it go for a little while. Say they didn't notice even if their job entailed resetting the blocks every now and again.

This is so awesome. Thanks for posting.

That said, I would still drop red paint balls out of my vagina if I could but I am menopausal.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]That's definitely not a Costco store shelf.

Poster might mean a Costco regular doing this in a K-Mart or someplace similar?

Over 90% of their customers must be women. Even without a formal boycott, won't this hurt their business in a major way?

They're concentrated in ultra conservative areas, so they're probably fundies anyway

Instead, haul them into court for perjury. We have ample evidence they lied about their sincerely held beliefs

You are correct in one sense, this won't overturn that decision, but little acts like this plus protests and mass boycotts will give pause to future "Hobby Lobbys" for trampling on the rights of its' workers.

As for "precedent" from what I understand, the Supreme Court declared their decision wasn't to be construed as precedent, sort of like Bush vs Gore.

Of course it won't change it but it sure makes me feel better getting a chuckle...we need to
change court justices before they all turn 95. how about a LIMIT...in 40 years things in America DO CHANGE and 80 year old MEN CHANGE ALRIGHT...they become cantankerous morons who cannot hear, cannot see and SMELL BAD....with dementia and/or alzheimers, or for Gods sake BOTH.

or even this



but haven't come up yet with the most effective place to plop them. Scattering little red vulvae around a Hobby Lobby could probably get somebody busted; dumping hot pink uteri at the Supreme Court building might even get you shot dead. So where?

... and stop in to do the same trick with the blocks. I just thought of something else. Get a big box of cheap prophylactics and go around all over the store and hide them like Easter eggs.
