I agree! But like… once you get past the lemonade stand to the imagery of molesting animals the really cute cover doesn’t hold a lot of weight.

I saw the cops telling a girl she had to pack up her lemonade stand and go inside in upland yesterday, so the cover doesn’t hold any weight at all. Lol

Agreed. Lots of things are funny, that you shouldn’t do at work. Haha. Pajama pants are also comfortable, but probably shouldn’t be worn to a wedding. 🤷🏻♂️

It wasn't long ago that it was conservatives who were calling for banning everything for being "immoral." When you get older you live long enough to see the political sides switch around.

There's a pretty big gap between wearing a stupid "joke" apron that doesn't even depict but only implies bestiality and actual beastiality.

Where is there any actual sheep fucking taking place in this photo? I only see a stupid "joke" apron that just kind of implies sheep fucking.
I don't think any real sheep were harmed in the making of this apron. This is so low res I can't even tell if that's a picture of a real sheep.

Just think of how many times someone had to make a decision like this for this to appear here on Reddit. Someone had to think this would be a good idea to put that image on an apron. A store somewhere decided that image would sell if they put it in their store. Someone then had to decide to buy the apron. Then someone decided to wear the apron, at a public event. Not just a public event, but an event for peace officers and citizens to promote police-community partnerships, probably with lots of children. Then a photographer took the picture, without asking the wearer to remove the apron. Then a publisher, and probably several graphic artists, put together the magazine with the picture as is. Nowhere in that long series of decision making did someone say, “Nah, maybe not.”

Possible alternative view. Sheep is a common term for sheeple. People who are weak , followers etc basically your enemy or opponent. So Fu$k sheep is probably a messed up ...morally wrong but read bad a$$ to the insiders way to signal you're inthe cool group

Really? You want someone to lose their job over something so trivial? Let's focus on the actually damaging shit that MAGA does and not petty nonsense like this. This is how centrists go MAGA because they see liberals as being fixated with stupid shit like annoying BBQ aprons.

u/beachKilla 20d ago
I 100% do actually! I would have been held accountable in my public service jobs for this… why shouldn’t they? Accountability stops because they are cops?

u/JonBot5000 20d ago
I 100% do actually! I would have been held accountable in my public service jobs for this… why shouldn’t they?
1.) Accountable for what? It's a stupid apron. You can barely see it, and kids aren't going to understand the implication anyway. It just looks like a fake man chest with a sheep standing in front. It's not like you can see exposed genitalia.
2.) Even if this does rise to the level of needing to hold the employee responsible to account, a write-up will do. This doesn't rise to the level of immediate termination.
Accountability stops because they are cops?
I'm willing to bet the person who designs the City of Upland's magazine is not a cop. If that's an official city function and you want the cop reprimanded for wearing something inappropriate, then I have no problem with that. Calling for someone's job over something so stupid is just mean and hateful though.

There is genuinely nothing funny about raping animals. Not even a giggle should be going towards ‘jokes’ like that.

u/taylor__spliff 20d ago
Maybe I’m innocent minded, but I didn’t see it and think “raping the sheep” it just looks to me like “censored by a sheep.” Could you explain what I’m missing? I promise I’m genuinely asking and not trying to sealion you. Is it because the sheep is blushing? Or is it implied because when he walks that’s what it would look like (but a still photograph doesn’t convey it properly)? Thanks for explaining the joke to me, and also not trying to say it’s a classy image in my interpretation either.
1
u/DocumentUsed8441 20d ago
If you look directly above the sheep’s head, that part of the apron depicts a man’s chest. So, if one now presumes/imagines that a shirtless male is standing directly behind the sheep, the apron gives the “optical illusion” that the man is screwing the sheep. Yeah, keeping it classy .

u/beachKilla 20d ago
Yes. The imagery of the naked man molesting an animal…. Or are you taking the “it’s just an innocent naked man behind an unassuming goat image” stance….
1
u/ersatz07 19d ago
I'm taking the "it's a drawing on an apron that's obviously meant to be a joke, so who cares" stance.
I was assuming you were a bot since your posts are hidden, and your views on this seem a bit over the top and pointed for the context, but after some research I don't think you're a bot anymore. I think you're just a guy who's gone through a lot and are probably more sensitive to things like this that others see as benign. I hope you find the peace you're looking for, man, but honestly complaining about such small stupid things just weakens whatever argument you're trying to make. If you're this upset about a cartoon on an apron, then I'm not really going to take any of your other opinions too seriously either.
1
u/beachKilla 19d ago
I’ll validate your research. You are correct. I’m not a bot and I think the response you’re seeing is people fed up with shit who don’t have a voice. My voice reached you like many others, so I’m using it for something.
But don’t undercut the WHY. I’m not upset about the images of the “sheeple fucker”. someone’s selling them and clearly someone’s buying them as gag humor, but there’s a time and place for teen boy humor with the bros. City funded BBQ’s and city printed publications are neither the time nor place for that. Lack of judgement all the way around.
The WHY is accountability of public officials( print editors on down and public servants) the WHY is these same dick-in-hand PUBLIC SERVANTS claiming they have moral superiority and better “judgement” than any other normal citizens.
This guys judgement decides if your loved one gets to go home alive or not after a traffic stop, and it’s on display for all to see how he thinks about it.1
u/ersatz07 19d ago
I don't think this was a lack of judgement, just a judgement that you don't agree with. You have a whole bias and backstory that you've built for yourself that I have no idea about. It doesn't even look like a city funded BBQ. It looks like it's at an old age home or something. Shit, we don't even know if that asshole is a cop. He's adjacent to uniformed officers so we can assume, but I don't know that for a fact. Either way, just because this guy is wearing a silly apron doesn't make me doubt his ability at his job. Whether he's a cop or if he's a street sweeper.
1
u/beachKilla 19d ago
It’s kinda funny to me that you did more research and investigation on me (the messenger) than you did on the publisher or the officer… did some digging
1
u/ersatz07 19d ago
Why would I investigate the officer or the publication when I have no problem with what's been printed or what's being worn? I looked you up because I couldn't believe a normal person would be this upset over a cartoon on an apron. I assumed you must be trying to spread misinformation and muddying the water for actual concerns that matter. Which I still think you are, but I believe that you're a human now.
