Penises of Paradise:<\/strong> You could be forgiven for thinking a post with this subtitle refers to the prowess of the male Mutineers. Alas, our significant others demand truth in advertising. Actually, our old friend Beads of Paradise<\/a> has thrown a new wrinkle into its exotica-dealing ways<\/a>: it’s encircled Ganesh with a garland of penises. A dangle-sutra. A dick-lace.<\/p>\n\n

I’m bemused by the dildos strewn around the feet of the idols, and the well-hung Buddhas dangling off Christmas trees. Is this Inuit<\/a>-Hindu totemic mashup? Is it a newfangled fertility ritual?

A<\/span>BC Home<\/a> has suddenly redone exactly one window in its holiday display, the one treating a Ganesh statue like a bathroom decoration<\/a>. Were there complaints? Is someone newly enlightened? Does someone at ABC (shock) read SM? Here’s the sanitized window:<\/div>\n\n
