Did you guys see Obama usher in the era of change.gov yesterday? It was great and all, but I was mostly just wondering if Aretha Franklin’s hat will start appearing in the hottest club kid fashions this year.

But even in this time of change.gov and amazing bedazzled hats, there are still mothers getting outraged and thinking about the children. This Canadian mother, Trina Campbell, is not so happy with BUTT magazine right now. Did you know that some people might consider BUTT magazine pornography? And that they sell it at such family friendly organizations as American Apparel? It’s not like American Apparel has a reputation for employing coke head wastoids. Also American Apparel ads are the pinnacle of good taste and family values. You’ve seen them right?

So why is it that Trina thinks publications with images such as the following (of my lovely friend Ethan featured on the BUTT blog) need to be wrapped in yellow plastic with a text explaining that this is for readers 18 and up?

Do you think that if a similar scandal happened in the United States soon that Barack Obama will protect our rights to show our body parts as however we want in whatever publications? Do you think that Trina would have taken offense had this been a heterosexual publication? Do you think American Apparel should discriminate by censoring nudity aimed at homosexuals featuring men who like men while still maintaining a brand image largely aimed at heterosexual hipsters which feature females in compromising positions? Most importantly, were you able to spot my butt in the most recent issue #25 of BUTT magazine?

Really hope Barack Obama will unite us in one nation under intelligent hipster porn, guys. Laterz. Gonna go to AmerApar later today and get some new underwear I think. They have so many colors!
