What's this, the weekend magazine of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch has pictured miscegenation in action, and the locals are outraged! Imagine this photo, where your kids could see. Let's explore the comments, shall we? Yes:

The paper chose to illustrate its wantonly sexual and scandalous story "The 7 Best Places to Smooch" with this photo of a (real!) interracial couple, locked in what is clearly a smooch, right out in the open, in front of children. So this caused a "controversy" which the paper dutifully blogged about, and that post itself has already generated 21 pages of comments, so let's see some of the very best!

1. Why can't anyone give an intelligent answer, hmm?

2. What about my rights to bloody dead animals and all-white baseball leagues?

3. Stop calling me mentally unstable!

4. FACTS, people.

5. Finally, an intelligent voice. Gimme datazzzzzz.

[via St. Louis P-D. Yes, this was too easy to be respectable, oh well.]
