– That was supposed to be a figure of speech: A Chinese candy company accidentally supplied candy stores all over New Zealand’s South Island with bags of dicks—technically, bags of phallus-shaped candy, but I like my way of saying it.

– For the mourner on the go: A funeral home in Michigan is offering drive-thru viewings (h/t Amy).

I’ll just leave it at that.

– Math just got interesting: A Thai textbook publisher recalled a math textbook once someone (presumably anonymously) notified them that what they probably thought was a stock photo of a teacher on the book’s cover was actually a Japanese porn star. I’m not entirely sure what the big deal is, as the picture is of a fully-clothed woman holding a folder while standing in front of a chalkboard with math-related stuff written on it. I guess the association with adult entertainment renders people unable to avoid the thought that she is naked underneath her teacher costume.

I don’t feel terribly scandalized, do you? (Via thaich.net, rocketnews24.com.)

UPDATE (09/21/2014): An astute reader pointed out that this is likely to be a copyright issue, not a “corrupting the minds of youth with not-quite-porn.” A more accurate headline (in a legal sense) would be “Publisher recalls textbook after mistaking copyrighted work for stock photo,” but I got bored just typing that sentence. (Also, my reprinting of the photo in question is totally Fair Use, in case you were wondering.)
