Theme Park No Place for Cock Jokes (Unless You’re at Six Flags)

Speaking of bad context, AdFreak observes an awkward instance for wood: at a theme park.

If you’ve seen Shrek, you know it’s possible to incorporate raunchy grown-up giggles into apparently tame kid-fare without looking like a total asshat.

Six Flags Great Adventure in Jersey has yet to learn this subtle art, considering they erected a gigantor billboard for their big wooden El Toro ride upon which is writ “It’s good to have wood” – right over the head of the perennially cheerful Bugs Bunny.

While they were at it, they might as well have gone all the way and made a cock-shaped roller coaster in the style of the French. Then El Toro would have been aptly named.
