"My wife walked over to me after checking out the underside of the Bean, and gave me a hug and a kiss as we enjoyed the moment. We were both dressed business casual. I had both hands behind me on the railing. Absolutely nothing distasteful was going on. On a [one through 10] scale of public affection, it was probably a two.
"A yellow-shirted park security lady came over and told us, in a very nice way, that while we look like a very romantic couple, we might be confusing the children in the area with our display.

So now a married couple kissing in public is confusing?:confused:

If it had been two male or two female fruit loops going kissy-kissy, the security lady would probably have told the children in a very nice way to give them a round of applause?

Of course it's confusing. Children in early years should not be subjected to views of men and women kissing when they are being educated and inculcated in a culture where only men may kiss men and women may kiss women.

To see a man and woman kissing is the exact opposite of what they are being taught in school.

[DeclinetoState]

Just have sex with the little lady in public and see what the security guard does . . .

My response would have been, "mind your own business...there's NOTHING confusing to a child seeing a woman kiss her husband...CAPICE???"

[S-T]

Sounds like the woman was a biddy who needs to mind her own business and STFU.

My wife walked over to me after checking out the underside of the Bean, and gave me a hug and a kiss as we enjoyed the moment. . . Absolutely nothing distasteful was going on. Idunno. Seems to me if she's checking out the underside of the Bean, it'd be worth finding out WHICH bean she was checking out.

This is, whats the word, oh right ridiculous. If they were groping e/o I could see her point-even then a polite, "you may want to think about that". However, when I went to the link I realized:
"There was no 'display.' [We were] surrounded by scantily clad 15-year-olds and punk gangster wannabes with their pants around their knees and their underwear hanging out. Is a husband planting a kiss on his wife worthy of a reprimand?
At first I thought we were talking 7 year olds. So now let me rephrase, this is totally ridiculous.

" . . . checking out the underside of the Bean . . . "

I know I'm slow and way behind on this pop culture stuff, but what is "the Bean"?

It's evidently a pretty big deal in Chicago, whatever it is.

Well, admittedly, it does confuse me sometimes.

Will she kiss me back?

Does my breath smell?

Have I pissed her off?

Did I shave close enough?

Is she in the mood?

Very confusing.

In this case, the biddy would have wanted to join in. "Diversity", you know. :limp:

It is a sculpture in Millenium park in Chicago....

For men, it looks like an ovary. For women, it looks like a testis. No wonder they got excited.

[Foquet]

Looks like a walking zit to me. :D
