Very true.  While I personally found the original comment to be of poor 
taste (no pun intended--honest), I realized that sometimes you have to
give some people a good "thwack" to get them going.  It certainly seems to
have performed this function!  I don't know about you, but I know some females
that wouldn't bat an eye at things that could turn my stomache.

Let's try to get some interesting discussion going here, now that people seem
to be looking at the group.
