Blow me
Featured in the July, 2004 issue of Cactus Coffee Talk (a small publication full of office-type and email humor -- you know the kind I mean) was an apology "From the Editor's Desk" (pretty much the only evidence that a throwaway such as this even has an editor) for the perceived offensiveness of a blow dryer cartoon that was apparently critical of the holy sacrament of matrimony.

"We have always avoided religion, politics, and other humor which may be deemed dirty, degrading, controversial or inappropriate," says the editor. "Our policy is to print good, clean fun for everyone to enjoy."
Sincere? Probably overmuch. Or is it? Look at the cartoons the editor printed right across the page from his apology.
