Some Broadway theater-goers were in for a surprise when an image of a flaccid penis was shown on the backdrop of Will Ferrell's "You're Welcome America. A Final Night With George W. Bush" performance. Adam McKay, Ferrell's partner in the website FunnyOrDie.com as well as the play's director, says, "It's an anonymous but age appropriate public domain Internet penis." I'm stumped as to how the folks who chose to walk out of the production were offended - it's a body part, not a porn-shot, and if you're attending a show specifically lampooning the former "president", you've got to expect some pot-shots. Can I have your seat, please? I'd give anything to see this performance - and not just because of the penis!
