A group about "squirting" ?

On paper?

And they're actually letting other people touch them and _buy_ them?

Gross!

They're calling it a business, but it sounds more like a judicable 
offence to me.


The word "giclee" is great for a whole range of obscure obscene jokes.

But:

Using the word giclee to describe a photographic printing process is 
monumentally insulting to the intelligence of photographers. And 
their potential buyers.

Trying to standardize on the word giclee to describe a photographic 
printing process is a mind-bendingly stupid idea. The hilariously 
(and, to some, disgustingly) obscene antecedents of the word will 
come back to haunt it perpetually.
