Camel Toads vs. Camel Toes

Tuesday's "camel toe" post here at The Churning got a pretty strong reaction. I decided I should follow it up somehow, so I did a little digging. Turns out not everyone is familiar with this phenomenon. Case in point: this ridiculous advice column I found over at The Intersection of 13 and 13:

(Click image to enlarge)

The "Uninformed Reader" is either a skilled prankster or completely out of touch. The premise is a little dubious. A kid wrote a letter to his buddy saying he wanted to go to the pool to scout out "camel toes" and somehow an iced tea mishap made the words look like "camel toads." Sounds like a gag to me, but let's assume the letter is the real deal.

Does this mean the kid is a junior perv in training, or does he just have a healthy curiosity about women and sex? I wonder if the answer to this question will be different for women and men. Mel pointed out that in the comments section of the previous camel toe post it seemed like women thought the picture was nasty and men couldn't stop drooling over it.

Thanks to The Aardvark for this update from Snopes:
The column first appeared in the Hays Daily News, a Kansas paper, back in June. Snopes checked with the columnist who says, "I recognized the handwriting on the envelope as being from someone who writes in frequently, if anonymously â€” always legitimate questions, so I have no reason to suspect this particular question was a fraud. "

Dude. If being sex obsessed is wrong, I don’t wanna be right.

I love women, naked, clothed or otherwise. I love oogling them all. In fact, let’s go oogle some right now!

Hmm… maybe I should send this woman a letter to find out what my sister means when she says she likes to give “below jobs”.

You mean camel toads aren’t the ones you lick and hallucinate from?

Ahhh, but she said nothing about licking Camel Toes being wrong though.
My favorite color is ‘skin’.

LOL @ Maine, ask her if she wouldn’t mind giving me one of them ‘below jobs’

No Diane Camel toads are the ones you do stupid things just to get the chance to lick.

Ev:
I second that.

Aardvark:
Thanks for the tip!

Dave:
Well, the Sudoku comes pretty close.

Maine:
You may want to have a little talk with your sister to clear that up. Soon.

Diane:
Umm.. you could lick them I guess.
I think ‘cane toads’ are the ones that people lick to get high.

MacBros:
Good point. That’s because there’s nothing wrong with licking camel toes, unless you don’t have permission.

Charles:
The term ‘camel toads’ is a misunderstanding. The kid in the article was actually referring to ‘camel toes.’ This is a camel toe.

Croaker:
Too true.

Jomilkman: I love that skit!!!!!! I wish more people new about it, so I wouldn’t look like such a goober when I bust out in the chorus of “Camel Toe Annie, dun dun dun dun, Camel Toe Annie….”

I was crying on my living room floor watching that skit…

Jomilkman:
I’ve gotta see that! I love Conan’s show, but I haven’t seen it in quite a while. I should TiVo that shit.

Christa:
C’mon now – At least the kid in the article has a hobby. It’s like bird watching.

Mojotek:
Now I’ve definitely got to see it.

After carefull study of the documented jpg, I’d like to clarify that the camel toe is in the lower blue region, as opposed to the big guns in the green area. I mean even Codd and Einstein had to clarify ‘perfect’ theorys! And, I have a need to know!

what is wrong with that woman?????

the only thing he should be scared of s herself and her schizophrenic mentality!!!!!

I have also heard of the hallucinative effect of licking some type of exotic frog, which I will guarantee any of you “concerned” squizo’s that you won’t find in your local pool. I would personally ask the lady, what exactly she was looking for when cleaning oiut that room?!?!?

protein stains? porn? cigs? come on guys it is ok to be worried about your kids, but this is TOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!! I mean come on, you’re predisposing yourself into fining things that you “don’t”want to find, this has self fulfilling prophecy written all over it.

Let me tell you about the kids quest camel toe search….. it is completely normal!!!!! get out of the house more often, and actually have a chat with the kid every now and then if you’re that concerned, if he would trust you and vice versa, there wouldn’t be a need for you to be “cleaning the room” would it?

If you knew the kid well, and the things that he’s up to you would definetly KNOW that it wasn’t TOADS that he was gonna to the pool for!
