WTF photo of the day
I can kind of see how someone in Germany decided to name a receptacle for feminine hygiene products a "Lady Bag". Certainly, much worse offenses against the English language exist here.
My ability to comprehend this item, however, ends at the graphic.
Any ideas?

If you don't use the Lady Bag, they will hunt you down and kill you.
I didn't think the German Hygiene Police carried revolvers...
I certainly don't get the relation btw. bag and graphic either.. Do love the 'poem' though :)
Everything I think of is just too gross.
well, I know I'm much more likely to break out a handgun and kick some ass when in need of a lady bag. Maybe it's violence prevention? (A in Genf)
I'm with Global Librarian. I picture little, old ladies hunting people down and scold them to death.
I'm sorry, I can't stop laughing about the rhyming action they got at the bottom w/the poem thing!!
the gun, the gun??!!?! was there some company logo on there who makes it? if so you should totally contact them to find out...weirdos!
Whoah. That IS weird. What in the world were they thinking? And the "damit nichts daneben geht" just tops it all off. Eeew.
My sister took note of this one when she was in Germany. She stole a few and took them home and I think she later figured out that the gun is a logo of some company? I don't remember for sure. I'll send her the link to here. :)
I saw the "damit" too thinking of the closeness to English curses, after already laughing outloud ;-D
I'm the sister of C N Heidelberg, above, and it's true I noticed this when I visited... here's what I wrote about it in my blog when I came back:
"It was also in the bathroom of this restaurant that I first saw the feminine-product disposal bag with “Lady Killer” [clearly I mis-remembered that detail, probably because of the gun image] printed on them, complete with images of handguns. And I thought to myself, WTF is this about? I later discovered Lady Killer was the brand name of the entire feminine-product-related bathroom line."
It's starting to come back to me a LITTLE, and I think I just noticed more stuff in bathrooms with the same gun logo, i.e. receptacles for used feminine products, tampon dispensers, etc. I'm trying to google it and coming up with very little, although I did actually find a couple of websites that were collections of pictures of weird feminine hygiene bags all over the world!
Here's a link of someone who has bags for swap!

There are Lady Bag images in there, but no real explanation!
Here's the company that makes them:

Of course I can't read anything ;)
Wow, you have to love the product names Ille comes up with (on the link Sara posted). Big Willy? Hanky Panky? Pasty Paddy? Triple Willy!
lol - just weird but obviously makes for great conversation!
I can't decide what's funnier - that Sara and I both stole these bags, or that there's someone out there who steals and collects bags everywhere he goes.
