Back to school proved a day to remember for grade school kids in Essen, Germany—German children received pens with erotic images in their standard cardboard cones that are normally filled with treats.
Adolf Reichwein School students of the northwestern German city were given cones, on their first day of school, which display erotica. Those pens were directly provided by members of the German Communist Party. Kids who received the projector pens are age six—parents less than happy to discover that their children had been given projector pens, displaying projections of naked women.
Apparently the mix-up stems from what the German Communist Party says were pens purchased from a discount store. The Communist Party says it was told the pens lit up at the push of a button--not an untrue statement.
"The German Communist Party deeply regrets what has happened and is outraged that this kind of thing, which borders on pornography, can be purchased in normal shops," says the statement. The Communist Party adds that its lawyers are now investigating whether the vendors distributing those pens can be prosecuted.
Moral of the story—don’t screw with the Communist Party.
