Pickles and Ready whip

sounds kinky right?  or maybe a craving for a pregnant person?  (amber is not pregnant either).  

no this is the flyer that my cousins kid received as an invitation to a church in the area .  Now mind you this church is a 30 minute bus ride from where my cousin lives.  i'm sorry, but this is just wrong in several ways.  

First, location.  if someone is offering a pickle and whip cream to a kid and they are located well outside of the area, my radar is activated. 

second, perversion.  with some of the people out there today, my cousin had a right to be concerned.  

third, belittling the pickle and ready whip.  they are awesome items on their own, but in no way should they be degraded to a bribe!! (spranger's take their pickles very serious!  they are at every family gathering and during the summer they are amazing snacks.)

okay, so that last reason was joking, but ya know, as a person that works in the church and i try hard to create a safe environment and try to avoid any situations like this and it bothers me when churches use stupid ploys to lure people in.  think through your flyers please.
