That's a good question. But if they don't re-release it, then the ones that people own should be tradeable and moveable. That's what I said in my OP.

OMG Zynga's phones were ringing off the wall with people who got other people to call so most of them were not even players.

There wasn't a copyright issue AFAIK. There are tons of lip urinals that are all over. If Zynga worried about copyright we wouldn't have tons of items. It was the complainers that got it yanked so fast.


So true. Then they tried to complain about th Wave pic...Imagewe still have. REMEMBER THIS? Image Still have

I must have been on my sabbatical with the items you are talking about. Do you have a Yo picture of them?

Yeah, I can see this being a hot topic as it does stereotype a people and that's wrong. The Lips Urinal is more art, than stereo type yk?

Then you should say the same for religious items, such as the Celtic Cross, Menorah Hat, Kwanza items, Angel-related items, all Good VS Evil items, etc. Nothing better than good ole indoctrination!

I agree with you. Had those glasses been released under a theme other than China, then it wouldn't be so flagrant. Seems like it would have been better to make and release eye shapes of all kinds as we are a global community.

I wanted this urinal lol. I don't have an issue with any item in game. Honestly none of the items have offended me. I'm not religious but I don't go and complain about religious symbols. I'm not violent but I don't go and complain about bloody or violent items, etc etc etc. This is a game that mocks reality and I can fully embrace that. If an item isn't for you then it's not for you. People need to be open to a bit of cheekiness from time to time because you will certainly encounter it. Just how I see it. :lol: If this urinal came back out I'd freal buy em up and decorate my first ever bathroom!!!!!!!!

I think they should remove all offensive items (even if just 1 person finds it offensive) ... and they should make sure every yopplayer has the exact same inventory... we should all be the exact same, with the exact same items, then there will be no jealousy, no hating for not having... no complaining that the players missed out... no price jacking would happen ...

we could also have a dress code, where everyone has to dress the exact same in order to enter the game.. a daily posting of what should be worn would assist us greatly in accomplishing that :)

anyone want to add anything??? 0.o

Oh gosh yes! I would love to see an expanse on ethnic diversity including the splash screens not only being white :-)

Zynga was very ethno-centric and sexist with clothes etc. Including the non-players that were "darker" as bellhops, janitors etc. I'n not sure how many people noticed, but it seemed pretty clear to me.

but, having individuals, with individual preferences, creates a certain amount of havoc... people had the chance to buy the gary pants for instance, yet they only wanted them when they saw they were removed.. then they complain they got no notice of items leaving...

if every item is in the store, and we all have the same things, and dress the same, then there will be no hate or jealousy.... we could even all change our names so we have the exact names as well.. no sense in having individuality in the game.. helll no!!!
