Taylors Tarzan is no Fornicator --
Says Kissogram Man
Lipsmackers - the company which is at the heart of the Taylors Hill furore over their 'stripogram' m a n have hit out at both the media and the school for overreacting to an innocent act.
A company spokesman claims the 'Stripogram is in actual fact your regular 'Kissogram", and it 'does not lend itself to fornica tion'. Although the artist wears a Tarzan-like suit, it is no more revealing that a child dressed in pampers, he says.. The 'Kissogram' was be ing blamed for the students being suspended from the school, when it was merely one of several events the students had staged, which had upset the school's teaching staff, he claims.. 'Lipsmackers is set to amuse and surprise its clients, but it is not established to hurt, insult. or disgust anyone.' 'It was innocent and de cent and in no way intend ed to offend.' The spokesman says maybe he was naive in ac cepting the job and he regrets that students have been suspended. T will be very cautious in accepting jobs like this again but I am stunned by the reaction, although I respect the feelings of the nuns.' The spokesman says he does not regret having peformed at the school, but he does regret the upset to parents and pupils by the resulting furore. 'We wish them every success in their exams.'
