I'll be honest: I'm 38 years old, and I think it's pretty funny to get "penis" up on the Jumbotron. I don't think I'd do it, but I would certainly have a good laugh if I witnessed it.

Let's do a search for the threshold age. I'm 26, and I'd probably do it.

I wrote the article and I think it's funny

I am 41, and I would find it terribly offensive. There can be children watching and...

No. Just kidding, I'd find it funny.

I'm a mature adult and find such childishness stupid.

I'm a mature adult and find such childishness refreshing and needed in this world.

Mature adults don't call other people childish.

They might hold the opinion, but they also recognize a few things like how that is a matter of taste, and how tastes differ, and how that's ok and there is no one true taste, and if there were it would be inexcusable to assume that they embodied it, and aside from all of that even given poor taste, the importance of decorum is context sensitive, there are almost no absolutes and there is at least a few times & places for things that are normally unwanted, etc etc etc.

Also, if a 15 year old really did come with the somewhat self-referential hack "the PEN IS mightier than the sword", I can only tip my hat to them !

That's great! It won't stop people, myself included, from having a mini-flashback to childhood by doing something childish, but you're welcome to sit right next to me, being mad about it. :)
