Seattle’s Eagle, the McDonald’s of leather daddy bars, was threatened with closure because of the photo below showing a barely visible penis behind the chain link fence.

Dan Savage was annoyed with the Liquor Board at first, but after some thought he realized that he agreed with them, that dicks don’t belong in bars. And then he did a investigating of his own.

After I came around to the Liquor Control Board’s POV on this — dicks in bars are menace… — I began to wonder if dicks were a problem at other bars in the area. To find out I went on a bar crawl yesterday during happy hour and what do you know? I saw dick pretty much everywhere I went. And I took pictures. …  I’ve covered up the dicks in these shocking photos with the faces of the [Seattle Liquor Board members] working hard to protect us all from dicks in bars.

Dick at O’Asian, a bar across the street from City Hall popular with city hall staffers:

Dick at Collins Pub, a bar frequented by deputy mayor Tim Ceis:

Dick at the Spitfire Grill, site of Christine Gregoire’s election-night party:

So I rushed to council chambers to speak with my elected representatives about all these dicks everywhere and—no way!

Dan Savage concludes that we must think of the women and children, and he urges Seattle residents to send public cock shots of their own to the Liquor Board in order to help the organization understand the full extent of the “growing public menace” that is dicks in bars. (See uncensored dick shots in Savage’s brilliant post.)
