A newly opened store catering to very pampered dogs, especially female dogs, is getting more than questioning looks for its name, High Maintenance Bitch. The sign is the issue more than products such as Gel-ous Bitch bath gel and Street Walker paw cleanser, said Kara Ceriello, co-president of the Wallingford Chamber of Commerce…Over the next three years they hope to open 10 stores at a cost of about $200,000 each. “Our store is a dog store, but the concept and philosophy is directed specifically toward women,” store owner Lori Pacchiano said.

Wow, with so much going on in the world, this is what they have a problem with? A sign that describes exactly what it sells: stuff for spoiled, girly dogs, aka bitches. LOL. I also find it interesting that the owner doesn’t even try to defend her decision for such name, but she actually confirms that “yes, it is directed towards women.” So she’s not denying that women are like female dogs?

Because I’m a huge Simpsons fan, this reminds me of the episode where Santa’s Little Helper gets a female friend:

Bart: Me and Santa’s Little Helper used to be a team, but he never wants to play anymore since his bitch moved in.
Marge: Bart! Don’t ever say that word again!
Bart: Well, that’s what she is– I looked it up.
Marge: Well, I’m going to write the dictionary people and have that checked. Sounds like a mistake, to me.

Oh, that smart-mouthed Bart.
