Unfortunate resemblance

goobertown
Our new home is just down the road from Goobertown.

Really.

Goobertown, Ark. It's a real place with a general store and everything. And it's also home to the Goobertown Christmas Tree Farm.

For the uninitiated, a goober is a slang term for a peanut. The Christmas tree farm sign features a goober in a Santa Claus hat, with mittens and boots. (See photo above.)mr-hankey-howdy-ho

But the jarring thing about it is that the Goobertown Christmas Tree  Farm goober bears an unfortunate resemblance to South Park's Mr. Hanky, the Christmas Poo.

I doubt that we're the first people to notice it, but it's worth noting.

Wow!
It really is Mr. Hanky! How uncanny, I wonder if the folks at 'South Park' know they are infringing on Goobertown's Copyrights!
