[Santa’s Butt beer controversy](http://pressherald.mainetoday.com/news/local/061201beerlabels.html)

I thank heavens every day that I live in a State so vigilant that even beer bottle labels must past muster. Oh the thought of innocent drunks or children being exposed to Santa’s Butt just make my cheeks turn red. 😃

I thought there were dozens of beers and small-bottle cocktails with gross out names these days. Plus plenty with devils and women with less on than they allow at the beach.
