To All the People I've Offended...

King Toad is a GameWright children's game where as part of play the players have to say "Ribbit", then poke out their tongue from 1 to 4 times, then say "Ribbit" again. I submitted to BGG photos of Big Ben showing how a toad catches insects:


and Little Ben getting it half right:

The pictures were rejected because they didn't show the game, were irrelevant, and were offensive.

Eminem said it best.

I'd long suspected that you could offend people without even trying.

Was it a "standard" response, or did they choose those words specifically in response to these photos?

It's one of the standard responses. It also pisses me off that in games that require people to behave in some way, if you take a photo of a person behaving in that way the photo gets rejected unless there was a card or something in the photo.
