For The Love Of Peter, Please Stop The Penis Slang!

Queens Tribune’s Q Confidential reports on a mysterious Morningwood “billboard thrashing”:

A New York band named for a slang term regarding a man’s status when he awakens from his slumbers got someone off to a bad start along the Horace Harding.

Signs advertising a band named “Morningwood” popped up on the L.I.E. service road but this spontaneous case of “wood” didn’t last long.

The band’s promoters must have thought it a good idea to erect posters on a construction wall that sits on the westbound side of the service road near Utopia Parkway promoting their new self-titled album. The up-and-coming band, considered part of the punk rock genre, is fronted by female singer Chantal Claret and is quickly taking the rock world by storm. So a multitude of pink posters saying, “Morningwood is on the rise,” arose.

The Morningwood signs were soon completely torn down. Other suggestively titled music stars such as “The Strokes” and “Biggy Smalls” managed to stay up during the mysterious billboard thrashing.

“Popped up,” “erect,” “arose” — please make it stop!
