Life sized cardboard cutout of Beatrice Arthur


Ive been having medical issue and can no longer use this for its intended purpose. Free to a good home email me to arrange pick up if no replies she is going in the trash :(

What on earth IS the intended purpose of a lifesized cardboard cutout of Bea Arthur? And what medical issue would prevent said use? The mind boggles.

    Maybe they’ve gone blind and they can’t see it any more.
    My only other ideas creep me the hell out.

    This one is so painful. Is the medical issue that he’s been treated with necrophilia and now that she’s dead, his psychiatrist has advised that masturbating to it would set him back…?

    The mind boggles.

    Now, personally, I would love to own a life-size cardboard cutout of Bea Arthur. I almost medically need one, so much do I need one. Why would he/she put such a thing in the trash? Does it really take up that much space? Just hide it behind a door! But, in that case, one might forget it’s there and shut the door and… well. That might be scary.

      Absolutely. And then we could start another urban legend like the one from “Look Who’s Talking” with the cardboard cutout of Ted Danson. Only this time it will be of a dead person. Imagine the possibilities, should be good for a ton of laughs.

    Ouch! Ouch! OUCH!!
    This hurts my brain!

    (Maybe the medical condition is an allergy to cardboard….or Bea Arthur…or….life-sized stuff….or normalcy)

    Maybe this should also be tagged under “fun with pictures”….

    “Medical issue” = massive paper cuts, perhaps?

      Eyes crunched closed, hands over ears, going ‘la la la la I can’t hear you’! I seriously don’t want to know anymore about this ad. In fact I will stop thinking about it now! Thx!

    This is just creepy…I can’t even think of what this would be used for and I’m not going to push it…I think my mind is blocking all those thoughts out to protect itself!

    I think it’s pretty clear what the “medical issue” is, but my brain just doesn’t want to process it…

    Why would he bother to add the caveat of a “good home” for it if it will otherwise be going into the trash?

    Please tell me this wasn’t posted in M4W or W4M!!!!

    In my search for the logic, I’m guessing the poster has to move due to illness (not being able to work.) And its “intended purpose” of wall art cannot be accomodated in the new accomadations? Lord, please let this be the reason?!

    The only thing that could improve this ad is if it mentioned being “slightly stained.”

    it’s quite clear this person has some sort of connection to this cut-out because the poster says, “SHE is going in the trash,” not “IT is going in the trash.”

    poor bea, at least have the decency to recycle HER!

    If it’s still available at this late date, I’d take it in a minute; it would fit my condo’s “Maude”-ern decor.

    I know that at my house my roommate uses cardboard cutouts at her dinner parties/regular parties. It is always nice to have the half-naked fireman, the random red dress busty woman, and Austin Powers to laugh at (especially after breaking out the tequila or the wine). I think Bea Arthur would be a grand addition to my roommate’s fold. XD

    Also, we sometimes tape a picture of her grandmother’s face to red boob woman’s body and joke that she is having an affair with the hot half-naked fireman. Usually this only happens if Grandma is there to see it and joke with us. ^__^

      I really go to the wrong parties. We never have cardboard cutouts lifesize or otherwise.

    I want to know what qualifies as “a good home” for a cardboard cutout.

      I had roommates who took life size cardboard cutouts to the nearest rural area that allowed target shooting, and set them up as targets. I would imagine that’s not a good home for Bea. And the cutouts never came back from these outings. I would think there should be a museum somewhere that would have taken this as a donation.
