The state of Vermont is up in arms over Burton Snowboard’s Playboy line of boards, affectionately called “Love”. The controversy has struck such a cord, that residents has ceased making maple syrup, smoking pot, and taking secession to start another political movement.

And who better to lead such a movement than the Girl Scout council of Vermont?

Burton Snowboards, located in Vermont’s largest city since 1992, cemented its reputation among Vermonters as a progressive company through employee benefits such as matching child-care payments and paying for half of a worker’s gym membership.

Yet the company has found itself at the center of a grow ing controversy in the liberal state, with residents, students, and politicians debating free speech and sexism on the ski slopes. The Burlington City Council discussed asking Burton to withdraw the boards, and the Girl Scout Council of Vermont is considering taking concerns to lawmakers next month.

This is obviously just a publicity stunt for the Girl Scout council of Vermont because it’s a known fact that they consistently finish 47th in the country for annual cookie sales, despite being in the state with the most stoners per capita.

Also, it should be noted that besides being a resource for visual stimulation while waiting in long lift lines, these snowboards can be used to create comedic bliss…
