Most people believe Summa Cum Laude is an honor ... Publix grocery store believes it's obscene.
Case in point ... this cake.
A woman in South Carolina ordered the tasty treat online to celebrate her son graduating from his homeschool program with a 4.79 GPA ... earning Summa Cum Laude honors.
But, when she sent a friend to pick up the cake, the word "Cum" was edited out -- an apparent violation of the grocery store's obscenity policy!!!!
"My son was humiliated," the woman posted on her Facebook page ... "I seriously couldn't make this crap up!!!"
"How utterly ridiculous and I will be speaking to a manager for a refund. Shame on you Publix for turning an innocent Latin phrase into a total embarrassment for having to explain to my son and others (including my 70 year old mother) about this joke of a cake."
FYI, "Summa Cum Laude" is a Latin phrase that means "with highest honor."
Just make sure your safe search is on if you put it in Google ...
“Attitude is everything . . . I think that’s pretty funny”
It takes so much energy to be furious. I think the situation is amusing and would enjoy the story that went with the cake if I were in the situation.
If your son was humiliated, you may need to re-inflate their safe space. Just call the store, get your money back, enjoy the free cake - you know, like an adult.
My gosh, what a friggin mountain out of a molehill...
Making sure we don’t get good docs amd lawyers in our country. Many HS I know teach their children Latin.
Ignorance is bliss?
Not for everyone.
Yet, I find this ironic, mama say: “”My son was humiliated,” the woman posted on her Facebook page ... “I seriously couldn’t make this crap up!!!”
Mama don’t sound like no mother of a suma coom Lauder.
Mama partake and spread the same crass craven culture that makes the ignant think cum is dirty.
Hoisted by our own petards, mama.
Yeah. Can’t mama sue the bakery and make a lot of dough and put them out of business?
The state says you must write on the cake!
Idiot mother. Her son is graduating from high school and she thinks he doesn't know the meaning of the word "c--".
They make these little tubes of colored frosting that you can actually use to write words on the cake yourself! Amazing, I know. Life is just too tough on some people I guess.
.
The Latin “Cum,” the root of cumulative.
Too tough for fascist snowflakes.
Summa Jizz Laude?
.
He’s already in orbit?
“It takes so much energy to be furious.”
I agree, but I gotta admit, she’s got spunk!
Bake the cake even if the other word was intended... who are you to judge... that’s the law these days...
Unfortunately, there’s probably good reasons why Publix’s bakeries have rules. Just think of all the requests for porno and obscene cakes Publix must get, the vulgarity, sleaze and filth is probably endless.
I suppose ‘Tube Glue’ wouldn’t fly either huh?..........
Publix is a great place to shop, and I hate seeing them get kind of bad publicity. Overall, the people they hire are as nice as can be — they can’t do enough for you.
Or a 3-D frosting printer at home!
The ignorance out there is astonishing.
