There is a cartoon that is somewhat two minded and often walks on the fine line between funny and tastless called Fingerpori.
Last Friday's strip was taken down in an hour or so as it was thought to cross the line, but here it is.

First some background on this spesific strip:
Finnish kiosk chain has an offer of when you buy a coffee they tell you a joke (I think each buyer gets different joke?).
On this strip the seller has run out of jokes so he invents one.
Then the actual text of the strip:
One cup of coffee.
Oh and shouldn't that come with a joke.
Well.
What do you do when you break tour tailbone?
One needs to put a splint in the butt.
Why it was taken down? That doesn't sound too bad.
Well the last sentence can be read also: One needs to fuck kid in the butt.

Why can it be taken two ways? Is it a translation thing or is it just slang?

Last sentence has double meaning.
Panna lasta: To put a splint or to fuck a child.
Many of these strips rely on double meanings.
Some of the strips have been translated in to english:

The art style almost reminds me of The Far Side, which I was a huge fan of.
