Its your own damn fault

So says the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board.

"The ads send the message that women are not only at fault for getting themselves raped—a societal bias reflected in and re-enforced by too many court decisions—it’s your fault if your friend gets raped, too."

Not just her fault, but mine as well. At least they eventually listened to reason and pulled the ad.

Whole lotta shakin goin on

A 5th grade teacher from the small Texas city of Cleburne is the only person known to have been arrested for and convicted of possession of a vibrator. Apparently she was having a sex toy party and sold one to an undercover officer.

A vibrator sting? You gotta be kidding. But this is no joke. The young woman can no longer teach, because she is now a registered sex offender.

Vibrators have existed and been sold as sexual stimulation devices for untold years.

Sustainable pleasure?

I can’t decide if this is too much information…

DUBLIN — When world leaders in Copenhagen argue for days in knife-edge talks to save the planet, what more fitting way to relieve the tension than an environmentally-friendly vibrator?

The global sex toy industry is worth an annual 15 billion dollars (around P699-billion), and uses up a mountain of batteries in the process, many of which end up as toxic waste.

But now one Irish company reckons they've got the solution to shake up the market: a vibrator they are calling the worlds first-ever "green technology sex toy".

The Earth Angel, described as "eight inches (20 centimeters) with a sleek white finish", is a wind-up vibrator which comes with a handle built into the bottom.

Janice O'Connor, the co-founder with her husband Chris, of Caden Enterprises which makes the gadget, says "I've only used it a couple of times, and it's fantastic. It's very intense, and sometimes, at the top level, depending on the person that's using it, it can actually be too intense sometimes."

…or too little.

At about US$ 100.00, the Earth Angel is a bit pricey. As one blog commenter stated, the zucchini was likely one of the first truly green sex toys, and is a heck of a lot less expensive. Another commenter suggested mounting it to the stationary bicycle, so you could be “green and obscene at the same time.”

The product comes with an instructional video, but don’t get too excited. It only demonstrates the crank… not the cranking.
