Down With Dildos!
Two state legislators say no to sex toys
by John Spragens
Thank God the state legislature is back in session. When they’re gone, political columnists are forced to take up serious topics like the deputy governor lobbying subordinates on local political issues, U.S. national vulnerability to cyber-attack and the police chief threatening to storm out of a neighborhood meeting. But now that America’s dumbest criminals have reconvened their lawmaking body, it’s easy street for journalistic bottom-feeders to meet deadlines.
To wit: Senate Bill 3794 (House Bill 3798), legislation that would make it illegal to sell, advertise, publish or exhibit to another person “any three-dimensional device designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs….” For that matter, if you offer to show someone your dildo collection—or possess a vibrator with the intent to show it to someone—you’d be violating this proposed state law. And don’t even think about wholesaling those three-dimensional sex toys.
Of course, as with all good public policy, state Sen. Charlotte Burks and Rep. Eric Swafford have included a few exemptions for responsible dildo-users. College students and faculty are allowed to enter the sex-toy trade—as long as they are “teaching or pursuing a course of study related to such device,” like Auto-Erotic Stimulation 101. Your doctor or psychologist will similarly be authorized to prescribe the regular use of a sex toy “in the course of medical or psychological treatment or care.” And finally, employees of historical societies, museums, public libraries and—wait for it—school libraries are allowed to traffic in devices named Thruster, The Emperor and The Horny Hare, provided they’re doing their official duties. That means the Carnton Plantation would remain free to put up that “Dildos of the Antebellum” exhibit Robert Hicks has been pitching.
What do Burks and Swafford have against genital stimulation? Your guess is as good as ours. At press time, staff members hadn’t returned messages left Tuesday morning, probably because it’s hard to defend such stupid ideas. Attorneys for the state of Georgia couldn’t defend them either: two weeks ago, a federal appeals court overturned portions of a similar Georgia law on the grounds that advertising bans violate free speech rights.
Nonetheless, this Tennessee legislative tag-team went ahead and introduced their bill last Thursday, and on Monday, it passed a perfunctory first reading. In other Monday developments, Tennesseans died from a lack of health care, remained poorly educated and were among the most obese state populations in the nation. |

What the hell? That's like passing a bill saying you're forbidden to eat chocolate but it's okay if you take classes on how to eat chocolate. :conf: Hypocritical statements in the dumbest bill ever.
Are these people really doing their jobs? I can see one of their conversations at the dinner table along these lines, "Oh honey, I'm so bored at work. Banning gay marriage takes forever! You know what grinds my gears? 3-D sex toys. God what awful things. I sure wouldn't use one. ...Oh that's a great idea honey. I'll make a ban against them at work! Now I have something to do. Can you pass the roasted duck fetus please?"
Dumbasses. :stongue: |

On a side note what would qualify as a 2D sex toy? Surely every object is 3D so what would 2D be and are they OK?
But even if they manage to ban dildos its not like there arent other ways to get the job done. When we were 14 this friend of mine had like this really big color pen, you know with like 20 different colors all in it, and that got the job done until it broke... |

worry about your own country, to start off with. no, from your comment it IS what you're saying. There's no gigantic porn and sex toy industry in the US right? So how are you going to sit there and say that americans are all prude about it and all. Dude, please. |

ok, now in theory an elected government official is there to apply the will of the people. thus in theory, if there are (what i would consider) more than an average number of puritan officials then yes, i would argue theres a good chance you have a higher than average number of prudes. however, thats not my point. my point is your leaders often (and by often i mean too many times, not necessarily regular like clockwork) focus on sexually-based non-issues that are a waste of time & money.
