27. notice they used the words "3 dimensional"
Edited on Tue Mar-07-06 10:45 AM by mtnester
I think that would include fruits and veggies, if distributed for the intent purpose of blah blah

I am NOT clear, however, if simple POSSESSION is a crime here...or, if it is...does someone have to prove INTENT of the cucumber?


Humor aside, I want these people OUT of my private life..including my bedroom, my uterus, my TV, my phone, and anything else I do not know about yet.

I think everyone ought to be mass mailing dildos to the Tennessee legislature..FAST..with this little diddy attached to it..


"FUCK YOU...LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVELY"

6. My e-mail of "support"
You, SIR, are an idiot! Don't you have better things to do than be a bedroom nazi, interfering with what CONSENTING ADULTS indulge themselves in? Who died and made YOU God? For goodness sakes, get out of our bedrooms and bodies and get a life!

8. Why don't the religiously insane start building the ovens?
Why hide behind asinine legislation made by asinine legislators? Just round up everyone they hate and throw them in the ovens. They might just run into some opposition.

Banning dildos? Is that not the best friend of evangelical women?

16. When will chastity belts become mandatory by law????
This is further proof that there are too many legislators that are no longer necessary or required. What's next, government spy cams in everyone's bedroom to insure only the 'male superior' position is used? Political fundie lunatics are running the government asylum.

19. Holy deja vu, Batman!
Here in the metro Atlanta area, the new city of Sandy Springs (after 35 years of lobbying) spent their first week going after (surprise!) all of the adult establishments that have been in place for years via the zoning ordinances. These get their priority info from the same stupid place. :eyes:

He is the biggest dildo in the state and he would make a good example.

"But, Officer, it's just a long, narrow vibrator for long, narrow muscles!"

So, you're going to outlaw the Bible then?

Eric, you are one sick little Nazi.


I don't think it does much good to argue or try to educate these people; they are hopelessly insane.

35. How will they enforce this? The Buttplug Police?
I mean, Jeebus H. Roosevelt Keerist on a trailer hitch, what are we going to do, waste large groups of our already-overburdened police forces as vice squads again? "Bad people, bad, bad! No looking at dirty pictures! No nekkid ladies dancing! And no buying the Anal Intruder pack!"

Oh wait, this is limited to genitalia. Wonder if the damfool sponsoring this meant to exempt all butt-toys?
