Trojan is not feeling the love in the Hub as Mayor Thomas M. Menino pushes the condom king’s New York marketing firm to pull the plug on plans to hand out free vibrators on family-friendly City Hall Plaza.

Legally, the city may have no leg to stand on as officials acknowledged the “public nature” of the plaza provides constitutional “protection” for the company to distribute the pulsing plastic wands.

In a statement, Trojan said: “We are pleased to be working with the City of Boston to bring the buzz to Bostonians with the Trojan Vibrations Pleasure Carts. With this vibrator giveaway, we hope to add even more pleasure to the bedroom.”

Amazon Women On The Moon was pretty good. Arsenio Hall’s bit was hilarious. Kentucky Fried Movie was Zucker, Zucker, and Abrahams first movie (all sketches), pre-dating Airplane!. It’s damn funny, and some of the character names they reused for Airplane! (like Rex Kramer).
