Menino gets bad vibe from proposed sex toy giveaway

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.”

Trojan rubbed New York authorities the wrong way when an August vibrator giveaway lured hundreds of people to lower Manhattan and tied up traffic. Mayor Michael Bloomberg eventually granted Trojan a permit — for $3,100 — to give away the items at a single location in the city’s Meatpacking District.

God, how I yearn for the sanity of our nation.

He goofed by telling them to stick it where the sun don’t shine — Trojan took that as encouragement.

Remember when sex with your own organs was good enough?

Now everyone seems to want a toy.
