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.

Yeah, the chicken in every pot is gone as Menino was one who wanted to keep Chik Fil A out of Boston.

Irony of ironies. City Hall Plaza was built on the site of Scollay Square, the red-light district of Boston before Urban Renewal.

Boston's chickens are coming home...to ROOST.
(Yes, double entendre for both Chick Fil Lay and Re, Wright.)

It’s a good thing that Obama invested this country heavily in the next generation of battery technology!

Was that “Amazon Women On The Moon” or “Kentucky Fried Movie”? A buddy of mine just sent me “Kentucky Fried Movie” on DVD.

I’ll go with “Amazon Women On The Moon”, because now that you point it out, I remember it, and I haven’t seen “Kentucky Fried Movie”.

Good think it was Trojan vibrators being given away and not Chik Fil A sandwiches. The major would’ve REALLY gotten his dander up instead of just writing a whinny letter if it had been CFA sandwiches.

A stimulus package for women and Mumbles objects! The Democrat’s war on women continues.

FR is becoming as inane as the democrats forum! Don't any of you so called intellectuals recognize what this is about?

When our young adults who are striving to make it in the business world would prefer to reach an orgasm using a vibrator rather than someone of the opposite sex because it is cleaner, faster, less expensive, not as time consuming, less stressful, and guaranteed, our national birth rate will drop faster than it is now!

"More than half of the women (52.5 percent) had used a vibrator with nearly one in four having done so in the past month."

We are already below 2.1 which means as a nation we are shrinking our Christian population while the Muslims are increasing their numbers as rapidly as young rabbits.

Here's the actual, ugly truth about Muslim Demographics and what it means to America's future.

Or you can continue joking about the serious issues and when your children ask what happened, just shrug your shoulders and grin.

That is where Banacek grew up. It took him two years to lose the accent. Mentioned in the series pilot.
