Sex Toy or Child's Toy? Tenn. Officials Say Vibrator Inside Duck Sponge Makes It a Sex Toy
The Associated Press

SPRING HILL, Tenn. Katherine Williams says the yellow ducky sponge she put on sale at a flea market is merely a child's toy. City officials say the vibrator inside makes it a sex toy.

But officials in this Nashville suburb backed off from citing Williams for violating the city's sexually oriented business ordinance because she had already taken down her display by the time police responded to complaints Saturday. Nearby vendors also refused to be witnesses in the case.

"We've declined to prosecute because of a lack of evidence," City Administrator Ken York said Tuesday.

Williams, whose Passions & Pleasures business sells lotions and adult novelties at in-home parties, described her product line as "PG-13" and said she got only two negative comments at the flea market.

"Nothing we do is nasty, unless you have a nasty mind," she said, turning a knob on the yellow ducky's tail to make the sponge vibrate. "My 3-year-old son loves to play with this duck in the bath. He puts it on his neck and on his head."

1. kick

[politicat]

2. As bad as the Harry Potter "flying" brooms and the "Squggle" pens...

Some people have dirty minds....

Pcat

[GoddessOfGuinness]

6. Exactly...

Does the fact that some people have a foot fetish mean that uncovered feet are indecent?

I think the people who make up these laws are in serious need of therapy to overcome their sex hang-ups. The law should not be utilized as an alternative to treatment.

30. Dirty Minds??...You people disgust me!

Why, just the other night, I took my friends daughter (who is 4) down to the supermarket.
Well, let me tell you...We got half way down the vegetable aisle and what do we have to see?....Those filthy, subversive, sexy Cucumbers, just sticking up like hundreds of big Dicks!!...I was so ashamed I rushed the poor little girl out of the store and promised myself to never expose her to that sort of trash again....

3. Tickle Me Elmo vibrates, too.

By their definition, I guess that's a sex toy, too.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

7. LOL!

Elmo loves you!

[StlMo]

17. Elmo loves you... all night long!

:)

[northzax]

26. frighteningly enough

you are correct. I have a friend (really) who went home with a girl a couple years ago, (when TME was hot) and she brought it out to play with.

furries.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

31. LOL!

Somehow, I don't think that's what CTW had in mind...

4. Landover Baptist Needs To Find Out About This

[GoddessOfGuinness]

8. I'd forgotten about that site...

http://www.landoverbaptist.org/

It reminds me of the televangelist guy who sings "Let's Kill a Pissant for Jesus".

5. O'Reilly's doing a show on it tonight!

A phone 'interview', I understand. :evilgrin:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

9. Hehheh...

O'Lie-lay.

Then I wouldn't have to put it away in a drawer and dread my mother ever finding it! :evilgrin:

[politicat]

19. Found it....

The string hanging out if its ass is a little strange.

22. Maybe Mr. York saw the box,

and got overexcited.

[Phillycat]

23. Well, THAT packaging leads me to believe it's for adults.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

20. Just get

an electric toothbrush; and replace the bristle end with something more appealing.

[Phillycat]

21. Hmm!

They should have a kit, with several different attachments.

I just broke the barrier and got myself my first toy (I am in my 30's) and now I'm wanting to experiment!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

24. As long as you don't use massage oil to brush your teeth

it seems perfectly healthy to me.

[Richardo]

28. You gals are about to make me go "O'Reilly"

Keep up that talk! :evilgrin:

[plcdude]

38. hey

[liontamer]

34. babeland.com

[Phillycat]

35. This site is AWESOME. So much for getting any more work done.

[liontamer]

36. if you're ever in ny or seattle go to the store

It's one of my favorite places to shop. :)

[ScreamingMeemie]

11. and yet vibrating bumble balls with their little knobs all over are bought

by parents everywhere....:eyes:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

13. And what about electric toothbrushes?

~grimace~

[Pithlet]

14. My baby has a teether that vibrates.

It helps soothe his gums. I guess they should be illegal, too :eyes:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

25. Ahahahaha!

I'd forgotten about those. My little guy had one when he was a baby, too.

[Blue-Jay]

12. I wonder if it was THIS duck?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

16. snicker

That's what Mr. York has in his tub, no doubt.

[TheMightyFavog]

15. Where's the supreme court when you need them?

The sooner these asinine anti sex toy laws are struck down, the better!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

18. Maybe we can combat them with sex law toys...

...a line of toys that exposes the laws in all their naked absurdity.

[the Princess]

27. Who cares if it's a sex toy or not

Where can I get one????????????? LOLOL

[Southpaw Bookworm]

29. Good Vibrations

I almost ordered http://www.goodvibes.com/cgi-bin/sgin0102.exe?FNM=53&T1=1+2+AH+0207&UID=2004101412543744&UREQA=5&UREQB=4&UREQC=3&TRAN85=N">this one myself recently.

[plcdude]

39. why didn't you?

could be a good investment

[Southpaw Bookworm]

41. Because

I ordered a couple others, and since my bathroom is under construction, it just wasn't practical.

:evilgrin:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

[liontamer]

33. umm I saw one of those at toys in babeland

I thought everyone knew it was a sex toy. Which isn't to say that they shouldn't sell them. :shrug:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

37. Well if you look at the box

on the website posted earlier, it seems pretty obvious; but to look at the critter, it isn't. It really does look like a child's toy.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

40. its sold in sex toy shops

and sex toys arent nasty :P
