Sex Toy Battle Relies On Gay Rights Ruling
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/08/080505sexToys.htm

A federal judge has been asked to strike down a 1998 laws that bans the sale of sex toys in Alabama.

If U.S. District Judge Lynwood Smith agrees it would be the third time he has declared the ban unconstitutional.

A group of 10 storeowners have been fighting the state since the law was enacted. Michael Fees, the lawyer for the group, argues that the U.S. Supreme Court decision banning the criminalization of gay sex based on privacy issues also protects his clients' right to buy and sell sex toys.

1. Boy, boy, it's just a rubber dick....
I cannot believe they have such a law...I think they issue you one with your driver's license in California...

3. Vibrators don't kill people. People kill people.
If vibrators are outlawed, only outlaws will have vibrators.

2. When you said "Sex Toy Battle" that's not what I pictured
I saw giant inflatable women whacking one another with dildos while Tokyo burns at their feet.

6. Are cucumbers banned, too?
It's not like there aren't low-budget alternatives to most sex toys. What have they really accomplished by outlawing the pricier commercial version?

7. Some people are so afraid
Of anything having to do with a positive attitude toward sexuality. If it weren't for the need to procreate, I'm sure these fundies would have everyone's genitalia hacked off/out at birth.
