Cancelled New York City Vibrator Giveaway Leaves Crowds Buzzing

August 9, 2012 | Filed under Odd News | Posted by

Why does New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg hate women? First he’s taking away their Big Gulp’s, then he was denying them access to baby formula, and now he’s keeping them from picking up a free pocket rocket…

From AP:

The Trojan condom company set up “Pleasure Carts” on Wednesday in two Manhattan neighborhoods, and were set to give away 10,000 vibrating sex toys. Nearly 300 people had lined up at each of the hot-dog-style carts.

According to the New York Post, the giveaway was interrupted when a city representative told the promoters to shut down because of crowds.

One of those on line, Melody Henry, grumbled that Mayor Michael Bloomberg “doesn’t want anyone to have fun. You can’t have a giant soda, You can’t have a vibrator.”

The city says the promotional event could resume at a later date with proper permits.

Three hundred people is a problem in New York, really?

    “The city says the promotional event could resume at a later date with proper permits.”

    I can’t believe they identified them as hot-dog-style carts.

    Can anyone tell me if “proper permits” refers to those hot-dog-style carts or to the ladies who will be collecting the goodie-bags (you know, like a driver’s license).

    It would be interesting, the politicians’ reaction? It may depend on who is willing to go after the ‘average joe’ vote!

    I have no sympathy for New Yorkers. They HAD term limits.

    I think those things should be banned. Leave horny women horny. More opportunities for us.

      I’m pretty sure the horny women already are stocked up on various devices..

      Only the Helen Thomas’s and Maxine Waters would condone to be with you Chico. They are against the man too. As long as the man isnt in their party that is.

        Hey, anyone can get it up for Megan Fox. It takes a real man to get it up for Helen Thomas.

          Uh, shouldn’t the word “real” be changed to “blind”?

          • Commander_Chico

            I always wondered about blind guys and sexual response, since so much of male arousal is supposed to be visual. But blind guys seem to do pretty well.

            There’s the sense of smell – ever date a woman who didn’t smell ‘bad’, but didn’t really smell ‘good’? Just kind of ‘blah’ and uninteresting? Pheromones or some such are involved, and you can’t really hide those with perfume.

            I’ve seen theories that the sense of smell is a lot more potent at a subliminal level than we think, and can pretty much take two equally visually hot women, and make one a 10 and the other a 5 to one man, while switching things around for another. It’s all about the smell.

            True or not? Can’t say – but I’ve dated some women who were nice enough, and clean… but just… blah. Uninteresting.

            Hmm, I wonder. Unfortunately, I’ve ended up with some two day old mackerel, too.

    It’s anyone’s guess how many actually got given away, but on the off chance if you notice one of your co workers with an extra bounce in their step today it might have something to do with a twirling machine ravaging the insides of their private parts….

    So, now Michael Bloomberg is waging a war against women.
