City officials pull the plug on vibrator giveaway, leaving thousands dissatisfied

They must have rubbed Mayor Bloomberg the wrong way.
 
City officials pulled the plug on a vibrator giveaway by the Trojan condom company yesterday, disappointing potentially thousands of pleasure-seeking women who hoped to get their hands on some no-cost sex toys.
 
“I’m 57 years old. I should be able to get a vibrator!” declared Linda Postell, who was among hundreds of women (and men!) waiting in the heat on Pearl Street only to be left unsatisfied. “I have a problem with the smoking ban, and the soda ban — and now this!”

Trojan sent tingles of excitement across the city when it announced the giveaway of some 10,000 vibrating sex toys from hot-dog-style pushcarts.

Trojan began by handing out about 400 free vibrators without incident on Sixth Avenue in Rockefeller Center between 11 a.m. and noon.

Sounds like there was quite a buzz about this.  The rest is here: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/city_kos_good_vibrations_Rtc8Up7hrIGqlC63E3J1fK#ixzz233FkYixv

Sounds like a scam to me, did these vibrator's come with battery's or were the give away trucks followed by other trucks selling battery's at a 300% mark up ?????

A vibrator is not a vibrator if it has no battery's to make it vibrate.

Very important question for woman today, truth in advertising.     I have seen no demonstrations of Vibrator's on Informational TV.   Nothing in Wallmart to sell the   AS seen on TV.

Darn if I am to buy a vibrator I need to know how and why it works, what is the battery life and is there a satisfaction Guarantee on the product.

This is what I more strenuously object to:

“I’m 57 years old. I should be able to get a vibrator!” declared stupid freeloading New York broad

So you're 57 years old.  Go buy one, ya stupid freeloading broad.  What the hell is stopping you, ya braying donkey? 


I also really object to the article writer's childish cheap innuendo-laden style.  Annoying.

That's what happens when "journalists" all graduate as 'C' students from high school.

Memo to self--------- gather up all jars of change, Penny's, nickle and dimes just dumped in a container for last 20 years.

Memo--- roll all them up and take to the bank.

Memo-----Use the change to buy stock in the company that sells vibrators.

Memo--- put stock in grandkids name.

Sounds like a better investment then buying stock in VIAGRA.

If Herr Bloomberg won't let you have a 32-oz soda or a cigarette, he sure as hell won't let you have a free dildo.

When vibrators are outlawed, only outlaws will have vibrators.
