Vibrator giveaway shut down due to crowds
NEW YORK (AP) - A vibrator giveaway that attracted long lines in New York City came to an abrupt end when the city told the promoters to pack it up.
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.
The city of NY is worried about  recycling all that plastic and batteries, i can just vision that barge heading over to newark.
The crowds will be back once they have the permits. Having a permit will not prevent a crowd of that size from occurring. The city was just jealous and wanted a piece of the pie because it could legally do so.
The slimey snake of all intrusive government crawls again from its hole. Guys like Bloomberg and his nanny-state thugs will do anything to exert their control over the "lesser" people.
And have you seen NY City's new police network Microsoft installed. That place is starting to resemble the futuristic city in the movie 'Demolition Man'. Pretty soon New Yorkers will be having sex with no partners either. Oh wait, that's what vibrators are for.Â
Sounds like the people who shut it down probably needed one more than anybody!
New York is so crowded anyway I'm curious how 300 people could make that big of a difference on any given day. I think their mayor needs to take a "chill pill". I certainly wouldn't want one man making that many of my personal choices for me.
Every woman should own a vibrator. Kudos Trojan for giving some away!
 @Tattooed_Angel That's because Trojan is now in the vibrator business. They have four sizes and you can buy them at drug stores next to the condoms.
"hot-dog style cart?" Ya sure?

Why are the subjects of the Big Apple the biggest (kittycats) in the world?
Â
"Wah... my soda's too big!"
"Wah,...there's too much salt here."
"Wah... somebody has a cigarette across the street."
"Wah... there's too many people on the sidewalk lined up for a free... thingamajig?"
Â
Â
I guess they didn't know how many people would come.Â
@Insomniac Dreams Or cum. Buahahahaha
 @Tattooed_Angel  @Insomniac Saw that one from a mile away ;~}
Careful people...we are walking down a slippery slope here! :)
 @yippieskippyToo much liquid on the floor makes any slope slippery.
Looks like they shook up the street when they inserted themselves there without proper scheduling. The city just wasn't ready for them to push in. A little bit of foresight goes a long way; apparently the buzz for the event was just too much, and people were coming from miles around to get what they were giving away.
Â
I could go on, but I haven't had my coffee yet.
I think it's great that this many people were curious enough to be brave and stand in line! Love this...but do not love how they had to be shut down. I can maybe see why, but I am not sure how a permit would make the lines any different.
