Alabama Sex Toy Ban

2006_07_29_alabama.jpg

Pity the good people of Alabama, who won't be able to legally purchase the new sex toys which debuted at ANME this week - or any others, for that matter, thanks to a federal court ruling that was upheld yesterday: as Boing Boing says (paraphrasing Andrew Orlowski), "Under this law one could stroll down Alabama's southern streets selling semiautomatic rifles and dildos, and be arrested for the dildos." Gives a whole new meaning to the Alabama state flag now, doesn't it?
