- inactive, on 06/05/2008, -1/+20Our knowledge of alabama comes mostly from civil war expeditions sent down from the north, combined with aerial photos from passenger jets flying between chicago and south america.
As best we can tell, they seem to have a basic understanding of metallurgy, as well as simple brick construction. we hope one day to learn more, once they send an explorer northward. Until then, we have adopted a wise policy of noninterference. - reyoo30309, on 06/05/2008, -0/+13Selling a gun to a child is less of a punishment then selling a vibrator to and adult? Because we all know... some many of our lives are taken by adults wielding vibrators...
- kterrance, on 06/05/2008, -0/+13and I figured they'd be pro-business in Alabama. now I'll just have to use Amazon to get my magic wand.
- Exekutor, on 06/05/2008, -0/+12FTA: "was arrested for selling vibrators to two undercover cops"
Undercover cops for dildos?!?!? WTF?!?!?! - gametavern, on 06/05/2008, -0/+11sex is popular on diggs front page this morning.
- yo_daddy, on 06/05/2008, -1/+11as long as the doll is dressed like a nurse making the "O" face
- shoover, on 06/05/2008, -0/+9"But in the same state where selling a gun to a kid gets you a $500 fine, selling a sex toy can run you up to $10,000 in fines and up to a year of jail time."
Awesome. - mtwoar, on 06/05/2008, -0/+9I live in Alabama and they still sell sex toys, but you have to sign a waiver saying it's for medical use. I guess dildos and inflatable dolls can be used for medicinal purposes?
- chazizzle, on 06/05/2008, -1/+9what if I get off on my big ass gun?
- meltlight, on 06/05/2008, -9/+17I heard you can still sell black people in Alabama...
- beachtrader, on 06/05/2008, -0/+5Did you read the article? The federal appeals court ruled you now have a 14th amendment right to buy a vibrator in Texas now.
- reyoo30309, on 06/05/2008, -0/+5Same thing here in Georgia but they can't be used to for medical purposes either (or so I assume) because they are labeled "this item is sold as a novelty item only." Which I think makes more since anyway because really... How would a vibrator help someone medically.
Thinks of a short scenario~
"Stand back sir. I will resuscitate your wife using my handy dandy"... ok, you all know where I am going with this. - revmhatt, on 06/05/2008, -0/+5I'm from Alabama and even though this law is in effect, you can still go into any sex store and buy a vibrator with zero hassle. My girlfriend has never had to sign a waiver at all. Which makes this dumbass law just another reason for the rest of the US to continue labeling us cousin *****.
Sigh
Anybody from Portland need a roommate? - inactive, on 06/05/2008, -0/+5vibrators started out as medical use and quickly became the most popular home appliance. There used to be health spas that you could goto and get treatments as well, well women could anyway. Legal ones like this are all but gone now.
- caffiend, on 06/05/2008, -0/+5There are still plenty of sex shops in AL and they aren't being shut down. It's all in the marketing. And remind me to vote against Troy King next time.
- shadowspawn, on 06/05/2008, -0/+5can't sell a dildo in Texas, it has to be an "educational" style tool. Buttplugs are ok, however.

Someone should ask him if he has ever visited the 21st century. - Ramble, on 06/05/2008, -2/+6What's an ass-gun?
- arkaycee, on 06/05/2008, -0/+4According to a friend of mine who sells sex toys (kinda an adult Tupperware), Michigan has some less-weird, but weird laws. Like she can show you a sex toy, and put it down on a table, and you can hand her money and pick it up. But she can't hand it to you or suggest you should buy it.
- inactive, on 06/05/2008, -0/+4Is this Earth's last uncontacted tribe that has been in the news lately?
- munkyxtc, on 06/05/2008, -0/+4"Hey Maw!, my hello kitty wiggle pen isn't working".
- IceSabre, on 06/05/2008, -0/+4Texas is about as bad. I would have to drive 200 miles to get out of the state to buy something like that but can buy and walk out of a store with a handgun from 4 different stores within 2 miles.
Freedom indeed! Kiss my less-than-violent ass. - inactive, on 06/05/2008, -0/+4"Here's a petition against the anti-dildo laws."
"So you got signatures from ten thousand people who desperately want sex toys? I hope you wore gloves..." - OswaldKenobi, on 06/05/2008, -0/+4The best part of this ban is the state legislature proposed a "sin tax" on sex toys recently. Figure that one out.
- lordbutler, on 06/05/2008, -0/+3This recently showed up in a legislative session this past year I believe. Advocates for the ban said it was for "our own protection" that sometimes "people should be protected from themselves." Alabama (my home state) sorely needs to get rid of all of this ultra-conservative nanny state legislation. Oh, and actually passing any bill that isn't a raise for the legislators during the session would also be welcome.
- noncn4mst, on 04/15/2009, -0/+3I've never had to sign a waiver - I think, though, by calling them novelty items, they can get away with shoddy products. "Not for internal use"
- Ramble, on 06/05/2008, -0/+3Ohh! Ohh!
- reyoo30309, on 06/05/2008, -1/+3I doubt you have ever been to Alabama.
- trogdor282, on 06/05/2008, -0/+3Compelling yet sweary argument: http://*****.com/
- DiggieDarko, on 06/05/2008, -0/+3I think a nurse sex doll makes a lovely medical device.
- Woknblues, on 06/05/2008, -1/+4how about you go and change the laws then? you can. get a petition. contact your legislators. there are stupid laws all over this country, and everybody just complains.
- reyoo30309, on 06/05/2008, -0/+3I had an uncle who once made it back from Alabama, for some reason he does not like to talk about it.
- DiggieDarko, on 06/05/2008, -0/+3What's wrong with this country? In normal countries like Japan you can buy sex toys and soiled underpants from vending machines. Quick and easy.
- reyoo30309, on 06/05/2008, -0/+3Sex was always popular its just news to digg.
- Eezyville, on 06/05/2008, -0/+3FTA: "Anti-Obscenity Enforcement Act, which prohibits the sale of any device that is used 'for the stimulation of human genital organs.'"
Wait a sec... almost anything can simulate the human genital organs. Shapies, Cucumbers, Banannas, and good 'ole Apple Pie. They gonna ban those too? - dhVyse, on 06/05/2008, -0/+3What are you doing Alabama?
You got the rest of the union
to help you along
What's going wrong?
-Neil Young - Stradenko, on 06/05/2008, -0/+3Normal? Japan?
- reyoo30309, on 06/05/2008, -0/+3Come on when was the last time a buttplug has harmed someone, vibrators on the other hand...
- girlasaurusrex, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2I live in southern Alabama. You can still get away with selling "personal massagers" and "action figures" here. It's all in the categorizing.
It's also legal to pay a homeless person $5 to hold a GOING OUT OF BUSINESS SALE sign and stand in the median in front of your sex toy shop for 10 hours in 90 degree heat. Go figure. - reyoo30309, on 06/05/2008, -1/+3"...in the same state where selling a gun to a kid gets you a $500 fine, selling a sex toy can run you up to $10,000 in fines and up to a year of jail time."
Come on dude do a little reading its in the first page for crying out loud. - fledderjohn, on 06/05/2008, -1/+3How silly! A law that serves no practical purpose other than to curry favor with the bible-thumpers! Gotta love it! I'm proud of my Alabama roots, but the politics there are so f'n silly! Please don't let this color your perception of an otherwise (mostly) sane place.
- Jexie, on 06/05/2008, -3/+5Why does Alabama hate freedom?
- datafeaster, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2*****, Buttplugs can get elected Governor of Texas. Presidents even.
- MMaster23, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2City17....
- reyoo30309, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2They are pro-business like any other state. But they are just more anti-sexual pleasure then they are pro-business.
- inactive, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2The terrorist.... um I mean Bible thumpers have won..... um I mean lost.
- lex0nyc, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2lol @ the name B.J. Bailey, Arizona sex shop owner.
- reyoo30309, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2Just as long as they are viewed as an obscene item.
- jemka, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2You know what I'm talking about. Ohh!
- mtwoar, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2A sex toy
