In the interest of full disclosure, both of my kids read this blog on a daily basis. We talk about it frequently. So, guys, you might want to skip this post.
Move along, nothing to see here.

Ok. For the sake of argument, let's say I live in Alabama. And let's posit that I want to sneak into Spencer's Gifts (a fine American mall-rat store if there ever was one) and purchase a (cough cough) "toy" to enjoy with the wife. "C" batteries not included.
But dayum. I get to the mall, actually find a parking place less than a furlong from the mall entrance, and find polizia caution tape across the doors of Spencer's.
I guess I could always head for Sharper Image.
From Slate - Bickering over vibrators on the 11th Circuit:
Last week, the United States Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit upheld an Alabama ban on the sale of sex toys. Alabamians can still use, improvise, borrow (not recommended by Slate or its legal counsel), or import from out-of-state the latex items of their choosing. But as far as the court of appeals is concerned, the sale and advertising of 'any device designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs' can now get you up to a year of jail time and up to $10,000 in fines. Condoms and Viagra are exempted from the ban, as are whipped cream, anything sold at the Sharper Image, and Barry White CDs...Sweet home, Alabama. (I wonder what Lynyrd Skynyrd is doing fer kicks these days...)
