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.
Im 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.

Theres a lot more important things the city should be worried about than a free-vibrator giveaway, complained Park Slope bar owner Melody Henry, 42. Bloomberg doesnt want anyone to have fun. You cant have a giant soda. You cant have a vibrator.

No wonder they stopped it. They should've done the giveaway in Battery Park.

Bloomberg is just jeolous because the vibrators are about 10 time the size that he is when he is

"fully inflated". Men with small dicks really cause a lot of problems in this world.
