Tea party students to protest sex toy giveaway at NC State Univ. (NSFW maybe)

Tea party students to protest butt-plug giveaway at NC State Univ.

A group of tea party students say that they are outraged after North Carolina State University purchased about $300 worth of items to demonstrate safe sex — including an “anal plug,” six vibrators, three dildos and a “booty booster.”

According to Campus Reform, Union Activities Board (UAB) purchased the sex toys as prizes for a “Dirty Bingo” event scheduled for Feb. 12.

In a letter posted to Facebook, UAB President Lauryn A. Collier explained that $304.69 has been spent on “a few edible undergarments, Fifty Shades of Grey book and game, six vibrators, four surprise packs, three dildos, a toy cleaner, lube, a sex game, a sex position book, an anal plug and a booty booster.”

“The purpose of this event is to find an innovative and entertaining way to talk about sex and sex education, particularly on a college campus, which deviates the norm and expected,” she wrote. “The certified educators plan to use some of the purchased items (those that are appropriate) to demonstrate safe and healthy sex practices. The programmers of this event wanted to include some ‘gag’ or non-educational prizes to add to the humorous and ‘dirty’ themed event.”

"His mother Jan is concerned about their habit, which she says is "kind of gross." They are so addicted, they won't travel or leave the house for long periods of time.

" But will they quit? "Not a chance," said Mike.

"We can't live without them," echoed Trina."

Yep, the game has changed in the past few decades! All this waxing and shaving and bleaching and six pack abs and implants and impossible "adult film star" body image expectations....I would not like to be a kid in this environment. Much too much "judgment" awaits...!

My generation was much less fussy! I think we gave more points for "sense of humor" and "personality" than are given out these days..!

I would have thought that was something needed more by the people like me posting here between yelling at kids to get off the lawn and such. I could use one of those now, I most certainly did not need one in college. Strange. Do they need them to poke out of their shorts? Damn, this is confusing me.

NC State is probably the most conservative university in the state, and definitely the most conservative out of the larger ones. This particular incident is stupid, because they complain about the "gubment" infringing upon their personal freedoms, and they are trying to deny a student group their freedom.

which will the tea party complain about?
Well over 90% of the students will participate in sex sometime in their life.
Well less than 10% will participate in football.
Which of these expenses are the least justifiable for an educational institution?
