Texas arrests woman for selling vibrators

Good thing they have their priorities straight. (www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2003/12/16/MNGEA3O52I1.DTL)

Perhaps this can tie into the whole "should stupid laws be ignored?" thread....

[Bub, Andrew]

Joanne Webb, a former fifth-grade teacher and mother of three, was in a county court in Cleburne, Texas, on Monday to answer obscenity charges for selling the vibrator to undercover narcotics officers posing as a dysfunctional married couple in search of a sex aid.

This is why the drug war isn't working. Also, why'd they have to pose as a "dysfunctional" couple?

Still, I kinda hope that King of the Hill stays away from this one.

This is why the drug war isn't working. Also, why'd they have to pose as a "dysfunctional" couple?Because of course, no normal couple would ever use a thing such as a vibrator. :roll:

Still, I kinda hope that King of the Hill stays away from this one.I think I saw Hank Hill in one episode saying "no no... its a wand massager..."

"Obscenity laws!?" Surely this case will collapse as soon as it reaches a sensible judge?

[Midnight Son]

Well, it IS Texas, where men are men and SHEEP are nervous!

[Jakub]

Maybe this is a clever ruse to have the antiquated law thrown out?

[Thierry Nguyen]

A comic book store retailer got arrested for selling an adult comic to an adult who happened to be an undercover vice cop. He was convicted of obscenity charges.

This happened in Texas also.

[Timemaster Tim]

I'm surprised these offenses don't carry the death penalty in Texas.

[Enidigm]

We don't apply the death penalty enough. I say we give law enforcement officials and citizens in good standing authority to apply shooting on the spot to all preeverts, liberals, and 'men' who don't drive a truck to work. And to anyone who pronounces guacamole with a hard 'g'. Go back to the land of fruits and nuts you commu-nazi, tree humping, simpering, French loving, Eurotrash!

All who attempt entry into The Great Republic of Texas should also be asked such questions as "Whats your favorite caliber deer rifle?", "What's the only good kind of gay?", and "Texas or Texas A&M? (and, maybe, for you corn fed farm boys, Texas Tech)?" Those who fail to answer correctly will be shot. Yee Haw.

P.S. Texas A&M is never the answer.

As the commercial says, it's a "whole 'nother country". :roll:

If you've ever needed proof that the police department has too many people working for it...

[Midnight Son]

"As the undercover officers were making their Vibrator Sting, 3 muggings, a murder, several car accidents and a jay walk took place. No one was apprehended for those crimes but at least we got some feelthy sex toys off the streets, yee haw!!!"
