DILDOE BANDIT: Everyone has seen "sneakers" or "tennis shoes" tied together and hung from power cables. Although I don't know the reasoning behind it (and I never took the time to research), you see them everywhere. I always believed the source was bullying: bullies took the shoes from their victims, tied them together, and threw them onto the power lines.
In late 2015, residents of the city of Portland, Oregon, began seeing DILDOE S tied together and hung from the power lines, just like the shoes used to be. Allegedly, depending on who you believe, there are either "dozens" or "hundreds" of instances where someone has tied sex toys together and thrown them on the power lines.
Now, as an adult store owner, I'm embarrassed that this wasn't my idea. Think about it. We try as an industry to get more and more mainstream acceptance of our product. 25 years ago, you would have NEVER seen a picture of a dildoe on the news, even it was hanging on a public power line. But here we are today, and major news carriers such as REUTERS are carrying the pictures and talking about he story and the products! Thanks Reuters!
And thanks the genius behind these actions. He has done a lot for increasing our acceptance as every media outlet is talking about "sex toys" as if they were "tennis shoes"!
A few days after the initial story hit, a woman, now nicknamed the "sex toy fairy" came forward through the media and claimed responsibility. "Dick-tossing" is an exercise in happiness, according to the 20year old woman.
I'm writing this post six months after the initial toys were found hanging from the power lines, and there has been no mention that the "sex toy fairy" has been apprehended. There was one comment about the incident that I thought was funny … "Portland's power lines are HUNG!"
I can only hope that she bought her dildoe s at loveworks.com!
