Creepiest License Plate in Brooklyn

September 30, 2012 Leave a comment

Snapped today in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, NY:

This sends so many signals and leaves so many questions.

Like, “How many bodies of minors are in that backseat?” (I was afraid to look) and “Is it legal to upload a picture of someone’s license plate?” (According to Google, yes, yes it is.)

Trojan Vibrations Does Follow Up By E-mail After Cart Fiasco

August 17, 2012 1 comment

Props today go to Trojan for recovering from their permits incident that ruined their free vibrator promotion day.

See: “Police Shut Down Trojan Vibrations Free Vibrator Carts in Manhattan”

To my surprise the Trojan people collecting e-mail addresses after the crack-down weren’t just there to momentarily placate us in our times of blue balls and unrest, but actually did follow-up to get us our free vibrators!

Free Vibrator Day turned out to be a bust, with Trojan apparently failing to get the proper permits. The Gothamist has more:

Thanks for coming out to the Trojan Vibrations Pleasure Carts today! Due to overwhelming demand the team is reloading. Please stay tuned for updates to our page for future locations.

People on Facebook are not happy:Mike Renna: Be honest – you screwed up the promo and the police shut you down. Reloading? Relocating to where you can do this without bothering to get the right permits. MORONS

Samantha Kahn: will you add an extra one tomorrow to make up for the shut down of the 4-6 in the flatiron

Francis Botero: Looks like you got people waiting at 14th street.

Lory Moralesz: ya should come to BROOKLYN! 😀

Candice Hall: Po po shut them down around Flatiron. Should have started a chant–“2, 4, 6, 8. We have the right to masturbate!”

Elvis Camilo Teran: A guy passed by and said it was canceled. He was driving the truck, he wouldn’t give them out. He said he had a full truck. Gotta wait until tomorrow I guess.

Alba M Hernandez: they should announce if its canceled for today…Elvis Camilo Teran: I’m still waiting here on 14th and 3rd.with a bunch of people.

Laura Stewart: ‎250 people left left waiting…no orgasms in sight. Thanks a lot Trojan. Next time we’ll use Lelo. Spread the word.

Francis Botero: You guys have a lot of sexually frustrated people down in the meatpacking district
