I read another case like this in Texas...
Apparently, in some states it's okay to sell sex toys, as long as they're considered "novelty items." As soon as they are marketed as something to be used in a sexual nature, it violates what they call "Obscenity Laws"
Below is an excerpt from this site: http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2004/04/25/LVGP366O101.DTL
A Texas housewife who is a Passion Parties distributor was arrested late last year on obscenity charges after selling a vibrator to undercover cops. The arrest prompted an angry response from Davis, who complained there must be a lot of "prudes" in Texas, which bans selling of what it deems obscene devices -- those considered to be designed or sold for sexual stimulation.
Joanne Webb, who is from Johnson County, was charged with a misdemeanor and could face up to a year in jail if convicted. A Fort Worth attorney has filed a federal lawsuit charging the Texas law is unconstitutional.
Aside from that case, which brought the company brief national attention, Passion Parties functions quietly, inside homes where it has built, Davis says, "a sisterhood."

Eh? What the crap...? A penis isn't illegal, and it's definitely designed for sexual stimulation. That's about the dumbest thing I've ever heard of.

These are some really stupid laws..... everyone should get behind this and push for abolishment of such unconstitutional constriction of personal freedom. Thanks and +5... someone should change such idiotic laws though.
