The Supreme Court Refuses to Jugde Dildo
A man in El Paso was arrested for violating a Texas law prohibiting the sale of sex toys shaped like sexual organs.
Two undercover police officers made the arrest when adult-bookstore employee Ignacio Acosta made remarks which indicated the phallus was intended for uses which were prurient in nature as opposed to educational, medical, or artistic.
Let me repeat that slowly.
He was arrested, while selling a dildo
in an adult bookstore
to police officers who were disguised as people who have sex
when he indicated that the dildo
the one that was in the adult bookstore
was intended to be used as a sex toy
instead of medical or educational use.
If he had sold a dildo shaped like a rabbit, it would have been somehow alright.
If he has sold a dildo shaped like a penis under the guise of using it as a rectum dilator, it would have been somehow alright.
If he had sold a dildo shaped like a penis, claiming it to be a ten inch, rubber sculpture representing man’s inhumanity to man, that would have been somehow alright.
But selling a dildo, shaped like a dildo, to be used as a dildo, is against the law in Texas.
Acosta challenged his arrest and the El Paso county court agreed with him that the law violated individual sexual privacy. But apparently the district attorney felt strongly enough about dildos to appeal the decision and the ruling was overturned in appeals court..
The next step would be the US Supreme Court, but they’ve been busy with Ana Nicole Smith and refused to hear the case.
I just wonder how they'd feel about a dildo shaped like a high court justice? It would only be in violation of Texas law if they admit they're dicks.
