Reason.tv's Nanny of the Month for October 2009: Arrests for naked coffee-making, bans of fast-food restaurants, but the winner is...

October 29, 2009

No matter what it is—cigarettes, trans fat, incandescent light bulbs—chances are some nanny  wants to ban it. And this past month was no exception.

Last month, the top prize for biggest buttinsky went to the Alabama state Supreme Court, for upholding a ban on sex toys and devices specifically designed to stimulate human genitals. Because, well, you know, the government really does have a right to regulate your most private parts.

Who is the Nanny of the Month for October 2009? The runners up include:

The Fairfax County, Virginia police for arresting Eric Williamson after a woman saw him making coffee naked—in his own home.

Then there's the Los Angeles City Council, which extended its ban on new fast food restaurants in South LA.

But there's only one Nanny of the Month, and this time it's...

Yeah, Nanny of the Month. But I prefer Dana Loesch's Douche of the Week. Can we get a Nanny Douchebag of the Month, or something?

Your obviously not thinking about the fish.

Get your priorities straight!

I read that as Tranny of the Month. possibly because I am overcaffeinated.

Would that be Tranny of the Month as in very convincing, or as in a tranny with a beard you can camp in and a six-foot long schlong hanging out his dress? Could be funny, could be disturbing, could be both.

Tranny of the month?? You should be banned from this site!

devices specifically designed to stimulate human genitals

The Alabama Supreme Court upheld a ban on toasters? WTF?

|10.29.09 @ 11:11AM|#

Vacuums and washing machines too.

|10.29.09 @ 11:16AM|#

Rat fucking bastards! What about cantaloupes heated in a microwave or garbage bags full of pudding or rubbing a 9-volt on your taint or shower heads or a jar of mayonnaise or couch arms or Porches?

Beer Keg Abs|10.29.09 @ 11:21AM|#

Or a glass of water ala "Summer of '42"

rubbing a 9-volt on your taint

Oh man, I have GOT to stop reading this blog while eating my lunch.

I nearly choked to death upon reading this. And now I gotta clean all the half-chewed food I spewed out off my keyboard.

TMI! TMI!

Dewayne|11.12.09 @ 2:06PM|#

Does the 9-volt thing really work?

Jason|10.29.09 @ 11:12AM|#

Next up... a ban on dangling your feet off the dock.

|10.29.09 @ 11:22AM|#

Good choice. Banning fish pedicures is way WTF? You don't have anything better to do? Good then we can do away with your office.

|10.29.09 @ 11:51AM|#

Did this guy move to NY from the UK? WTF?

|10.29.09 @ 11:57AM|#

Oh, bans on NEW fast-food joints! Oh that makes sense!

|10.29.09 @ 12:11PM|#

"The Fairfax County, Virginia police for arresting Eric Williamson after a woman saw him making coffee naked—in his own home."
Why wasn't the woman arrested for peeping???
coffee naked...is that coffee without 'cream and sugar' (cream and sugar connatated as lewd and lasivious)

|10.29.09 @ 3:35PM|#

because it was a woman seeing the guy naked. Plus her kid was with her. (what about the children?)

Now, if it was the other way around...

ADog|11.5.09 @ 8:08PM|#

I would spank my kid for looking into some random guy's window, and then make it perfectly clear for them to make sure and watch for peeping tom's while mommy and/or daddy are making their food while naked.

Did somebody say fish pedicure tank?

I'm gonna dip my balls in it!

Bergholt Stuttley Johnson|10.29.09 @ 12:32PM|#

What are you, Kanye West or something?

|10.29.09 @ 1:14PM|#

I'm pretty sure he likes fish sdicks.

the friendly grizzly|11.8.09 @ 10:08PM|#

Not in Alabama you won't!

|10.29.09 @ 2:13PM|#

Washington State already banned these a few months ago.

This is why Neal Boortz' use of the term "Alabamastan" is so spot-on.

|11.6.09 @ 6:44PM|#

I don't know anything for sure but I'd wager that the politician banning fish pedicures is a pervert.

Do I have any takers?

Robert|11.10.09 @ 8:57PM|#

Why ya'll got to pick on Alabama? I'm sure plenty of stupid crap comes out of your state too.
