Banning Sex Toys?! Nanny of the Month, September '09
Whether you love something, hate it, or have never thought about it, chances are some nanny wants to ban it.
Pit bulls, horse carriages, fireplaces, chewing tobacco, chickens, shark tours, big snakes-they were all on someone's hit list in September 2009.
Same for smoking in parks, selling homemade pie at farmers markets, and getting tattoos. Busybodies took aim at all those things, but there's only one Nanny of the Month for September 2009…
The Alabama Supreme Court-for banning sex toys. More specifically, for upholding a state law that bans the selling of "any device designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs."
"Nanny of the Month" is written and produced by Ted Balaker. Director of Photography: Alex Manning, Associate Producers: Paul Detrick and Hawk Jensen, Camera: Zach Weissmueller, Production Assistant: Tannen Wels.
