Babeland Offers Tax Relief in the Form of Free Vibrators

Posted by Emily Farris


When we were impressionable youths, our curfew wasn't so much a time we needed to be home as a time we needed to call and negotiate the rest of our evening. Would we be sleeping on the couch of that 20-something guy who always hosted high school parties or crashing with a girlfriend? Did Mom need to come pick us up from the Quick Trip parking lot? Or would we be home in 20—no, make that 30—minutes?

Perhaps this lax upbringing is what caused us to be so bad at turning anything in on time and what made us, well, bad Americans. For April 15 is not the day on which we file our taxes—no, it is the day that we file an extension (or have our accountant do it for us). Yes, yes, we know that all we're really doing is putting off the inevitable: paying taxes on the money paid to us for those stories we turned in so very late. Also, it turns out that this year we're missing out on free vibrators.

Tomorrow—yes, tomorrow is Tax Day, slacker!—Babeland is giving out free Gold Digger vibrators (pictured above) to the first 100 people to go into any of the three locations and tell the sales associates you've filed a tax return (we assume they're going on the honor system) and they're giving out the same gift for the first 100 web orders of the day.

But we haven't missed out completely with our tax FAIL. Babeland is picking up the sales tax on all purchases made in the stores or online tomorrow. So at least we can take that hard-earned money we should be using to pay our taxes and buy some tax-free sex toys. Score!

What the hell? Are these people stupid? Why is this news? Why aren't we reporting on important things like, corruption or things like that? REAL news?

You're in the wrong place for "real" news, my friend.

Doesn't this sorta discriminate against male taxpayers??

I know we don't count for much in the current scheme of things (just look at all the attention breast cancer gets vs. almost zero for prostate cancer), but still.....

Who left the troll door open? Clueless trolls at that. Men don't use vibrators? Really Mike? And... no prostate cancer coverage? Is this the only website/media you are exposed to, like, ever? Oh wait, that was satire, of course. Sorry.
