Apparently the US Department of
DefenseWar thinks that they can order non-US citizens not resident in the USA to cease and desist from mailing things.Uh…
Hilarity of the items involved aside, the gall of the US military postal service to give orders to civilians not under their command and not even of their nation is shocking.
Apparently they are concerned about soldiers stationed in other nations where sex toys are illegal getting in legal trouble. The original article is kinda funny.
It is illegal to own more than 6 sex toys in Texas:
Texas Penal Code 43.23 (f) states: “A person who possesses six or more obscene devices or identical or similar obscene articles is presumed to possess them with intent to promote the same.” Elsewhere, the code defines the devices as “a dildo or artificial vagina, designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs.”
Thank goodness people only have two hands…
MOLON LABE
Yeah Texas is crazy. Last I heard there were still sex shops there though. Can’t remember how they work around it.
Lol… most ironic use ever of, “penal code”. (Thanks for giving me a laugh and making me feel 12 again)
This doesn’t matter, because if you’re a soldier getting things shipped to you, it goes to an APO box that then gets sorted internally to go wherever that soldier is stationed. You’d have to stop shipping to military members entirely.
They are not concerned about illegally attacking those nations, though.
They’re not attacking Bahrain. Or other countries where the US has military bases. Those are the places that the US attacks from.
Seems like they could just restrict their people from ordering butt plugs, what with having the ability to order them to do things.
