Shopper complains about sex toys
Associated Press
PORTLAND, Maine — A complaint over sex toys sold at a Maine Mall store has prompted an effort to narrow South Portland's definition of adult business.
Police say a complaint by a customer who was offended by devices sold at Spencer's Gifts led to months of talks involving police, city officials and lawyers. The man who brought the complaint urged City Hall to reclassify Spencer's as an adult business and prohibit anyone under 18 from entering the store.
A proposal would require companies that sell sex toys to warn parents with signs at the front of stores or package devices so they cannot be viewed by minors. A lawyer for Spencer's tells the Portland Press Herald that it already complies with many of the proposed regulations.
Man, nothing gives you a blast from the past like a good Spencer Gifts reference. So much of my childhood was spent wandering the aisles looking at goods that served no possible use. Once I reached a reasonable age I found Spencers to be the most juvenile place on Earth filled with novelty toilet paper and items like the Norditrac knock off known as the 'More Dick Track'. I think its the complete opposite of an adult store. Its the most childish place in America.
P.S. - The last time in there my former lady friend bought me and Eazy E t-shirt. I can't tell you how difficult it is to find a social setting outside of Lubbock where that shirt is acceptable.
