Writer, former Alabama resident mocks AG’s sex-toy stance via YouTube

MONTGOMERY | With an Internet connection and a little YouTube know-how, anyone can ridicule a high-ranking public official.

Attorney General Troy King found that out Tuesday.

Alabama native and writer Steve Elliott, who now lives in Washington state, posted a video on site mocking King for defending a state law prohibiting sex toys in Alabama.

“That’s what I’m trying to do, make him look ridiculous, because that’s how he’s making the state of Alabama look,” Elliott said Tuesday.

The 30-second video is a montage that uses King’s singing “duet” with the late Johnny Cash as a soundtrack. The video includes an image of Cash making an offensive hand gesture.

The Mobile Press-Register reported Sunday that King created a CD last year in which he added his vocals to a little-known recording by Cash of the song “My Elusive Dreams,” which was never released. King distributed about 25 copies of his recording as a Christmas gift, the Press-Register reported.

Elliott said he was inspired to create the YouTube video after reading a blog written by one-time third-party gubernatorial candidate and marijuana advocate Loretta Nall, in which she described sending King an inflatable pig sex aid last year.

Good Lord, people, I’m hopelessly naive. A rubber vagina you can carry in your pocket? Do they also have a fold-out wallet size? A vagina — er, Fleshlight — key-chain? Maybe one you can wear around your neck on a lanyard?

And can I use my PayPal account?

Cara: I would guess that a “pocket tootie” would be a hunk of plastic shaped like a vagina, the equivalent of a dildo for guys.

Thank you.

A thing like that’s also called a “Fleshlight”? Huh.

Wonderful. Soon the world will be full of women saying “I get off to Conway Twitty” - and meaning it.

Worse yet, Celine Dion.

Has anyone tried this? I’ve thought about getting it for a couple friends, but right now that kind of gift is out of my price range.

OMG!! MAJeff, I totally own the Hello Kitty “Massager”. I found it at the Hello Kitty store and bought it as a joke. I’ve never used it (I figure it can’t compare to The Rabbit.) But I bring it out at parties and we all have a good laugh at it. And for a year my best friend and I would greet each other with “Helloooo Kitty!” Spooky synchronicity!!

We all know that it is the far-right wackos who are banning sex toys and porn. Banning certain material just because it is offensive is something that no progressive would ever do.
