"Stop sending butt plugs to Bahrain!"

From Wonkette -

Pentagon Picks Fight With Canadian Sex Shop


"The Department of Warfightin’ had plenty of embarrassing leaks over the past year, with Pete [Hic] Hegseth going so far as to force underlings to undergo polygraph tests in an attempt to root out any Deep State antifa patriots remaining inside the military, but it also has a problem with plugs. Or at least the kind people enjoy shoving up their butts.

Bonjibon, a boutique sex toy business based in Toronto, has received not one but two sternly worded letters from the Pentagon after some of their goodies somehow made their way to the US Naval Forces Central Command Fleet Logistics Center in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

This came as a surprise to company co-founder Grace Bennett, who told CTV News her company has never shipped directly to the island nation but regularly sends stuff to military PO boxes that are then forwarded to soldiers stationed overseas. The cease-and-desist letters, which were both dated several months ago, were only recently discovered inside boxes sent back to their warehouse, which is currently brimming with returned packages because it ain’t easy running a Canadian export business with goods made primarily in China when US tariff policies against both countries are in daily flux due to the whims of an elderly madman. She said the wording suggested they were intended for the customers who first ordered them but it’s a bit confusing as they also demanded buyers tell Bonjibon, in essence, to “stop sending butt plugs to Bahrain.”

…as well as offering a little R&R after a long day soldiering in the hot Middle Eastern sun. The flared base on the fancier ones can even make for great paperweights or conversation starters.

From the article -

"This could’ve just as easily happened under Biden or Obama although it’s much funnier when it’s an administration built entirely around protecting assholes."
