Sponge Duck Toy Creates Buzz in Tennessee
Wed Oct 13,11:14 PM ET
SPRING HILL, Tenn. - Katherine Williams says the yellow ducky sponge she put on sale at a flea market is merely a child's toy. City officials say the vibrator inside makes it a sex toy.
But officials in this Nashville suburb backed off from citing Williams for violating the city's sexually oriented business ordinance because she had already taken down her display by the time police responded to complaints Saturday. Nearby vendors also refused to be witnesses in the case.
"We've declined to prosecute because of a lack of evidence," City Administrator Ken York said Tuesday.
Williams, whose Passions & Pleasures business sells lotions and adult novelties at in-home parties, described her product line as "PG-13" and said she got only two negative comments at the flea market.
"Nothing we do is nasty, unless you have a nasty mind," she said, turning a knob on the yellow ducky's tail to make the sponge vibrate. "My 3-year-old son loves to play with this duck in the bath. He puts it on his neck and on his head."
Williams said she'll be back at the flea market next year.
"If she does, she'll be cited into court," York said. "That duck is a sexual toy, and it was on display. That was a vibrator on display in public view."

Don't the penumbras and emanations from the Constitution guaranty every American the right to own a vibrator?
