Via the NYPost:

[New York] City officials pulled the plug on a vibrator giveaway by the Trojan condom company yesterday, disappointing potentially thousands of pleasure-seeking women who hoped to get their hands on some no-cost sex toys.

“I’m 57 years old. I should be able to get a vibrator!” declared Linda Postell, who was among hundreds of women (and men!) waiting in the heat on Pearl Street only to be left unsatisfied. “I have a problem with the smoking ban, and the soda ban — and now this!”

According to the Post, Mayor Bloomberg's office was quick to note that the sidewalk sex toy giveaway was canceled due to a permit issue, not any sort of prudishness.
