Pentagon Sends Letters To Toronto Sex Shop: Stop Shipping Butt Plugs To US Military Base In Bahrain
CP24 reports:
Not one but two letters were sent from the Pentagon to a Toronto-based sex toy store, found inside the boxes of returned adult items that had somehow made their way to a U.S naval base in Bahrain. The letters were received over the span of about a month over the summer, Bonjibon co-founder Grace Bennett recalled, amusedly.
“We didn’t even know it (the product) was going to Bahrain until it came back to us months later, and it just kind of unraveled this whole … hilarious moment,” the 34-year-old said in an interview with CTV News Toronto. The letter was sent by the U.S. Naval Forces Central Command fleet logistics centre in Bahrain, an island neighbouring Qatar and Saudi Arabia on the Persian Gulf.
“Please notify the sender that pornographic materials or devices are not allowed into the Kingdom of Bahrain.” Bennett did not say what items were sent to the military members but noted how the letters were likely intended to be sent to them, as the U.S. department asked the buyer to inform Bonjibon to, in effect, “stop sending butt plugs to Bahrain.”
