Company Mails Free Vibrators to Federal Employees During Shutdown

free-vibrator-shutdown-11.jpg

Oh the wit and whim of some marketers. Acknowledging the fact a substantial number of people may have more time on their hands having been affected by the government shutdown, online retailer Vibrators.com is mailing out 200 free vibrators each day to anyone who uses the discount code “shutdown.”

So, yes. this isn’t exclusive to federal employees but the promotion is certainly aimed at them. The company promises to deliver 200 free dildos daily until the shutdown ends. The offer is limited to 200 per day so as not to overrun production…which, of course, you know it would if the count were higher.
