Cherry Hill Residents Continue Heroic Fight Against Store Planning To Sell Vibrators To Single Girls

Yesterday, Cherry Hill mayor Bernie Platt gave his surprise new plan to stop the porn store that’s causing such an uproar.

And his new plan? Well… turns out… he doesn’t have one. Yes, despite holding a rally near the store’s proposed location, and saying he was going to have a new plan (or, at least that’s what Action News said), he simply spouted off random cliches such about saving the children and drawing lines in sand:

“On behalf of our residents, our children and grandchildren, I am drawing a line in the sand and announcing that this township’s government will vigorously fight the presence of such a moral blight on our community and its values.”

Children, values, moral blight. Yep, he’s got all the talking points down. Residents, though, aren’t all that happy with the mayor, since he’s still sort of talking in generalities and not coming up with any ideas for action, aside from drawing lines in metaphorical sand.

On their Yahoo! message board, the residents — who are “together” against “smut” (fun word!) — are chronicling their problems with the Geocities website they’ve been unable to keep up. But, they’re making plans for a new one — they even wrote a “check,” whatever that is — and, hopefully, if the store opens they’ll make good on that promise to photograph everyone going in.

I plan to stand right next to them, handing out free t-shirts with this site’s URL on the back. Hey, you can’t beat that kind of publicity.
