NBC 10 also spent a few minutes early in its 6 p.m. newscast last night to cover a “scandalous sex shop” in West Chester. Apparently, there’s a store with lingerie that has sex toys in the back, and people are not happy because it’s near an ice cream shop, a pizza place and a school.
“I think anytime you take something like that — something involving human sexuality and pervert it — that’s wrong,” the Rev. Edward Deliman told NBC 10. The “sexologist” is unbowed, ready and willing to fight for her shop’s right to sell vibrators. Redlasso video after the jump.

Above is Bucks County State Rep. Paul Clymer (click to enlarge for freakishly large version). The above dude wants to tax all strip club patrons $5 because he thinks they’re going to go out and rape people. “These clubs bring the problems of prostitution, drug and alcohol abuse and questionable characters,” said Clymer. “They have no redeeming value for communities.” Whee!
Also big on questionable characters: Libraries. (Really!) The money would go to fund the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape. Unfortunately for them, my guess is their lobbyists aren’t quite as good as the lobbyists for strip clubs, and so this will fail. Texas had a similar law that was struck down as unconstitutional, but Clymer says his law is better and constitutional.
Oh, yeah, and this idea is called a “pole tax.” Ha ha, just a little throwback line to the time when blacks, poor people and questionable characters were prevented from voting by rich politicians.

Oh, how could I forget: Michael Nutter will attend the Philadelphia premiere of Sex and the City. The people at Terry Hines & Associates apparently offered the mayor a free ticket to tonight’s invite-only screening of the movie, and the mayor accepted.
To note: This item about the mayor attending the screening of Sex and the City led off Mike Klein’s Sunday column. Come on, you can make something up about one of the celebrities in town shooting a movie, nobody will care. Better yet, create a celebrity — or pick someone from the Internet.
And, here’s more: Catherine Lucey’s favorite SatC character is Miranda (I’d guess). Sweeney writes about the marketing tie-ins locally, but more importantly decries tired vibrator jokes. Thank you!
Okay, that’s enough, no more mentions of this movie.

Here’s an ad I spotted this morning, apparently designed to appeal to those who are having their houses foreclosed on any minute now. But the real prize is the intro, where a man runs to the top of the Art Museum steps and (to celebrate his accomplishment, or his foreclosed home, or something) he does the “Apache” dance and then pantomimes sex. Honestly, at first I thought this was going to be an ad for Hillary Cinton.

While they’re sending reporters around to follow Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton as they criss-cross the state, let’s hope the media can spend some time to get to Pennsylvania’s Cumberland County. There’s a bit of a scandal here! Former County Commissioner Bruce Barclay has been accused of raping another man and cops say when they searched his house they found “100 to 500″ secretly videotaped sexual encounters between Barclay and other men, many of them male prostitutes.
And these guys were almost as expensive as Eliot Spitzer’s call girl!
The affidavit describes several such encounters with an Internet escort service known as “harrisburgfratboys.com.” Court documents indicate Barclay twice flew a 19-year-old man referred to as “W.M.” to his West Palm Beach home. During a trip last month, “W.M” told investigators that Barclay flew a male prostitute from Binghamton, N.Y., and paid that man $1,500.

Ever since I was called “obsess[ed] with sex” by Philadelphia magazine back in early 2006, I’ve grown to become even more obsessed with sex. And if I can make jokes and innuendos about it, then even better!
Hey, so here’s the end of Obama’s hopefully change speech last night, for which the camera was awfully shaky on CNN (at least reports PW editor Alli Katz, who is not tired of election coverageas I am). After about a minute of cliches from The Biggest Loser — who somehow is eliminated even though he won every single state in the Union before last night (and several in the Confederacy) — the shaky camera stops and — whoops! — up pops a CNN anchor. Ho ho! Yes, I am always excited to insinuate blowjobs and defame innocent people (see previous mention of ‘being on the Internet 100% of the time’).
Meanwhile, Chelsea Clinton is already working her corner for Mom in Pennsylvania today; either that, or she’s in town to buy a Powerball ticket. Clinton is appearing at (where else?) Penn, where she will attempt to get 34th Street editors fired, I bet.
And, hey, Gar Joseph and Will Bunch have a podcast about how big Pennsylvania is next month! The end of next month! Keep tuned in to Philadelphia Will Do to see a case study on the effects of brain melt on a writer. Aargh.

State police have busted a dude with a collection of child porn apparently by using tactics from the Book of ChrissMari:
BENSALEM - State police have busted another alleged child porn collector in Bucks County after trolling the Internet.
They managed to catch the dude after countless hours spent telling newbies to go back to other forums, telling bloggers their blogs aren’t as good as they used to be and exhorting the candidacy of Ron Paul.

A Pottsville man convinced a 15-year-old girl he was part werewolf and part vampire before sexually assaulting her, police say.
It’s good to know it’s not just Bigfoot who lives in Pennsylvania! The above lead comes from The Morning Call of Allentown, which reports on the arrest of 19-year-old Kristian Carl for statutory sexual assault. The teen also apparently believed he was a werewolf/vampire hybrid (informally a werepire).
Pottsville police Sgt. James Joos said Carl “showed me his canine teeth” to prove he was a vampire. He also noted to The Morning Call: “I let him know that all mammals, including humans, have canine teeth.” The police have doubts that Carl was really a vamp/wolf hybrid (for some reason), but he did apparently know the girl was 15 and he had to wait a year before consummating their relationship.
Carl also believed he had a guardian dragon. That part is true, too, but the dragon is on vacation this month and wasn’t there to stop Sgt. Joos. Carl is also the re-incarnated starting quarterback of the 1925 Pottsville Maroons.
Update: Be sure to check out the comments section, where death is suggested as a valid punishment for a 19-year-old having sex with his 15-year-old girlfriend.
