Green Kush will be legit in NY sooner than later.

But removing the pipes doesn't seem to be enough in the spirit of toning it down.

So, FAIL!

I'm kind of insulted that the thing they removed was the BONG. Really? Was that the most offensive thing? Frankly I think the display should have remained unchanged. One of the reasons women are treated like shit in this country is because everyone is taught to be ashamed of the female form. Screw that. I say we celebrate it in all its hedonism.

Speaking of which, this is not the first place in the area to sell sexy womens lingerie or have a display of lingerie in the window.

As long as they don't allow minors inside without adult supervision I really don't see an issue with this place being where it is, or displaying what it displays.

Just like with the Mosque on Voorhies, so long as the store follows all the laws it has every right to be here, naysayers be damned.

What is the difference between a nudist colony and a burlesque show?

Though there are some ignorant people that claim otherwise there is nothing prurient about nudist colonies. This, OTOH, has a openly prurient context.

It is legal for women in NY to walk down the street with exposed breasts. But we are not so mature a society that most women would feel safe doing so. On a hot summer night it could be a temptation. But it doesn't happen.

The suit took place in the early 90s but even after the first ruling it had to be reaffirmed. But I forget exactly why.

But as you see its not at all common to see women go barechested. But it's also not that common anymore to see men go barechested either.

Women make a conscious choice to dress in whatever way they choose. Part of the consideration is one of safety. There are some men who believe that women who dress in a certain way are “asking for it”. Better to avoid such problems.

The Mermaid Parade is a unique event. I'm sure participants didn't travel home in the same state.

While it appears that the offensive merchandise was removed, it was actually all purchased by Ned. They'll be restocking soon.

They're out of fleshlights, too. Nevermind how I know…

They sell them there? Now a better reason for me to stop by.

It's a sad day when we resort to rubber instead of the ol' standby of a palm and soap.

Oh, I don't support the Mosque. I'm 100% against it. But only it's location.
I think they should be on Knapp Street or Nostrand Ave, not on a residential
street. Well that's not completely true. I'm 100% against organized religion
and the tax free treatment they get. The Mosque should be on Nostrand or
Knapp and the property shouldn't be tax free (same for all religions). But
that's a discussion for some other time.

Never said that you were for it.

This shop could have been worse, like being a 24/7 video store. Seeing that it is open only on regular hours, I don't see the difference between this shop and those lingerie stores by Jerome Ave. Sure, they could put all the phalluses inside, instead of in the window.

Just hate how there must be community approval for anything that happens. I'm going to put up a talking statue of Jesus in a Santa suit with a menorah in one hand, and a ET doll in the other; and have him reciting some Salat prayers and getting it in the ass by the head of the Brooklyn tea Party.

Oh yeah, this is the place all right. Walk right in, set right down. Never know what you're gonna find on Sheepshead Bites.

I'll let my nose decide.

Sure, why not! Go for it Al, maybe that will also end up on the TV news. You can use it as a promotion to start the Mocha party. Apparently there is already a Coffee party.

I just see community standards as trying to get along. They can be more discreet and people will still understand what they are selling. Of course there are some people who will never be satisfied.
