Kill the husband and send the woman a dildo!

Are we supposed to laugh at this?

This is not American sense of humor, ok? Are you trying to say that you do not have any idiots in your country? You know, there are some Turkish Americans here as well, are you saying that by being American they also have this kind of "sense of humor"?
Oh, and this company that sent the vibrators... it is just nauseating.

I find their actions to be in very bad taste. But then again, they may have made somone´s day.

I doubt that. It is just so offensive... and coming from the invading country... Sounds more like a marketing "idea" being extremely offensive (which marketing isn´t offensive? ). If they really wanted to help, they would have spent that money on water supplies. One more reason to hate the ´sex industry´.

Or more like a message that you don´t NEED a man. Maybe that´s how I´m interpreting it. But yes, I agree it is in bad taste.

You know, in Iraq, men are not just ´necessary´ for sex. There are some more essential survival needs that men fulfill there.

This is hideous and as you say Cat, another reason to hate the industry - I couldn´t agree more. We live in a fallen world where sex, violence and degredation are the top three most valuable selling points ! What a shame

It is not that surprising in a way that people who think the war is just a video game from cnn for them, CAN make these type of jokes..
It is understandable..

That´s so tactless. Some people are simply sick.
