UCLA, NYU, & U-Dub Kids Vote for Babeland Sex Toys (and Democracy)

Tomorrow on election day, you can vote to get your rocks off— literally. The sex shop Babeland is doing its part to support the democratic process, incentivizing voting by offering free sex toys to voters.

MSNBC reports:

Just when you thought it was safe to focus on the issues in this historic election season, a chain of sex toy shops has joined retailers, restaurateurs and other businesses across the nation in the time-honored tradition of rewarding Americans who go to the polls.

Babeland, with stores in New York, Los Angeles and Seattle, is offering a pair of self-gratifying incentives for voters who present their registration cards, ballot stubs or “word of honor” that they voted next Tuesday.

The rewards are no-so-subtle reminders of this year’s campaign rhetoric. For men, it’s the “Maverick,” a "sleeve" for self-pleasuring. According to a press release, “He’s always there to lend a hand, he works for every man, and he bucks the status quo.” Women can choose the “Silver Bullet” mini-vibrator, which is “a magical solution to difficult problems” and “a great stress-reliever during these troubled economic times!” The promotion lasts through Nov. 11…

As to whether Babeland expects voters who take them up on the offer to lean one way or the other politically, Doan said, “Sex crosses party lines. … We’ve tried to make this into a nonpartisan reward because we welcome everyone. That’s our philosophy and our mission. We didn’t want to reward only Obama supporters. We have a lot of Republicans who shop at Babeland too.”

Wait, republicans like sex too? Like besides with the Sarah Palin blowup doll? Let’s not get absurd here…

NYUers, U-Dubers, and UCLAers can get their vote on to get off by visiting ballot boxes and Babeland stores in NYC, LA, and Seattle.
