Mississippi is that ridiculous state that bans sex toys. Why don't they go all they way and just ban sex?
Apparently, a sex store was selling such gadgets when an enterprising prude, I mean reporter, barged in with an exclusive expose. Kandiss Crone, a disgrace to her profession, shoved the camera in the face of the sex store worker confronting him about his contraband - or cock-tra-band, if you will.
Read more about this shocking incident on Dan Savage's blog.

Wayne, why do you have to criticize our friends from Mississippi? Don't you know they're just trying to avoid the lures of the Evil One?

Kandiss Crone?!?!?! sounds like a Halloween drag name. What a perfect name for some bible banging hillbilly prude. She's the type who probably has a big black dildo at home, hidden in her hollowed out bible under her husbands Ku Klux Klan sheets (minimal thread-count of course).

I doubt Kandiss Crone's husband would be in the KKK. The photo of her on Savage's blog shows she's Black. Anyways, I think Savage is right on when he says the TV station and the sex shop owner are in the exact same business: selling sex. Except the sex shop owner SAYS he's selling sex. The TV station sells sex in the guise of disdaining it.
But from another point of view, the TV station may be fully aware of this and uses its subversive style as a front. It's quite possible the news team itself is not opposed to the sale of such "3-dimensional objects" but uses outrage to move an audience that is easily outraged.
