“The tampon taser/stun gun is the latest in portable and personal security systems. The beauty of this taser/stun gun, aptly named The Pink Stinger, is its ingenious design and ability to be concealed nicely and unassumingly into any purse for ultimate stealth. The taser’s gentle glide zapplicator easily fits in the palm of your hand for incredible comfort and protection and ready for honorable discharge at a moments notice. In addition, its fresh floral scent helps eliminate the smell of fear, not just cover it up.

A New Zealand company, using an email filter that deems the word “gay” to be “inappropriate for business-like communication” has hit a bump.

A customer, Gay Hamilton had emailed the company’s helpdesk only to recieve an automated reply containing the following:

“[Your email] was identified by our content filtering processes as containing language that may be considered inappropriate for business-like communication,”

It had also included a threat of disciplinary action. Imagine the poor woman’s shock because not only was the “offensive” word her first name but it just so happened that she really was gay.
