Dear Iraqi woman

An adult toy store in Edi­son, New Jer­sey {Play­time}, to accom­pany thirty-six vibra­tors sent as gifts to Iraqi women last Octo­ber. the let­ters were writ­ten by employ­ees of Play­time, what else they will send, Brad Pitt’s blow up doll?? read the letters:

Dear Iraqi Woman

From what I’ve seen on the news, you and your fel­low women have been sup­pressed for some time, and now that you’ve been lib­er­ated it is our think­ing that we should spread love and hope. There’s no bet­ter way to do that than with vibrators.

I’ve selected a glow-in-the-dark vibra­tor with vari­able speeds because it is not only a con­ve­nient size and shape but the glow fea­ture may come in handy dur­ing those dark Iraqi nights. I’m also enclos­ing some Eros lube because it is one of the best lubes I have ever used and I think it will hold up well in the arid desert con­di­tions. It’s our hope that through these vibra­tors we can in some small way bridge the gap between our two countries.

Howdy from NJ!

Hello. I’d like you to know I per­son­ally selected the enclosed vibra­tor for you.

We have never met and I don’t know any­thing about you, but I do know that the enclosed vibra­tor is very pop­u­lar with women in the 21–35 age bracket and was fea­tured in a TV show here in the U.S. called Sex and the City.

I hope that when you use this vibra­tor you real­ize that Amer­i­cans do not hate you or your coun­try. We are a kind and lov­ing peo­ple who just want every­one to live freely and with­out oppression.

Dear Iraqi Woman,

As the bombs and molten death rain unmer­ci­fully upon your home­land, know that there are those of us, in var­i­ous cor­ners of the world, who sym­pa­thize with what you are going through.

Although there is very lit­tle that I myself can accom­plish to stop the inva­sion of our home­land, know that I am help­ing to send you var­i­ous sex­ual toys and well-wishes in a show of sol­i­dar­ity. The Prophet (just like all reli­gious fig­ures) preaches patience, and I believe that your suf­fer­ing will be short-lived.

Soon your pre­cious oil reserves will be plun­dered, and our coun­try will no longer be impor­tant. A local despot will gain power, and the great cycle will con­tinue. Enjoy your vibra­tor while you can. When my fel­low Amer­i­cans leave your coun­try, it is highly unlikely that you will be able to enjoy it much longer.

Greet­ings to my Iraqi sister,

I love get­ting gifts and sur­prises, and I hope you feel the same way. The items in this box were selected per­son­ally by me for you. The Sphinc­ter­ine wipes will help you keep your anus and vagina minty fresh (I imag­ine things get a bit musky there in Iraq) and tast­ing great. The lube is one of the finest in the world and can really help enhance your pleasure.

The vibra­tor I am enclos­ing is the same as the model I per­son­ally use. It is so soft and bend­able and fea­tures metal plea­sure beads attached to the cen­ter shaft so the beads can con­tinue to rotate regard­less of how tight you clench! Trust me, it can be one wild ride!

Feel­ings here in the U.S. are mixed about Iraq right now, just as I am sure your feel­ings are mixed about Amer­ica. What I want you to know is that I am send­ing this gift to show that the sis­ter­hood of woman is stronger than pol­i­tics, stronger than reli­gion, and stronger than any doc­trine or rhetoric. It unites us all, and through this bond we can find peace. Enjoy this gift, my far­away sis­ter, and know that I love you.

    Hur­ray. Hip Hip Hur­ray!, Hip Hip Hurray!

    It is truly time for some self love to enter the iraqi coun­try­side and met­ro­pol­itin areas. I would only hope that 6 mil­lion more vibra­tors are quickly con­sumed and used in Iraq very soon.

    dear bagh­dad dweller,
    i would like to say that i am sorry that these women sent these mes­sages and “toys” some peo­ple have no clue, and they don’t care because they think that “every­one” feels or does the same as they do, and not every­one does.shame on you women. keep your filth to your­selves, unless of course it is ASKED FOR FIRST

    OMG, vibra­tors are sent to “bridge” the gap between the States and Iraq???Give me a break.What a bunch of non sense.Though prob­a­bly these women dont mean any mali­cious thoughts, but Umm vibra­tors as presents, will def­i­nitely send the wrong message.

    What hap­pened to the con­ven­tional stuff???
