The Sex and the City tour now apparently includes a stop at the Manhattan sex shop The Pleasure Chest, where tourists are invited to check out a selection of Sex and the City sex toys, including The Miranda, which bears the tagline, “suitable for any power-loving woman.” Jeremiah’s Vanishing New York has pictures of “consumer orgy” (tee hee) and thoughts. This, for me, is the key takeaway:

I love hating SATC too much to stop hating it, but there might be one good thing to come from it if, in the tightly wrapped heart of the American heartland, more Christian women are having orgasms and more Christian men are discovering their own assholes.

Much like the only other piece of SATC promo/synergy that seems capable of turning anyone on, I have a hard time finding a problem with that.

If you have no female friends to accompany you on such a journey, chances are you’re not the type of broad who’s really going to get anything out of it anyway; if you STILL feel like you have to see it, are you really so insecure that you can’t go to a movie by yourself? Really, it doesn’t matter. Whatever you’re thinking, please take this advice: there are things you and your boyfriend just don’t need to share. Give him the night off.

Of course, there will be women out there who don’t heed such advice, and for the poor boyfriends caught up in their careless webs, at least there’s something of an outplan. We got a press release at Spout HQ this afternoon about a promotion spearhead by Geek Squad––yeah, as in the orange shirts from Best Buy––designed to “save” the young men of America from a weekend full of “torture” outside the jurisdiction of the Geneva Convention. Sounds noble, right? Or at least, as noble as any totally opportunistic marketing scheme could be. Details after the jump.
