When Does a Sex Toy Become a 'Pleasure Aid'?

A: When it's being displayed on TVGuide.com. At least that's what happened to one of our most beloved sex toys, the NaughtiNano, when we sent a few dozen to the folks putting together the gift bags for the cast of The Starter Wife. We know we're supposed to be most excited about getting a vibe in the hands of the star, Debra Messing, but truth be told, it was knowing that something went from our little shop in the hinterlands of Canada directly into the talented and sexy hands of Judy Davis that has our collective panties in a bunch.But back to the euphemism. Once approached to contribute something sexually suggestive to the bags our first phone call was to Suki and Brian at OhMiBod, they of the beautifully designed, smartly functional, tech friendly vibrators. They agreed and off we sent a basket of goodies for celebrities and gossip magazines alike.It was only today that I followed a link to one of the bag giveaways, this one on TVGuide, to discover that not only is our NaughtiNano in the company of flavoured water, chocolate, and, inexplicably, a pair of gardening gloves, but they've taken all the carefully worded copy we sent them and replaced it with "The Naughty nano pleasure aid."We'd be upset about this attempt to clean it up for the family crowd, except we're pretty sure whoever put the text together had their own laugh over the "Toss" bag that all the goodies come wrapped in.If you want a chance to win your very own "pleasure aid" (and a few "tomboy" tools which could also function as pleasure aids) check out the link below.TvGuide.ca 'The Starter Wife' Pampered Prize Pack Giveaway
