Angry Militia Leader: Stop Mailing Us Dildos (Warning: Language)

Gawker

Video at link



No one ever said it’s easy to take a stand against the federal government: it’s cold, there aren’t enough snacks, everyone is pissy, and a bunch of strangers won’t stop sending you hate mail and dicks.

Ritzheimer says he’s sick of this garbage:


He takes particular issue with an enormous dildo and a “bag of dicks” that appear to be made out of candy—a form of snack, so I’m not sure what his beef is here. Militia spokesperson Maureen “Mo” Peltier echoes Ritzheimer’s disgust:

People spending money to send items representing their hate. That could have been spent on good things. Or those in need. Or something.

Billy Gober posted a genius idea, sell it back on ebay. So, keep sending stupid shit, it’s gonna turn a dime for them. Lol Economics!
I love the idea of the Oregon militiamen selling dildos on eBay, so yes, consider the plan fully endorsed.


Ritzheimer’s video ends with him sweeping the entire table of anti-militia mail onto the floor in an extremely dramatic fashion.

That opens the door for shipments of nearly any kind.

For those in the "patriot" groups who have children, I hope the point is not lost on their kids that their fathers seized a bird sanctuary and after begging for snacks, sold sex toys on eBay.

It will make a lovely memory.

I know. This is more than the allowed 4 paragraphs, but please, I just could not resist.


This bag of gummy penises is a great way to tell your friends, family, loved ones, or enemies to 'EAT A BAG OF DICKS'. Sent anonymously with a stock message, this product will get your point across in a way that nobody will mistake.

A tasty gift? or just an funny reminder that someone should stuff it; leave the recipient guessing.

IMPORTANT: Make sure you put the recipients name and address in the shipping option. Otherwise it's you that ends up with the bag of dicks, albeit deservedly.

**Recipient and purchaser must be 18 years of age or older**

We may ship regular or sour flavor gummy dicks depending on availability.

Remember that look of joy you got on your face on Christmas morning when you went downstairs and unwrapped a big bag of socks? Us neither.

Dicks by Mail is the easy way to send that feeling to anyone in your life that deserves that feeling of sadness, disappointment and betrayal (or laughter).

deployed by people across the entire sexual spectrum.

The noun 'dildo' also is used as a pejorative. Regarding usage, it's a randier version of 'dodo'; thus calling someone a dildo-head or a dodo-head suggests that he or she is not terribly cerebral.

Having snacks sent to these "patriots" -- these rough and tough armed men taunting the federal government yet begging for snacks -- in the form of a bag of dick-shaped candies is not suggestive of homophobia, but a comment on their idiocy.

for the guy in charge, back when I was on bigger construction projects. The more physical the work, and the more free time, I think I might have been more likely to hear that, though I have heard it among firemen and cops too.

It has nothing to do with homophobia. It's just that many guys are pre-occupied by their penises. We let them think for us, lead us around.

When actually confronted with one...or more...however, they scare some of us almost as bad as nipples. That's how people are.


That's not to say homophobia wasn't all or part of what they got, but it's not a default "meaning".

The homophobia is obvious. They are being called gay as a pejorative, meaning they are weak and unmanly. The symbolism in sending dildos is unmistakable.
