Sex Prick Presents Ex-Girlfriend With Pipe Bomb Dildo

Posted by Dan Savage on Thu, Jan 6, 2011 at 3:22 PM

This probably means we won't be able to fly with vibrators anymore:

A Waseca man has been charged with felony creation and possession of an explosive or incendiary device and felony terroristic threats after authorities discovered a homemade explosive device hidden in a sex toy. Terry Allen Lester, 37, faces a maximum penalty of 10 years imprisonment and a $20,000 fine if convicted.... According to the criminal complaint, Lester had made some modifications to a sex toy. He put gun powder, BB shot and buck shot from shotgun shells into one with black and red wires that connected to a trigger with a battery port.

There was no battery inside the device. The complaint maintains that Lester was going to give the device to one of three women he had broken up with after the relationships turned sour.

Thanks to Slog tipper James.

Ship your dildos next day.

LADIES: do not take sex-toys from ex-lovers. And no, I am not blaming the victim or trying to disempower them.

Golly. I wonder why he can't seem to make a relationship work.

If you can use a dildo to make a pipe bomb, you can use anything. Blowdryers and curling irons come to mind. They'll have to ban everything if they ban dildos.

In other news, it's the rare local-crime story that is so poorly written that it's actually hard to understand what happened. This is one of those.

Thanks for posting this! I am glad to have another photo of a terrorist-with-a-mullet for my collection.

"Well, it's too bad things didn't go well with Terry, but this is quite a thoughtful gift! In fact, I'm so horny to get this vibrating dildo to my lady parts, I kind of don't care that it feels like it's filled with FOUR POUNDS OF SHRAPNEL. Also, I will wait until it's COMPLETELY INSIDE ME before switching it on."

It's almost more creepy that he thought an ex would accept a sex toy as a gift than the fact that he wanted to kill them!

Lead is heavy stuff. I'll bet the fact that the thing weighed about four pounds was the first clue.

Exploding dildo full of buckshot=absolutely fucking terrifying.

With that mullet, he was obviously channeling his inner MacGuyer. This is why I never date mullets.

@douchus: It's not disempowering to buy your own sex toys. I buy mine BECAUSE I'm empowered, which means that a) I make my own money and can afford to and b) I can make myself cum and c) I want to use some of the money I make to by things that make me cum.

Beware of sex toys given to you by prick ex-boyfriends that have wires hanging out of them and weigh 4 pounds. Good to know, makes me glad I don't have to date.

@despicable me: Or an IQ of 50, huh?

Posted by fallen angel on January 6, 2011 at 6:20 PM

hmm. I just realized that it wouldn't be either creepy or alarming for some of my exes to give me a sex toy as a present. Of course, we ended on good terms, and remain good friends years later.

Posted by wingedkat on January 6, 2011 at 6:40 PM

But the fact is, at one point he had THREE (3) WOMEN!

Guess I don't stand a chance in the WA State gene pool if this is the gals idea of a winner...

This is a creepy and alarming tale ... and now I know how truly shallow I am, because my first thought was, "Man, no more sex toys in checked luggage? But what about my spring vacation?"

Posted by brideoffrankenstein on January 7, 2011 at 3:12 AM

Fucking Hell? 10 years and $20k fine is not enough for this level of extreme douchebaggery!

Posted by Bellinghamster on January 7, 2011 at 9:59 AM

I would take a sex toy from an ex, but only in its original packaging. How do you know he didn't dip it in idk... corrosive anti-vagina acid or something?
