Protesters Videotape Customers at New Vacaville Sex Shop
Protesters Videotape Customers at New Vacaville Sex Shop

VACAVILLE, CA - The business is only one week old, but already it's drawing protests in Vacaville. In fact, those against the new Secrets Boutique lingerie shop are videotaping customers going in and out of the store, then plan to put that tape up on the Internet.

Holding a sign saying "Smile, You're on YouTube," protestors have a small camera set up and have been gathering in front of the store on East Monte Vista Avenue since it opened on the frontage road of Interstate 80 just west of the Nut Tree.

The point of controversy isn't the lingerie or body oils sold inside, but an adults-only room in the back of the store. The room is filled with sex toys and pornographic DVDs.

"We believe this is not the right place for a store with a high volume of pornography and other explicit adult materials to be sold," said Jeremy White, a local youth pastor leading the protest. "I don't see a lot of merit in the proliferation of pornography."

1. it amazes me
how people choose to spend their time. you'd think they could find something better to do than worry about what other people are doing in their own private lives.

6. This is pretty common. There are often yahoos with video cameras trying to shut down...

...strip clubs and smut shops by shaming the customers.

Never works.

11. The real question is
Vibe on or off? I think on would have the better effect, but it may affect my dick-shun.

13. You should organize an event.

Find masks of prominent religious and Republican leaders and all of you walk into the store dressed like that.

16. Absolutely Amazing and Astounding.
This is the sort of thing Fundamentalpatients worry about: something that's been around for thousands of years and is responsible for their existence.

Not whether Iraqi women and their babies are being killed or not. That's "Gawd's Will", and perfectly alright to them.

18. How much you want to bet that the youth pastor is involved in illicit sex with young members...
or other church members? Maybe is serviced by the local prostitute.

20. This is Vacaville. Cow town. The dysfunctional city that ran Cindy Sheehan out
Vacaville is one screwed up city. There may be fine people in the area, but I have never met them. I have encountered pig and cousin fuckers, though. The city has some of those mega churches that seem to attract sheeple, the ones that don't know how to think for themselves. Dimes to donuts says you will find one of these Fundy churches spearheading this ridiculous bit of protesting. Get a life.

Oh, did I say I really dislike Vacaville?
