Not one, but two letters were sent from the Pentagon to a Toronto-based sex toy store, found inside the boxes of returned adult items that had somehow made their way to a U.S naval base in Bahrain.
I love everything about this. They got a bullying letter from the US Navy over something beyond their control, handled it like professionals, turned it into free publicity and a news story, and the reporters got a sheepish “no comment” from both the DoD and Bahrainian officials. chef’s kiss BRB, I think I need to order some butt plugs.
They didn’t get bullied. The letter just notified the company the parcel was returned because the US base complies with the host country’s import customs.
This is to notify you that the parcel was returned to the sender .Please notify the sender that pornographic materials or devices are not allowed into the Kingdom of Bahrein.
All I can see is an information why the package was returned. The only thing that went “wrong” is that it was returned to the address of the original sender and not to the address of the person who forwarded the parcel to Bahrein.
If that middle man didn’t put their address on the package, it’s no surprise that it was instead sent to the original sender.
Tbh, there’s not really a story at all. The package contained stuff that’s illegal in the destination country and thus was returned. A letter was attached to explain that fact. That’s it.
I haven’t seen Pam in pixel format before, that could easily be from an 80s Sierra game, though I didn’t count pixels or colours to be sure but if my memory works and it sure does not I’d say it’s good.

This. No bullying in sight.

I love how they framed the letter and hung it on their wall.
No one takes the USA seriously.
Not even butt plug sellers.
Especially butt plug sellers. Canada has thousands employed mining buttplugs.
The children yearn for the…nope.

In a bedazzled frame.
Surely and I mean SURELY this is Streisand effect in full force. I wonder how many they’re going to receive in the coming months.
Bahrain is going to have butt plugs coming out the…
…well, you know…
Oh, yeah, exactly what I was thinking. Anybody got an address that would maximize the impact?
