The press release of the day, however, comes not from Canada's barren
plains, but from the fertile imagination of Tom Prichard, president of the
Minnesota Family Council. In his all-points-bulletin, the Grand Inquisitor
of Minneapolis manages the not- insubstantial feat of raising the bogeymen
of the Vikings love boat tour three separate times in four sentences. (Is
he trying to drum up a special Turkey-Day cruise for the easily outraged Al
and Alma?)
Without having met Tom Prichard, whose nickname is not "Peeping Tom," we
have a hunch he's the kind of family guy who supports corporal
punishment--as long as it's not between consenting adults. Here, without
any more foreplay, is Prichard's release:
City of Minneapolis Criticized for Hosting "Sex and So Much More" Show at
Minneapolis Convention Center
The city of Minneapolis had better insure the event doesn't become an on-
land version of the Vikings' boat party orgy, says Group
MINNEAPOLIS--The Minnesota Family Council criticized the city of
Minneapolis for hosting the November 17-20 "Sex and So Much More" Show and
called upon the city to closely monitor the event to insure it's not an
expanded version of the Viking's boat party orgy.
"We are very disappointed that the city is hosting the "Sex and So Much
More" Show at the Minneapolis Convention Center," said Tom Prichard,
President of the Minnesota Family Council. "I wonder whether the city did
its due diligence to insure the event isn't an expanded on-land version of
the Vikings' boat party orgy. Looking at the Show's webpage makes one wonder."
The Show describes itself as
"...an upscale consumer trade show that showcases everything and anything
to do with sex, sensuality, romance, and self-improvement.
This stimulating show is exciting and alluring to an affluent, liberal
minded audience.
We are hosting a forum that displays the hottest trends in the sex industry
that will also include informative demonstrations, entertainment, and
contests.
Sex no longer has to be taboo, we want to bring the intrigue and mystery
into the open and into the bedroom (or wherever you choose to have your fun!)
We are dedicated to satiating the curiosity of singles and couples alike in
a provocative yet non-threatening environment...
There will be hot entertainment and a beer garden, as well as fashion
shows, contests, and appearances by famous adult celebrities."
"I trust Mayor Rybak and Police Chief McManus will insure the event doesn't
violate Minnesota's obscenity laws," concluded Prichard.
Minnesota law explicitly prohibits actual or simulated public sex acts
under Mn Stat. Sec. 617.241.
EY: I wonder if Tom Prichard will be attending this for er "research". I
think it's kind of nice that Prichard has taken a break from his obsession
with gay people. I'm sure that the next press release from the MFC will go
back to their favorite topic.
