Sure, it's going to be gratifying voting for Barack Obama Tuesday (sorry one McCain reader), but the folks at Babeland want to make you feel even more gratified. Like, between your legs, if you know what we mean. The sex toy shop just sent over a press release, declaring that every voter that comes into their shop next Tuesday (and through the 11th) will receive a Silver Bullet vibrator, or a Maverick (pictured). That second one is for the men out there, and to put it conservatively, it's a...sleeve. All you have to do is "bring your voter registration card, ballot stub or your word of honor that you cast a ballot on November 4th" and they'll hook you up with the goods, which will probably help keep stress levels down until the election results are in.
