Park Slope Declares Love for Babeland
The NY Post spoke to two Park Slope residents before declaring the new Babeland sex toy shop would be giving off some bad vibes to the locals when it moved into their 'hood. But NYMag points out the Park Slope parents, if the Brooklynian message board is any indication, are rather delighted by their future neighbor.
One stroller pusher declared, "How silly of the Post. Where do they think all the babies come from?" Well, certainly not from vibrators, but point taken. Other residents jokingly inquired if strollers will be allowed, while one commenter declared, "I give Babes two weeks before it looks like the Tea Lounge."
For the most part, the locals have one message for Babeland, summed up by a commenter: "Park Slope loves you. We can't wait." Seems like those two are gonna get along just fine...but won't someone think of the children?

ehh. Babeland is probably the most discreet sex store.

I'm embarrassed to say on my first week on 5th Ave. in the Slope I wandered into Ginger's in the middle of the afternoon while the place was deserted. While I was enjoying a beer and what could be my cool new cozy-looking neighborhood bar, the bartender came over and said, "You know, the boys generally like to get together at a place up the street." Two minutes after I responded "That's ok, I actually can't stand sports bars," I slapped my forehead and said "Oh! I get it!"
Thanks to that bartender for being remarkably understanding to an idiot new to the neighborhood.

Maybe you just should have stayed there.
Even girls need a male --g hag.

Didn't the Park Slope mommies go apeshit over a porn store a few years ago or was that a different gentrified Brooklyn neighborhood I'm thinking of? I guess it's all in the packaging. Creepy DVD store with video booths in the back and that caters to men = bad. Dildo vendors that "empower" women = good?

i hear they're handing out birth control at the door with every purchase of a dildo

Figures the NY Post chooses to quote some guy (fearing replacement by batteries) and some stay-at-home mom (still referring to it as a "pee-pee'). Where's Carrie Bradshaw and her gal-pals when you need them?

Park Slope is so edgy.

I just hope this doesn't lead to an increase in childbirths in the Slope.

All I wanna know is WHEN is this location opening? Can anyone tell me? I need a new C ring.

Well. Yes.

"Where do they think all the babies come from?" All the babies are from Babeland?
I wonder if the condoms they are selling are so bad.
