Sex Toy = Military Threat

A remote-controlled "love egg" sex toy has reportedly been banned by Cyprus amid fears that the device could disrupt military systems. According to a press report:

...the Love Bug 2 sex toy has been banned because the Cypriot military is concerned its electronic waves would disrupt the army's radio frequencies. Operated by a remote control with a range of six metres, it is described by Ann Summers as 'deceptively powerful'. The company said: 'The Love Bug 2 is available in Cyprusbut we have had to put a warning out urging Cypriots not to use it.'
The company's website promises some great "clitoral lovin" (isn't that a phrase that just rolls off your tongue?) and "vibrations so divine you're clenching the tablecloth in ecstasy."
Cypriots have alternatives: they could go for the company's best-selling Rampant Rabbit Thruster whose "amazing vibe feels just like a man.....only better!"

Just waiting for the day when international vibrator sales require an FMS authorization or are subject to export controls.

As a side note, how old are the Cypriot radios that they can be jammed by a sex toy? Do they think the Turks have a lesser technology so their radios would be alright in combat? *shrug*

TFM says the Love Bug 2 only has a range of 6 meters. How exactly did the Cypriot military discover this particular device caused problems with thier radios and why would they care. Sounds like one of the generals has a real Bug up his butt.

As far as the six metre range, keep in mind that the sensitivity of the, ahem, receiver is probably pretty decent, and the output power of the transmitter (not to mention antenna efficiency) pretty dismal. That might not be the case for, say, vehicle- or aircraft-mounted radios used on that particular frequency by the military...

Gives new meaning to "exiciting war games", eh? :)

Don't tell me that this was why the B-2 needed a new radar - NorthGrum SAID it was a conflict with commercial frequencies, after all.
