The Bucket of Smut is taking over Station Manager Ken's office, and mystery boxes keep arriving. Today's package was from Adam and Eve, which is a cool place for many reasons. Owner Phil Harvey started the business to raise money for family planning in Third-World countries; he's donated tens of millions of profits to HIV/AIDS programs overseas. The Regan administration's attempts to shut down Adam & Eve's North Carolina operations are detailed in Harvey's book The Government Vs. Erotica: The Siege of Adam & Eve.
The haul from Adam & Eve is a grand prize all by itself:
- Phallix functional erotic glass art. Translation: fancy pyrex dildo. Value: $200. (no kidding, and that's not including the velvety pillow/carrying case)
Futurotic Lovers Kit. It's Futurotic. What more do you need to know? Value: $40.
- The Flicker vibrator promises "Orgasm In 5 Minutes…Or Your Money Back!", but you are getting this for free, so if it takes 10 minutes, too bad. Value: $30.
- 20" pink jelly double dildo scared me when I got to it at the bottom of the box, because it looked like a pink two-headed giant eel. Value: $40.
Love whip. Value: $20.
- Sex fizzies and massage oil. Value: $20.
- Silicone Slims Self-Satisfier. "This little guy will be your best friend!" Value: $15.
The Bucket of Smut is now worth over $1,000! That's a lot of smut, people.
All you have to do to get in the running for this prize is pledge $65 or more to WFMU online, or by calling (800) 989-9368, by midnight March 12. Then send an email to amanda (at) wfmu (dot) org, mentioning the Bucket. We'll pick a winner after the marathon.

That is pretty amazing. How many people have entered the contest so far, if you don't mind me asking?

Maybe if it gets to be too much smut for one person, it should be split into 10 smaller pails o' smut; I'd be afraid that if one person wins all of the smut, we may not hear from him or her and their partner for a while. The "Flicker" alone sounds like enough for one person/couple.
