    It’s an absolute indictment of the pervasive inadequacy of privacy laws that this information was able to be compiled in the first place.

      City is not considered personally identification data. So no law applies to it. Anyone you buy your dildus from can sell data based on city and size. Just not your address and name.

      The sales numbers and distribution etc is considered their data not yours.

      I don’t think they went around people’s houses and measured them all like some kind of sexual doomsday book.

    “average uk resident buys 7.13 in dildo” factoid actualy just statistical error. average resident buys a belwo average dildo every few years. Dildos Georg, who travels around the UK and buys over 100 10 ft dildo each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

    Are there UK towns that are expected to buy the biggest dildos? What are the criteria for that?

    I often find myself remembering the earlier days of the internet fondly and missing all of the random and ridiculous content that used to proliferate it. Then stuff like this comes along and it brings me right back.

    Keep being weird, internet.

      intake is complete!

      You realize that could be taken in many different ways.

      Actually, so could my comment.

    UK… we need to talk.

    Where are you shopping? Are you getting a good deal? Do they offer international shipping?
