Good. Seriously, I hope such actions will be met with complaints and lawsuits everywhere.

Sexual life is a very sensitive and intimate subject, and it's bad enough that she even had policemen invade it by opening the box (though this in particular is obviously a necessary part of police operations), let alone make a laughing matter out of it.

In general, though, I hope we will be able to eventually get more open about such things, so that it would be seen as a regular set of household items, even if it's hidden from plain sight.
