Could these guys be bigger assholes? (NSFW)

I suppose they could--- perhaps using the 'women eating on the tubes' bullshit to fight global starvation or something.

But something about this brand of assholery is striking--like they've raised being an asshole to an art form. I wasn't going to post anything about this. Still probably shouldn't since they are like malignant children, crying for negative attention. Plus there's an embedded video, and I didn't want to give our stalker friends gratuitous thrills-- because, well, they're the same kind of asshole. And they're proud of it. Which is nausea inducing, involuntary shudderingly, hair crawling creepy. But we know there plenty of creepers around.

But, I gave in.

'Simple Pickup' Films Women On Sex Toy For Female Circumcision Awareness, Undermines Issue

If a video of women riding a sex toy in public were just a stunt to encourage participants to own their sexuality, we’d watch, turn a little red, share with friends (probably not directly to Facebook) and move on.

But this hyper-sexual stunt waged by Simple Pickup -- an all-male group that advises men on topics such as how to pick up women when you’re high –- tried incorporating a devastating human rights issue into the film, and it fell predictably flat.

The three-member posse (whom you may remember from another controversial stunt that involved them motorboating women for breast cancer awareness) brought a Sybian, a female sex toy, to Venice Beach.

They offered female passersby the chance to ride it while also raising awareness and funds for Orchid Project, a nonprofit that fights to stop the practice of female genital mutilation (FGM).

While there are numerous issues with this awareness campaign, a glaring problem is its inherent insensitivity to one of FGM's most dire consequences. According to UNICEF, one of the reasons communities continue the practice of FGM is to reduce a woman's sexual desire, a pleasure the woman featured in the video unabashedly enjoy.
