I totally agree. Even the venerable BBC proudly displayed
a travelling "dildo set" from a century or more back, when
it was auctioned off at a fairly steep price by a premium
auction house, as a valuable collectible. I forget what the
technical term for it was, but it was fairly unpronouceable,
and definitely unspellable (by me at least).
