Oh, #AusPol. You funny, funny little bugger.
The giant election campaign of 2016 already seems like its been going on forever, and we still have two whole weeks left. So many overwhelming opinions! So much conflicting information! So many politicians saying purposely inflammatory things to get more media coverage! (Soz.)
It gets tiring. So, if your local MP has done something a bit crap, or if a particular pollie hurts your soul every time they open their mouths (Oh hey Cory Bernardi, what up?), you now have a solution.
Send them a ball gag! Duh.
There’s now a company, Gag Your MP, that will send the pollie of your choice a ball gag for the low, low price of $14.99.
See below for verification of this inane, yet endearing start-up business:
If only @realdepp (or his dogs) had been able to send @Barnaby_Joyce one of these last year… pic.twitter.com/RDmB4rULhW

While some of packaging and posters look a bit rough, would you say your main concern when couriering asphyxiation sex toys to politicians is professional-looking, tasteful signage? Probably not. The message is the important part.
If you’re thinking to yourself, ‘What in the ever-loving FUCK? Is this serious?‘, then the brains behind GYMP (was this acronym on purpose?), Tyler Hamilton, has that answered for you too:
He says that he started the business after someone joked that they should send Cory Bernardi a buttplug, to stop him ‘talking out his arse’:
“The project started during the Safe Schools debate, when Cory Bernardi would have a new homophobic argument against the program each day. I had read online about somebody wanting to send him a buttplug to stop him talking out of his arse. I thought it was a great idea.I was hoping that by allowing people to send these, it would be more of a message to our politicians that people are unhappy with what they are saying.So far we have sent a few to Cory Bernardi, one to Peter Dutton, Barnaby Joyce. Somebody just bought a golden ball gag to send to Donald Trump about 15 minutes ago.”
So, there you have it. Look, Malcolm ‘Continuity and Change’ Turnbull asked for growth, jobs and innovation in small business, did he not?
