County Supervisor Files Lawsuit Over Five-Inch Chocolate Penis

Last June, Ventura County Supervisor Linda Parks received an anonymous delivery from a novelty website called Dick at Your Door. It’s pretty much what it sounds like. They delivered a box with a five-inch piece of milk chocolate shaped like a phallus inside.
