Exactly. Mardi Gras is not supposed to be about irreverence, overturning social conventions and extravagant behavior. It's been a very staid holiday since the Puritans brought it to America.

You can throw beads with dick

Technically I would bet most krewes don't allow that. Kind of hard to enforce though. Of course you will see it on Bourbon though.

The first year I rode 15 years ago I threw little vibrators to women that I recognized on the route.

The beads also would be in violation of city code section 34-28(b), which defines acceptable throws:

"No Mardi Gras parade participant shall knowingly throw any doubloon, trinket or other throw which would be redeemable for or entitle the bearer to a prize or a discount on the price of any food, beverage, merchandise, service or admission to any event or which displays, conveys or communicates any commercial, political or religious message," it reads.

Isn't Mardi Gras itself a religious message?

When did this start exactly? I remember wooden Sonic doubloons as a kid.

Muses, Orpheus, Endymion ask members not to toss 'Forever Lee Circle' beads in parades

Here's an appropriate float in Muses



Oh..Here's a non-commercial float



Here's a non-political float

But hey guys..it's against the law to throw "political" trinkets!!!

Yea because officials are gonna be able to check the mounds and mounds of throws before they roll.
