    'The A-hole is Nasty'

    You thought that Hardees' "Name Our Holes" campaign was the pinnacle of pornographic fast food advertisement? You are correct. "The A-hole tastes funny," declares a guy in this ad, for greasy doughballs. Well, okay. Let's just drop it. [via Adfreak]

    World Recession Harming Sex Tourism, Duh

    Many refer to stripping, escorting, and other naked-girl jobs as "recession proof," but that couldn't be further from the truth: when one's disposable income dries up, your weekly allowance for Candi and her insatiable taste for Champagne (which she gets a kickback on) over at the Hustler Club will be the first thing to cut back on. Today, however, the New York Times learns about the flesh trade and the fact that, like all industries, the financial crisis magically affects it, too! They lead with Prague, one of the capitals of sex tourism.

    Let's Turn Everything Into a Comment On the Economy!

    From the Mailbag: "Here’s a tip for you: I was just down on 27th Street for a meeting and thought you might like to know… [strip club] Scores West is reopening (tomorrow or Thursday) as a 'juice bar' because they still can’t get a liquor license. There’s a sign up outside the door right now." That means they can (legally, technically) dance "bottomless," yay! Here, let's write the generic media response: Which is better: a topless strip club with alcohol, or a naked one without? And what does it mean for Wall Street? (Answer: it doesn't mean anything; as Moe already pointed out, the ask-a-stripper angle on the freakonomic meltdown is so, so tired.)

    'No Nikita': Megan Fox's Crush Missing From Body Shop's Stripper Database

    Megan Fox's bracing candor in the new issue of GQ continued to captivate readers today, with her stripper-wooing antics and confession that "Olivia Wilde is so sexy she makes me want to strangle a mountain ox with my bare hands" stirring both deep resentments and arousal among animal-loving lesbian fetishists around the world. The sexless Defamer investigative crew, meanwhile, had more specific interests in mind: Olivia Wilde is lovely enough, but who exactly is "Nikita," the Body Shop stripper Fox claimed to have had a brief, intense fling after relocating to LA a few years ago at age 18? It's funny — when we called The Body Shop this afternoon, a veteran employee there wondered the same thing! More »

    The Art of Naked Ladies

    There are many, many ways this vast nation of ours has adapted to various vice laws. Remember during the Giuliani administration when "topless dancing" turned into "stopless dancing," and pretty women were temporarily forced to dance in their underwear? In other backwaters, one must cover up nipples with latex. Now, Iowa's loophole of classifying strip clubs as "performing arts centers" might get closed. Is it an art?! Sure, honey; it's whatever you want it to be. [AP]

    Stripper Porn Will Get You Out Of Iraq

    Five years into the war in Iraq, and I had no idea military guys aren't allowed to have any porn over there. That's perhaps because there don't seem to have been too many soldiers actually thrown out of the country over the stuff, probably because the armed services need every last person they can get. Six-figure private contractor gigs in Iraq, on the other hand, are still somewhat coveted, so ITT small-arms repairman Brian Sayler was pretty bummed to be ejected for possessing some DVDs he got free on a stateside break. A stripper, Cassidey (pictured), in Stoughton, Mass., patriotically donated a free lap dance to Sayler, along with a collection of free porn movies such as "Cassidey's Day Off." Both the military and its contractors have had a lax policy toward enforcing the porn ban, according to an article in Boston magazine, but for some reason Sayler's building in Iraq was searched and he was sent packing. He ended up winning reinstatement on appeal, but that's not the point: If porno freedom for brave troops abroad isn't Change We Can Believe In, then what is? [Boston]

    There's a new hotspot in The Bronx that you simply won't want to miss unless you hate sex and lunch meat. It's COUSIN VINNY'S LITTLE SECRET! Tell us: where else can you pay just $50 for six hours of hardcore lap dance action, unlimited fountain soda, and a footlong sandwich of your choice, all in "a discrete and totally safe atmosphere to indulge in your carnal fantasies": namely, a former Subway sandwich franchise. In the Bronx! We've been sent a transcribed version of the flier that "Cousin Vinny" Agnello—owner of a stripper service and the self-described "King of Bling featured as a "Celebrity" on the DIGGS WEBSITE" (two Diggs!)— is reportedly passing around the area. Our tipster says the local merchant's association is...concerned about Cousin Vinny's new venture. But we predict this will be a hot alternative to seeing Sex And The City.

    Scores Strip Club Sues New York for Police Corruption

    Oh, Scores! They've just filed a lawsuit against the city of New York and the State Liquor Authority, saying that the police are corrupt! Actually, it's Scores West, the slightly trashier cousin of Scores East, the famous Howard Stern-patronized rumored-to-be-mobbed-up strip club, where some working gals were busted for prostitution last year. (Anecdotes I've heard from former Scores dancers confirm its place in hell.) The police probably are corrupt, but this is the same place that openly tolerates prostitution, and even had secret rooms in the Scores West location specifically for that purpose. More »

"Sexuality is what society will turn its head for more than anything else," PETA's president told the Times.

    We'll Never Let You Forget About That One Night at the Strip Club

    Five years after a visit to the Scores gentleman's club, Australia's prime minister Kevin Rudd is still catching hell. And it's all the fault of the New York Post! (Fellow Aussie and NYP editor Col Allan was the one who took him there.) Now that Rudd is campaigning to curb teenage drinking, his opponents are not going to let him forget about his own foibles. The prime minister has pointed that he is no "Captain Perfect," whoever that is. We're sure he's the only man in Australia to ever have gotten drunk at a strip club! Concludes an AP article, "Australians are relatively tolerant of excessive drinking. Former Prime Minister Bob Hawke held a Guinness World Record for speed beer drinking during his days as a Rhodes Scholar." [Associated Press]

    Sneaky Marketers Use Strippers Against You

    When the concept of viral marketing first began circulating in the tech-boom '90s, it was, while still deceitful and annoying, at least more creative than it is today. You got the feeling that all those young web-friendly ad rats really put some thought into the funny little videos and games and stuff that they were using to conceal their unwanted sales pitch. Now, though, the standards for what's "viral" have, like most other things on the interweb, come down to one thing: boobs. This promotion for Xbox 360 [via Adrants] has just a cursory nod to humor, wit, and plot, before going right to the stripper taking off her top. Aaaaaaaand... then throw in the ad at the end! Bonus lameness: It was emailed with the message "Please find the attached viral." Geez, that's totally blowing the big secret, guys.

    How To Tell The Real Strippers From The Fakes

    "Stripper" is the styling-of-choice for so many non-stripping ladies these days. So what's the difference between an actual pole-dancer and, say, classily "branding" yourself as a young, sex-positive lass? (Heck, even the housewives of New Jersey have stripper-pole workout sessions in their own homes.) Can anybody tell the different between a strip club and the basement of Happy Ending on Tuesday nights anymore? This weekend, I went deep into Brooklyn to a neighborhood strip bar to find out if it felt just like the playgrounds of Manhattan. It didn't! More »

    Strippers Are So Back Right Now

    So as we mentioned, last night's L Magazine Nightlife party was a real touchy-feely affair. There were two cowboy strippers. One of them accosted this lady. One of them accosted me. VideoboyAlex Goldberg was there to capture the incredibly confusing portrayal of sexuality. The part where the first stripper does a handstand on the lady's chair and rubs his crotch in her face? That might be Not Safe For Work. All of this is leading us to a theory which we'll be exploring more over the next week: Are things dirty in New York again?

    Get Off The Pill, Make More Pole Dancin' Money

    Hey, strippers, wanna max out your earnings? Stop taking birth control! That's the conclusion drawn from a recent University of New Mexico study showing that exotic dancers "made about $70 an hour during their peak period of fertility, versus about $35 while menstruating and $50 in between." Pill-popping pole performers, however, averaged almost twenty dollars less than their nonspermicidal-wombed colleagues, which the study suggests is a result of the pill's "hormonal cues indicating early pregnancy." To research this very important subject, psychologist Geoffrey Miller "tapped the talent at local gentlemen's clubs and counted tips made on lap dances," which, to us at least, makes Geoffrey Miller perhaps the greatest psychologist ever. If you can convince someone to shell out grant money so you can spend your afternoons hanging out with Dakota and Stormee at the Titty Trap you are pretty much tops in your (or any) field. More »

    What Lindsay likely doesn't understand - yet probably wouldn't mind - is that stripping isn't simply about pole-dancing and pole-tricks. A significant portion of a stripper's night is spent in the darkened confines of strip clubs' various VIP and champagne rooms in constant physical contact with any desperate prick willing to fork over enough cash for a lapdance.
    "The choice we were faced with was some covering or no covering," said Keith Miller, the chief deputy attorney general. "We decided it was better to have these coverings than nothing at all."
    Even covered head-to-toe in latex, however, we still think she'd be something of a skank. More »
