DETROIT – How bad are things around the Motor City? So bad that even Jon Jon's Cabaret is offering half-off deals.
The topless club in the suburb of Warren – where General Motors and Chrysler employ upwards of 20,000 people – cut the cost of a table dance in half, from $20 to $10, in mid-November. The dancer gets all the money plus any tips, while food and drinks generate the club's income, general manager Kelly Sander said Tuesday.
Jon Jon's has lowered prices on drinks, but business is still down 50 percent from a year ago, Sander said. She now opens the club at 6 p.m. instead of 11 a.m.

I’m surprised that a topless bar in Detroit gets any business at all- most folks around there go to the “Windsor Ballet”.

I have a concern that this thread may not be taken seriously by some, and so I wanted to add a bit of intellectual sobriety to the matter.

Some may call you a boob for doing so, but your video is appreciated by those of us who are trying to stay abreast of these important developments.
I just had to get that off my chest.
We have to nipple these things in the bud.
Before it devolves into a tit-for-tat situation.
Some might knocker your efforts, but it is humor in a jug-ular vein.
