"Lawyers for some clubs threatened First Amendment lawsuits. Dancers, estimated at 5,000 or more, vowed to organize, register to vote and seek revenge at the polls."
Is it just me, or is that just plain funny?

It also allows grinding against a customer's leg, but no contact with a customer's feet.NO FEET!?!?!? That does it! No more Vegas for me!
To: Luis Gonzalez
Not that I want a lapdance (it's rather like having a steak prepared in front of you but being forbidden to eat it), but it does seem to me that this is rather akin to the the ridiculousness that the EU provides whenever it decides it, say, wants to tell us what curvature our bananas can be.
I'm talking about the fruit, mind you.
One wonders what prompted this. Did someone want a promotion to be "Inspector of Lap Dances"?

You know, I read that a few times and decided that whoever wrote that into the bill has some serious fetishes.

I want that job! You'll probably have to compete with Weird Bill for it. ;)

Reports of the demise of lap dancing in Las Vegas are greatly exaggerated.
Trust me on this one, kiddos.

I would have loved being in the commissioners meeting when they discussed the "No Feet Contact" rule. Wonder if they list any other body parts that are off-limits?

How they were going to ban it in a state where prostitution is legal is beyond me. The new rules are cheap publicity for the politicians in question; a cynical attempt to appear to be "tough on 'crime'." And as far as the new rules go, they're enforced only in the big resorts. The cabbies and the hotel doormen know the places where you can have lap dances (as well as other physical calisthenics otherwise illegal in Clark County) until judgement trump, and no one will say a word about it.
All it takes to find anything you want in Las Vegas is a few shekels in the right palms, and not all that many at that.

As Shostakovich put into one of his operas: "Life's a smoothly moving groove if you have only got the right connections."

I like Mark Twain's 1902 take on the subject just as much:
The low level which commercial morality has reached in America is deplorable. We have humble God fearing Christian men among us who will stoop to do things for a million dollars that they ought not to be willing to do for less than 2 millions.

And don't forget Twain's advice (in his
Theoretical and Practical Morals): As by the fires of experience, so by commission of crime, you learn real morals. Commit all the crimes, familiarize yourself with all sins, take them in rotation (there are only two or three thousand of them), stick to it, commit two or three every day, and by-and-by you will be proof against them. When you are through you will be proof against all sins and morally perfect. You will be vaccinated against every possible commission of them. This is the only way.

The story behind the story: One of the councilwomen caught her husband at one of the strip clubs getting a lap dance and is pissed off! Funny thing is she has been in trouble for ethics violations in the past. She was hitting up casinos for a frozen cocktail business. Her name is Yvonne Atkinson Gates.

I think the NHL was successfully sued for not allowing 18 year olds with talent a chance to earn a livelihood. If that's right and there are 18 year old girls who are particularly good at lap dancing, with or without breast contact, and with or without assistance from a customer's toes, then it seems unfair not to give them a chance to earn a living doing what they do so well.

You are correct. By the way if those idiots in Brussels have their way they will regulate the curvature of your bananna also. And no, not the fruit.

This stuff reminds of the story about the Puritans who sat up late at night worrying that somewhere people were having fun which they shouldn't be having (or some quote like that). At my age you couldn't get to walk across the street to experience this "entertainment", but why some people get their skivvies in a twist about it is beyond me.
More than thirty years ago "erotic" dancing and x-rated movies were common in my old hometown and I'm sure many others in the Midwest. Now they are almost totally absent in these parts. Let these stupid behaviors die a natural death by being ignored or segregated in obscurity rather working oneself up in a lather about them.
