U.S. brothel offers free sex to returning troops

Talk about what you can do for your country! -- In an unusual act of patriotism, a Nevada brothel is offering free sex to troops returning from the U.S.-Iraq (news - web sites) war.
The Moonlite BunnyRanch in Nevada, a legal brothel, also plans to extend 50 percent discounts on sex to the military for the next few weeks, proprietor Dennis Hof told Reuters in a telephone interview on Tuesday.
Hof hit on his unique gesture for honoring U.S. troops when BunnyRanch star and former Playboy magazine centerfold Sunset Thomas was flooded with letters from the front lines.
"We were receiving about 20 letters a day," Hof said. "We thought, when these guys are done we'll do something special for them."
The first 50 servicemen and women through the door will receive a sexy knockoff of their military-issued "TA-50" kits of personal hygiene items. Instead of toothbrushes and soap, Hof's kits contain condoms, lubricant, an adult magazine and a certificate for free sex.
Thirteen men and three women in uniform have shown up so far to claim their gifts. All told, the free and discounted sex will cost Hof about $50,000 (31,000 pounds) -- a worthy sacrifice, he said.
"We want to feel patriotic and feel we are doing something for our servicemen," he said. "If we owned a Dairy Queen we would be giving away free ice cream, but ... we own the sex capital of the world. What better way is there to give back?"

No, you can't call them hookers anymore. It's not PC.
They are: "women of negotiable virtue".

"I want pics. Where are the pics?Don't expect the "A" List recruits. The "vollunteers" will be high-mileage crones who are missing a few teeth, smoke excessively, and have to shoo-away clouds of teeny-tiny UFOs.

When I was stationed at MCRD San Diego one of the civilian workers on the base was the sister-in-law of Joe Conforte, who I believe was the founder of the Mustang Ranch. She kept trying to get me to pay a visit. I never made it there, though. There was plenty to keep me busy in San Diego....

I think "sex worker" is the favored phrase among the feminazis and their fellow travelers.

They asked one soldier if he wanted the brothel closed immeidately because they're immoral and he urged more time for thought. Actually the way he put it was. "Let's not close it now. I'd like to stick it out for another year."

Pics? Well, here's one that I hope doesn't get me banned (everything's covered).

Interesting story. I'm sure the Islamists are having conniptions about it.
Me, I never understood laws about prostitution. I mean, why is it illegal for a woman to sell something that she can legally give away for free?
Sounds funny, but it's not...

former Playboy magazine centerfold Sunset Thomas Ahhh, the glamorous life of your typical former Playboy Centerfold. No wonder they all dreamed of being in Playboy "ever since they were little girls." Through our magazine you too can aspire to someday be a dicount hooker on the downside of life...

I mean, why is it illegal for a woman to sell something that she can legally give away for free? I guess people want diseased prostitutes on neighborhood streetcorners, rather than health department certified ones in zoned brothels.
After all, that's all that making prostitution illegal gets them, so that's what I assume they want.

Go to Vegas sometime. Because of the relaxed morality of legalized prostitution, there are hookers everywhere. And every girl has a price. That is the inevitible outcome.

ROTFLMCO, I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Go to surrounding counties where its legal, and presto, they're all in brothels.
Oh and the 'relaxed morality' theory has this one flaw: there are prostitutes in almost every major and mid sized city on Earth.
