Drug dealers use the same logic to defend their neighborhood empires.

As they say in the Navy, this is no $h*t! Raleigh's premier "gentlemen's" club (lol!), "Thee Doll House" ran radio ads during the Christmas holidays. If you brought a new, unwrapped toy on a certain night, you'd get free admission.

What did they call their charity drive?

Why, "Toys for Ta-Tas", of course.

I'm not kidding.

a little league baseball team sponsored by exotic dancers

Their cheerleaders are the most popular at the ball park.

"Toys for Ta-Tas"

Get outta here! LOL!

[PBRSTREETGANG]

"Whether you're in the ball-bearing business or the adult entertainment club business, you've got a responsibility to give back to the community...

Shouldn't he have said, "Whether you're in the ball-bearing business or the boob-baring business..."

[wimpycat]

I busted out laughing in the car when I heard it.

"Toys for Ta-Tas"

I'm sure the USMC wasn't p.o.'ed or offended, even though it is tasteless, but it really is quite funny.

[Phantom Lord]

Hey now, don't be picking on Thee Doll House! Lots of fine upstanding people work there. Including friends of mine.

But in my opinion, the strip bars here suck. I much prefer the Canadian Ballet!

[Destructor]

Um.. What? What are they polishing again?

[wimpycat]

"Thee Doll House", LOL! Somebody tried to tell me how swanky it was in there (and I've been to another branch of Vinnie's Steakhouse and it's pretty good), but I told him, "I don't care if it has valet parking and a nice restaurant inside. You can dress it up all you want and call it a 'Gentlemen's Club' all you want, but as my Daddy says, it still ain't nothing but a damn titty bar."

Just so you'll know, I don't spit on those places or look down on the people who work there like some people do, and I didn't bat an eyelash when my husband went to a stag party at the "Gold Club: The Gentlemen's Club of the Millenium" (lol!) in Cary, but whenever people try to use euphemisms I remind them that it's still a titty bar. Or a strip joint with valet parking.

[Phantom Lord]

As far as Thee Doll House goes, yes, it is a titty bar. But compared to many of the ones I have been too it is far nicer than most. It is very clean and "high class" if you will in regardes to its decorations, design, and atmosphere.

I have seen some that make a backwood biker bar look classy.

BUMP for an interesting read.

Phillip Morris did the same thing, only after they gave $105m to charity, they spent $115m to tell everyone that they gave $105m to charity.

[MrLeRoy]

Drug dealers use the same logic to defend their neighborhood empires.

What logic is that?

[MrLeRoy]

"He cited increased crime,

Do strip clubs create crime or just relocate it?

decreased property values,

Nobody has a "right" to stable property values. Selling a house in a white neighborhood to a black family may decrease the market value of neighboring homes; should it therefore be illegal to sell to a black family?

health hazards

I just plain disbelieve that---titties are health hazards?

and urban blight

Do strip clubs create urban blight or just relocate it?

as secondary effects of strip clubs."

[WaveThatFlag]

It brings tears to my eyes to hear lapdancers giving to charity. They do so much already.

[goldstategop]

Hey don't give Tony Soprano and his Badda Badda Bing business any ideas of how to get respectable. :)

[Movemout]

Been there, done that! I think if they can contribute something then they should. These places have been around forever and they are not going away. A new fire engine is no little thing. If it saves a kid in a burning house then good on them !
