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.

Their cheerleaders are the most popular at the ball park.

"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..."

Um.. What? What are they polishing again?

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.

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

[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."

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 !

This is not something new. Check your psychology books. I think it is called something like, "The Lady McBeth Syndrome" (Out damn spot!!!) Years ago when I was a social worker in N.Y., the local prostitutes were always "big givers" at Christmas to programs for children.

Some "like the cheerleaders", eh?
