Tourist Entrapment

posted by on September 17 at 10:47 AM

The toilet where Larry Craig got busted for soliciting sex is now a tourist attraction. The BBC today says

The Minneapolis airport toilet where US senator Larry Craig was arrested for allegedly soliciting gay sex is now attracting tourists, say airport staff. “People are taking pictures,” Karen Evans, an information officer at Minneapolis-St Paul international airport, told Associated Press.

Mr Craig was arrested on 11 June by an undercover airport police officer.

Now it seems that tourists passing through the airport cannot resist the temptation to have a look at the scene.

But regular Slog readers already knew that the toilet was a tourist attraction.

I read that on BBC earlier, that's fucking hilarious. I bet everyone that goes is running their fingers under the stall and sitting with a wide stance just for a laugh.

why did the bbc write "allegedly"? he fucking plead guilty. i know he's being all stupid about it, but technically there isn't any question to the allegations.

the "allegedly" goes with "soliciting gay sex". he pled guilty to a "lesser" charge.

Geez, Dan, get a spell checker. Honestly! It shows disrespect for your readers & your publication to not even proof-read your post before you publish the fucker.

As a reader, there are a lot of things that attract me to Slog, but a craving for impeccable spell-checking is not among them.
