Comments on Handjobs and Strippers: Your Tax Dollars At Work

This is what happens when you restrict this shit--look at Portland, they have hundreds of AWESOME strip clubs! No one gives a fuck down there....thats it im moving...

Is it so bad that all I want are some tits shaking in front of my face while I enjoy a nice cold beer?

Maybe the WSLCB could open up a chain of titty bars in their liquor stores. Shut at 7, all day Sunday, too, just like God intended.

Good riddance to the Colacurcios. Please clearly explain why The Stranger is depending them. Do you think strip clubs are impossible without two bit mobsters?

BOREDOM?!?!? You really think we're gonna believe the idea that officers chose not to fully document their night's work cuz they were bored? Boy, I'd love if that same excuse was used in a lackadaisical writeup of an officer shooting someone. "Yawn, ya know? These things happen so often, man. You know, if I was the chief, I'd put me in charge of strip club protocol. THAT'S some action."

#4 - kinda agree.

This could just as easily be a case of the fed's "it's hard to pin them for what they're really up to, so we'll get'em for this."

@4: maybe because they ARE two-bit, and the city keeps trying to make them out to be the Sopranos, and because it's the stupid city regulations that keep the Colacurcios in control.

What @4 said. (Elenchos is on a roll today.) You don't have to be a sex-hating Puritan nutjob to find this whole affair a little slimy.

Elenchos @4:

"Good riddance to the Colacurcios. Please clearly explain why The Stranger is depending them."

Because Frank C. is 90, and Depends come in handy.

First - the report is 100 pages long, detailing every single interaction with dancers at 4 clubs over 3 years WOULD be boring.

Second - I'm all for legalizing prostitution, but when you read the testimonies by some of the dancers, you see clearly that many of these women are forced or pressured into it by the "rent" fee. It's practically serfdom. In fact, it's a damn good example of why it should be legal -- so shit like this doesn't happen.

Good ol' Seattle - such archaic stripping regulations that they practically force women into prostitution in order to make any money.

Even though I want there to be lots of legal, well-regulated (not ridiculously overconstrained as they are currently) strip clubs around, I have zero problem with the feds shutting down the Colacurcios.

portland is laughing at us.

if you figure dinner & drinks into the equation, it costs me more than $50 to get a handjob at home. i can't afford anal.

I won't say what I think because you censor SLOG.

@13: That's because you're a fucking troll, and fucking trolls get righteously bitch-slapped down like they damned well deserve. Fuck off.

@14: And you are such a darling. Light as air and sweet as sugar.
