      <![CDATA[Dan, the petition is sponsored by LabFitness in Drogheda, County Louth, Ireland, which is like 90% Roman Catholic. Just because a local news channel in Utah reports on a pole dancing class and mentions a petition in the same story doesn't mean the Mormons are behind it. I know you're trying to be snarky and funny, but it's a wee bit hypocritical to launch a tirade against Marlee whats-her-name, and then basically do the same thing.<br />
<br />
And just because of your post, I signed their petition.

Here's an example of one such. (She is the cousin of Jenny, an addict featured on "Intervention" not long ago, BTW, and who is mentioned in the blog.)<br />
<br />
This combo of self-righteous Mormon "modesty" (which they're supposed to espouse) and pole dancing makes my head want to explode like a fembot's.

I'm a professional circus artist. This is essentially watered down Chinese pole.<br />

Just because you do something that is physically demanding and requires practice doesn't mean it gets to be an Olympic sport.

      <![CDATA[if it's a sport, then it's not a sin to go watch the strippers... er... "compete."<br />
<br />
the Mormon church is all about whatever's good for the dudes in charge. gay marriage is bad because it both provides alternatives for all those men left in the cold when the fundamentalists hog all the women and it enables women to have entirely man-free marriages.<br />
<br />
also i guess if LDS Mormons aren't allowed their alternative marriages, they don't want anyone else to be either.

      <![CDATA[@6 That's what Dan does best.<br />
<br />
One Mormon woman takes a pole dancing class? The Mormon church endorses stripping!<br />
<br />
I know it's hard to believe, Dan, but all Mormons aren't evil. It's so easy to target entire social groups/religions/races.
