Since when do people prefer political speeches to bathtub shows? The solution is simple, however—next week's tech convention will set things right! Nerds to the rescue! (denverpost.com)

]]> http://fleshbot.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=5039294&view=rss&microfeed=true A Manhattan strip club owner is "shocked" to learn that his VIP rooms might have been used for more than just lap dances and claims (from the jail cell where he is being held on prostitution charges) that he runs one of the "cleanest" clubs in town. Sounds convincing—until you hear from an old friend who used to work for him. That's not quite how Baby Sinead remembers it.... (nydailynews.com + babysinead.com)

The moral of the story? Ask about getting your unemployment checks in stacks of singles. (tbo.com; thumb via lust-hero.net, via Ask Jolene)

Which is fine as far as we're concerned: we're all for helping victims, but when that five bucks could also mean one more surreptitious grope while we're shoving a bill down someone's g-string we totally have to draw the line somewhere. Times are tough enough these days for us too, you know? (avn.com)

Because nothing helps soothe the pain of weak monetary policy like a nice lap dance. (bloomberg.com, via guanabee.com)

]]> http://fleshbot.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=369103&view=rss&microfeed=true The strip club steak dinner special is such a time-honored "manly man" tradition, that it never really seemed necessary to create something like a vegan strip club. Plus, no one really goes to those places to eat. But one hardcore vegan business owner has made that dream a reality at the Casa Diablo in Oregon, the world's animal-free strip joint. ("The only meat is on the pole!") The local news media could not be more thrilled, since it gives bored beat reporters the perfect opportunity to create an audition tape to be the next "Daily Show" correspondent. We just can't decide what's funnier: The stone-faced anchorman warning viewers to stay away from the upcoming objectionable content or his co-workers milking that salacious content for cheap ratings and cheaper jokes? We're going to head over to Burger King and chew on it some more.
