Pole Dancing For America

The longest-running feud in adult entertainment is between feminists who believe that prostitution, stripping and porn degrades women and keeps them subjugated to the male-dominated hierarchy ... and the other feminists who believe that taking control of your sexual agency is emotionally and financially empowering. (Everyone else just wants to see boobies.) You can probably figure out which side of the line uber-American Stephen Colbert is on after watching this salute to a true hero of the movement: pole dance instructor Johnna Mink. We realize this has been floating around the web for a week now, but we believe that when a heartwarming story like this comes along, you should run it up as many poles as you can and see who salutes.
