No doubt this could be applied to men as well. I may have an open mind, but I find this article rather disturbing!

It is true. There was also a bit of an uproar when a UK job centre advertised vacancies for lap dancers.

An even more bizarre story appeared today about a bloke who got his john thomas stuck in a pipe. Ouch.

With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

Under Germany’s welfare reforms, any woman under 55 who has been out of work for more than a year can be forced to take an available job - including in the sex industry - or lose her unemployment benefit :eek: :cry: :sad: :redface: :vomit:

Just because it's legal doesn't mean it's moral and everyone wants to do it. This was one of the only options available to women 100 years ago and now it's apparently no better. So much for enlightenment.

It's just not right is it Diva. Women, equality and all that.





















However, having a think about those German frauleins being forced onto the game, while thinking about that recent post about the young German farmers calendar.... Right, I'm off to Berlin as well!

I don't mind the calendar. I thought it was clever.

I don't like that they other is a job and they threaten to take away her benefits if she refuses. Seriously wrong.

The real protests will start when men are told they have to be ho's in a gay brothel to qualify for welfare.

I'm wondering what the goose is thinking. Boy, I'd like to be that goose.
