Strip it Good

Jackson, Mississippi is known for a couple of things and those two things are uhhh....um.....

Well anyway, there is a strip club here that raised the hackles of local government when they erected a billboard declaring "Strippers love to climb our pole."  Got hand it to them, it was pretty catchy.  But then the city fathers (who are all a bunch of corrupt and stupid idiots who sound like a ghetto twitter feed when they talk) got some sort of injunction or something that forced Danny's to put a giant yellow "Censored" sign over the offensive tagline.  Which, in retrospect, was even more brilliant because if the 30 foot blond on the stripper pole didn't get your attention, the 30 foot yellow "censored" sign would.

Fast forward a year and Danny's is back in the news.  Since this website is dedicated to news about such things, this intrepid reported furiously investigated the incident by driving down to the billboard and taking a picture.  I should get a Pulitzer.




Danny's is being sued by some black dancers who are alleging discrimination of some description and well, that's about it.  Not that I'm an expert on these matters, but I always thought these girls worked as independent contractors and aren't actually employed by the club in which they dance.

I don't know, but I bet the arbitration meetings about this with the EEOC is probably going to make Jerry Springer look like Sesame Street.
