Get this one… The great city of Memphis (where I had less than stellar success finding bottoms to fuck earlier this year<\/a>) has just passed a law<\/a> that requires everyone<\/span> working in adult businesses to be licensed at a cost of about $198 the first year and $113 every year after that. The licensing process includes a criminal background check. So if you’ve ever been arrested for prostitution, you won’t be allowed to be a stripper – which is funny ’cause some might see prostitution as a job requirement for strippers. And if you’ve ever been arrested for “distribution of obscene materials” you can’t even work as a cashier in an adult video store. Isn’t the point of video stores to distribute obscene materials? The list goes on and on and the implications are pretty funny…<\/p>\n

But the other thing about the law is that it creates a bit of a scarlet letter – permanently branding anyone in the sex industry with a public record of the job they had to take to support themselves and their kids. That’s just wrong – we’re headed into some iffy economic times and some mothers (who aren’t prostitutes) are going to become strippers to support their kids, and their stripping will now follow them around forever…<\/p>\n

The problem is, I’d guess they’ll get away with it just like Giuliani got rid of sex shops through stricter zoning.<\/p>\n

But the ultimate irony is this is happening in the same state where 40 year old, married<\/span>, Tennessee Highway Patrolman James Randy Moss got a slap on the wrist (4 years probation, and loss of his job) for accepting a blowjob from porn star Barbie Cummings<\/a> when he pulled her over for going 20 miles over the speed limit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
