Assorted Peccadilloes

Seeing Mike is pretty much out of action and unable to post his usual flow of news about wicked women, I thought I might put up a few news items about assorted bad behavior

Germany needs Eliot Spitzer: "The oldest bordello in Hamburg's red-light district is shutting down for lack of business, according to newspaper reports published Friday. The family-run Hotel Luxor, established in 1948, is being sold to an investor and will close down for good next month, madam Waltraud Mehrer said, according to the Hamburg Morgenpost and Bild newspapers. She blamed the decline in business on easily available Internet porn, the rise of call-girl services, and "noisy discos and dance clubs" on the same street as her business, the newspapers reported. "You can't make any big money selling sex in St. Pauli any more," she was quoted as saying, referring to the area that includes the red-light district."




Postman nicked in knickers: "A postman who was suspected of stealing a package of racy women's lingerie from the mail was strip-searched - and caught wearing it. British postal worker Matthew Furness, 35, was in a g-string from the $120 Bravissimo undies set. Suspicious bosses had put the underwear in his van after an opened package was found in it. Furness, of Weymouth, Dorset, will be sentenced in April after admitting theft before the town's magistrates."


This is sure to offend the goat lovers: "The ban was two years in the making, but the Dutch parliament has finally decided to outlaw bestiality and animal pornography. The Dutch parliament voted unanimously Thursday to ban sex with animals and pornography depicting bestiality. Anyone breaking the law now risks being sent to jail for up to six months. Until now, Dutch law had only forbidden bestiality in cases where animal suffering was involved. By passing the ban, the Netherlands joins the ranks of 80 countries where animal pornography is explicity forbidden, Harm Evert Waalkens, the member of parliament who proposed the law, told the Associated Press. "The Netherlands has been a magnet for perversities -- and we want to stop that," Waalkens said, adding that pornographers had lobbied fiercely against a ban."
