Welsh to ban strippers in limousines

Strippers and pole dancers should be banned from performing in stretch limousines, according to a British report.

Councillors from the mountainous Welsh county of Gwynedd said many limousine hire companies were providing the erotic dancers as entertainment for clients, but in-car striptease was an "inappropriate" activity.

"Lately, stretch limousines have been used more and more," said the report, released on Tuesday.

"Some operators are providing entertainment to clients within the vehicle which may involve inappropriate activities such as lap dancing, giving rise to concerns about indecency."

The new proposals recommend a blanket ban on striptease, lap dancing, pole dancing and "any other activity or performance of a like kind".

True. And Hillarycare would have made it a crime to pay a doctor for services (putting him/her on par with a prostitute).

When I was a mean little brat, I would sneak upstairs
to the balcony, where couples would neck.
I sometimes would carry a can of vegitable soup, open
it and lean over the balcony rail and empty the can,
while making gagging sounds.
Lucky I wasn't cought.

I disagree - there are laws against adultery, sodomy, etc. in many districts. The laws are just not enforced. Not saying right or wrong, just saying.

Those laws are most likely unconstitutional, which explains why they are not enforced.

SCOTUS decisions at this point basically make any consensual adult sexual activity legal. Prostitution is the last aspect of human sexual relations that the government is involved in.

it's easier to have sex in a limo? I'm sure that's what they mean, as opposed to just looking in a regular joint.

I think it's about revenue. It makes it harder for the local tax authority to take their cut.

LOL!!!! that's some legacy

California has recently prosecuted a case of adult incest between adopted or half-brother and sister (I can't recall). The male was the younger of the 2 and he got the girl pregnant. The male was the one facing charges.

There are still some sex crimes but I do not understand how constitutionally. I guess that the homosexual activists' lawyers wanted to supress the slippery slope a few years so the rest of the sexual minorities will just have to tough it out a bit longer.

you're right

Forgot about incest. We ban incest due to the "ickiness" factor, I guess. It's interesting- people are prevented from having sex with one another solely based on the circumstances of their birth.

We ban incest due to the "ickiness" factor, I guess

The original justification for the incest ban did have a rational basis, though, because of the effect on the gene pool. In cases of adopted relatives, though, it's a non-issue.

BTW there's actually a biological basis for the "ickiness" factor. Apparently there are pheremones that repel us from immediate family members.

Reminds me of this old joke.

Two tourists were driving through Wales. As they were pproaching Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch they started arguing about the pronunciation of the town's name. They argued back and forth until they stopped for lunch. As they stood at the counter, one tourist asked the blonde employee, "Before we order, could you please settle an argument for us? Would you please pronounce where we are... very slowly?"

The girl leaned over the counter and said, "Burrrrrrrr, gerrrrrrr, Kiiiiing."

The "ickiness factor" as you call it is due to the fact that sex between siblings completely destroys the natural balance of a family. Young men are young men, and they will sleep with anyone or anything they can get their grubby mitts on, except for immediate family members. This makes it somewhat possible to care and feed for young men without having to just take them out back and shoot 'em when they reach the age of 14. Absolute, universal revulsion over incest is one of the foundational building blocks of society.

That's a funny picture. I've never seen that before. I've always had a fondness for telling people about it since I passed through there a few years ago. I think it's hilarious.

Most people just refer to it as Llanfair PG. I'm convinced there is no non-Welsh who could properly pronounce it. The pronounciation of Welsh consonants does not correspond with the English, so even if you think you can stumble through it, you'll pronounce it wrong.

I worked at Laura Ashley for six months and lived on a local farmhouse. Nice people. Mind you when it comes to their language I'm from the Blackadder school of thought. :-)

Baldrick: He is the Prince of Wales.
Blackadder: Have you ever been to Wales, Baldrick?
Baldrick: No, but I've often thought I'd like to.
Blackadder: Well, don't. It's a ghastly place. Huge gangs of tough, sinewy men roam the valleys, terrifying people with their close-harmony singing. You need half a pint of phlegm in your throat just to pronounce the place names. Never ask for directions in Wales, Baldrick. You'll be washing spit out of your hair for a fortnight.

I expected the article to say limo drivers were running off the road because they were watching the rear view!
