Sloppy Seconds: The Million-Dollar Strip Club Buy

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

Do you want your kids playing with Pregnant Paper Dolls? We guess so long as it's not Jamie Lynn Pregnant Paper Dolls...

Lies and attacks usually help: McCain now trails Obama by a mere three points nationally. 

We'd say the woman who witnessed all of the following might actually win a case against her lawyer boss...

Paralegal Angela Robinson is suing renowned ambulance-chaser Richard Laminack for encouraging her to perform sexual acts on a witness, demanding sexual favors from employees, and trying to defraud Fen-Phen plaintiffs. [Business Sheet]

Instead of tying up the courts and expecting to buy an island with her settlement, Ms. Robinson is suing for a mere $55,000... mainly for wrongful termination.

Maybe they could've just waited for it to go out of business or be sold, since if the town gets a huge ovation for destroying it, no one must show up there after meetings, right?

Verne Troyer says his ex tossed him

Brad and Angelina signed a multimillion dollar deal for their baby snaps. 

Can you guess why a naked man may have been climbing down a chimney? 

And finally, the town of Livonia, Georgia has bought the Cafe Risque strip club for a whopping one million dollars. However, they neglected something in the process...

The town of Lavonia could have used nearly $1 million to pay off the bond fund for a water treatment plant upgrade. Instead, officials bought Cafe Risque, which they have long tried to shut down.

Lavonia's mayor got a standing ovation when he announced the deal at a meeting earlier this week. Crews took down the signs advertising it and burned them in a large bonfire at the strip club site, near a major highway.

Americans: clean and safe drinking water is unimportant, but my Lord, anyone who trades it in for God-given bodies is to be praised to the heavens. 

Florida businessman Jerry Sullivan opened Cafe Risque in 2001. The city went to court several times to close it, but Sullivan's lawyers argued successfully that nude dancing was a constitutionally protected form of expression.

Lavonia has since passed an ordinance outlawing adult entertainment businesses.
