Strip-club operator runs for seat on school board

[deadparrot]

ST. LOUIS - The president and director of a Colorado-based adult entertainment company is running for the school board of a suburban St. Louis district, and already many residents are giving the candidacy a thumbs down.

"I wouldn't want that kind of guy running a school board," Jeremy Parks, 21, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "If he's that great of a guy, with good morals, he wouldn't be running strip clubs."

Micheal Ocello is president and director of VCG Holding Corp., based in Lakewood, Colo., a company that says on its Web site that its clubs feature "premium quality female performers" with "highest standards" for "appearance, attitude, demeanor, dress and personality."

The Web site says the company owns and operates a dozen adult entertainment nightclubs, featuring exotic dancers, in St. Louis, Denver, Indianapolis, Phoenix, Louisville, Ky., and Sauget, Ill.

5. Does he pay taxes? Does he have kids in school?

My only questions are, does he live in the school district? & What is his purpose for running?
I could not tell for sure from the article.

Can you imagine how much more enjoyable lunch might be served by a cute young hardbody swinging on a pole? All I ever got was some greasy, sweaty grandma with facial hair! Kinda kills your appetite!

7. The local LTTEs are hilarious.

"Do you really think if he's elected that they'll start teaching pole dancing in gym class? That career day will include a trip to the local club? That cheerleader uniforms will suddenly include g-strings?"
