Danish Prostitutes Offer Free Sex to Climate Conference Delegates

[undeterred]

Friday, December 04, 2009

Things are getting hot and heavy in Copenhagen ahead of the city's massive climate change conference. The city's mayor warned hotels against patronizing Danish prostitutes during the upcoming U.N. summit — but the Copenhagen hookers are reportedly striking back by offering free sex to anyone who ignores the warnings.

Mayor Ritt Bjerregaard sent postcards to 160 Copenhagen hotels, urging guests and delegates to refrain from buying sex, Spiegel Online reported.

The city's prostitutes have retaliated by offering free sex to anyone who brings one of the cards to an assignation. The response is being organized by the Sex Workers Interest Group (SIO), which says the mayor's move is "sheer discrimination."

"Ritt Bjerregaard is abusing her position as Lord Mayor in using her power to prevent us carrying out our perfectly legal job," SIO Spokeswoman Susanne Moller told the Danish Web site Avisen.dk. "I don't understand how she can be allowed to contact people in this way," .

2. Now that's a pretty good deal!

And saves on buying extra drinks in the hotel lobby bar.

3. 160 postcards X Hooker Rate = Lost revenue.

Thanks Mayor! Way to suck the money out of the local economy. No pun intended.

5. I'd lay odds that they will 'lobby' for green climate legislation

It's actually a rather clever idea.

7. Well, look forward to a warming of some kind. May not be "global" but a "warming" just the same.

In fact, it might just get downright hot in Copenhagen! ;)

What's Danish for hubba-hubba?

[Blue_Tires]

20. just make sure the 'localized warming' doesn't become a 'burning sensation' 3 days later

[KansDem]

24. ouch!

Good advice...

Be sure to bring "Comdomhagens!"

[BeFree]

8. Now That's Hot!

[monmouth]

9. HA! That Al Gore is one smart cookie...

[FarCenter]

11. It's a ruse -- they are after the delegates' precious bodily fluids

[Blue_Tires]

19. you just have to remember to deny them your 'essence'

[LeftHander]

12. Local warming....nt

[Jamastiene]

13. Now, I want to be a delegate.

:evilgrin:

[redqueen]

14. I wonder why the council and mayor took this action. (nt)

[undeterred]

15. Maybe because all eyes will be on Copenhagen

and prostitution is not the thing they want to be known for?

[redqueen]

16. But it's legal there, isn't it?

It just doesn't seem to make sense...

[undeterred]

17. The story implies that it is legal in Denmark

and prostitutes and conventions often go together.

[Dogtown]

21. OOPS!

They're a little late.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

18. Mark Sanford and Eliot Spitzer...

...are fighting over the aisle seat on the next flight over.

[bullwinkle428]

22. Tiger Woods : "How do I become a Climate Conference Delegate?"

Try the veal, everybody! Remember, there's a two-drink minimum!

[EOTE]

23. There ain't nothing like a Dane!

Nothing in the world.

[spanone]

25. now there's a chamber of commerce at work

[undeterred]

29. Actually its the sex workers themselves (union?) promoting it.

The mayor is against them.

[Odin2005]

26. That is FUCKING brilliant!

:D

[undeterred]

27. Maybe the Bush Administration would not have skipped the climate conferences

during his terms if these services were available to him for free. :shrug:

[BreweryYardRat]

28. When it comes to global warming...

...the Danes know how to make people give a fuck.
