Feeling the Pinch

The Thursday mail drop at 8:30am usually contains the Copenhagen Post, which is the Danish news in English. There are some good articles; many are funny; and several get the 'huh?' award. This week, the front page, above the fold, article was Prostitutes feeling economic pinch.

It is just so sad to read that many of the prostitutes now have to resort to a 'side job' and many of the clients aren't paying for luxury 'extras.' (sarcasm).

I don't know if I should be comforted that people are cutting back on paid sexual pleasures for, say, ummm food or if I should feel bad that these poor ladies now have to work two 'jobs' to keep up their lifestyle. hmmmm.

  1. ok, I may have to "steal" this link and make a blog about this.... I have been wanting to post about how prostitution is legal as long as they pay their tax... this just adds the icing to the cake!

  2. Any time. The CP makes for interesting reading. This story was just too funny. Did I ever tell you about my first experience in Copenhagen...arriving at 7am on a Saturday and walking down Stroget?
