Delegates to the Copenhagen Climate Summit Can Get Free Sex With A Prostitute
By Ben ReiningaDecember 7th, 2009, 5:00 pmComments (5)Every once in a while, I come across the type of story that makes me think, "I hope Glenn Beck reads this for the first time after stubbing his toe, before his first cup of coffee, because he might just explode, literally, and it'd be a shame not to have the footage." This is one of those stories:
The delegates going to the climate change summit (COP15) in Copenhagen will have, besides the usual wining and dining, another, unusual perk: each summit-goer is entitled to free sex with a city prostitute as long as they show their COP15 badge.
Apparently, after a different convention last year, the (legal) sex industry in Copenhagen reported a nice boost in sales, presumably from all the horny diplomats. So this time around, a COP15 summit leader sent postcards to attendees saying, "Be sustainable. Don't buy sex," in a different attempt to "reduce emissions" (oh, the puns). And the sex workers union - in protest - decided that those very postcards are worth a free roll-in-the-hay.
Which just makes me think so many things. I love Europe, firstly. And secondly, the Danes are dealing with protesting prostitutes and 'clip 'n carry' casual sex, and we're freaking out about Front-hugs! My God does that makes us seem so lame by comparison. Though the whole "coupon" aspect of it is a bit Target-y for me.
But back to Glenn Beck: that's right, Glen. A bunch of Europeans (face turns red) are going to sit around talking about climate change (veins bulge) and then go have free sex (face turns purple) with prostitutes (eyes loll) which is LEGAL AND CONDONED by their gay-loving, tree-hugging POLITBOROS (smoke billows from ears). Oh, and the president is still black. (Bang!).

Haha. If Glenn Beck exploded, it would turn out that he was just a bunch of hot gas - all of which would float up into the atmosphere and aggravate the global warming problem! Which somehow seems like a fitting death for that old bastard.
The sex workers union is brilliant.
Love this story and the writer's voice.
Um, I'd just like to point out that the photo on this article is from the Netherlands, not Denmark. While prostitution is legal in Denmark, the women don't stand around in red-neon lighted windows like the Dutch working girls.
You'd better tip well if you bring a coupon to a prostitute.
Now you say something
