BOYCOTT SAN FRANCISCO

  • SAN FRANCISCO ADOPTING ‘SAN FRANCISCO VALUES’: “SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A measure that aims to keep prostitutes from facing criminal charges has qualified for the November ballot in San Francisco … The Erotic Service Providers Union recently gathered the 12,000 signatures necessary to put the measure on the ballot.” Surely this is part of the Gay Agenda.

    SF Sex Workers are the best by far. It’s about time!

    other than the whole butt sex part, I am in favor of the Gay Agenda. YAAAAAYYY Whores!!

    When the sun turns into a red giant and swallows the earth, it’s all going to be the fault of San Francisco legalizing depraved behavior. So what if it’s not going to happen for four billion years? Baby Jesus may be slow to anger, but his wrath is terrible.

  5. Goddammit, will there never be an end to the competitors of GHOPAC?

    When it comes to the unionization of prostitutes, everbody wants a part of the trick.

    shortsshortsshorts: You whore.

    What should we call the prostitution lobbying machine? Big Pussy? No, that was a Sopranos character.

    TGY: UNION WHORE HOUSE:

    A guy walks up to a woman on the street and asks where he can find a union whore house. The woman points him in the right direction.

    He walks into the whore house and asks the Madame “who makes more here, the girls or the house.” The madame replies “why, the girls of course.”

    The man was pleased to see that it was a real union whore house. He points to a young blond behind the madame and says “great, Ill take her.”

    The madame quickly responds, “you cant take her, you get the one over there.”
    The woman the madame was pointing at was an old hag, probably in her 50’s, and fat as hell.

    The man says “but I don’t want that one over there!” and the Madame quickly responds

    “You have to take her, she’s got seniority.”

    OHHHHH…..

    Prostitution should be legal–really. A number of people have been saying this for years. No satire, no joke, no snark. Prostitution should be legal. Just put a ton of very serious health, legal, inspection, licensing and regulation rules on the profession, and legalize and regulate it. Including taxes. Some observers feel the health risks, the criminal risks, the insane waste of time and money wasted by cops on arresting people for having consensual sex, and myriad other factors that are nothing but literal wastes of time and money will all be lessened or even eliminated. And every single adult on this planet has prostituted themselves in one way or another to have sex, and that’s reality.

    To vote on this measure, one must take the tool firmly in one’s hand and push the chad right through the hole.

  11. magic titty says at 5:15 pm, July 21st, 2008

    This won’t pass. 8000 of the signatures were left by a suspicious character known only as “The Jizz”

    I’m sure you are all aware of the ballot measure to rename the sewage treatment plant to the “George W. Bush Sewage Treatment Plant.” Now we have a pro-whore measure to vote on as well.

    Best. Ballot. Ever.

    thefrontpage: But what about the children? Won’t somebody think of the children??

  14. Yeah, baby! I even like the name: Erotic Service Providers Union. I’d like to picket in front of their local.

  15. shortsshortsshorts says at 5:27 pm, July 21st, 2008

    kudzu: The things one could do with those picket signs.

    *IMPURE THOUGH*
    I will now say 10 hail marys…
    wait… naked Mary. HAWT
    *IMPURE THOUGHT*

    I live in SF
    *IMPURE THOUGHT*

    It’s very difficult to live here.

  16. Spence says at 5:32 pm, July 21st, 2008

    It’s certainly on my gay agenda.

  17. KevoTron says at 5:34 pm, July 21st, 2008

    mookworthjwilson: “thinking of the children” in regards to sex/porn/prostitution get’s you five to ten in a federal pen.

  18. Aurelio says at 6:48 pm, July 21st, 2008

    Seven whore diamonds for the ESPU!

  19. thefrontpage says at 7:12 pm, July 21st, 2008

    The children can grow up happy, knowing that in a tanked economy, there’s an entirely new and fun profession waiting for them!!!

  20. thefrontpage says at 7:15 pm, July 21st, 2008

    When they turn 21 years old, that is, and only 21 and older–and if it is ever legalized, like it is in some counties in Nevada and in some foreign countries. Geez, dirty minds out there!

  21. FreshCliches says at 8:05 pm, July 21st, 2008

    How many of these union workers do piece work (as opposed to pipe fitters) in their apprenticeship?

  22. Guppy06 says at 8:23 pm, July 21st, 2008

    thefrontpage: Ehhh… they can test the prostitutes for STDs and such, but they’ll never test the johns.

  23. regisgoat says at 4:45 am, July 22nd, 2008

    Look for the Union Label…this will be great for SF’s economy and I’m all for it. It makes you wonder, though, since legal sex work tends to send the prices downward. Will the money that the ladies formerly had to spend on lawyers and bail bondsman make up the difference?

  24. BobLoblawLawBlog says at 5:06 am, July 22nd, 2008

    Paying my dues to the Erotic Service Providers Union leaders over the years has been exhausting, but much more fun than writing a check…
