Now, this is the way to get stuff done.

First prostitutes in Spain had to fend off "bar code pimps" imprinting ownership tattoos on them. Now top-shelf sex workers are organizing their own "Occupy CTBA," Madrid's version of Wall Street, and denying sex to the nation's bankers until they start offering loans to financially burdened families. Financial professionals have tried to circumvent the sexy-time stonewalling by posing as architects and engineers, but the ladies are onto them, claiming they'll continue their indefinite fiscal version of "Lysistrata" until bankers "fulfill their responsibility to society." @AlexDunnin tweets, "This is how to fight for financial sector reform and win." The ladies think they're on the right track, at any rate, with one worker stating, "We don't think they can withstand much more."
Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    I love it.

    Almost as much as I loved it when the strippers protested outside the church (after a church led a protest of the strip club).
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    I think prostitution should be legalized here in the US, and I guess I admire their determination and the entertaining aspect of the story, but the issue itself - giving loans to financially-burdened folks? That just doesn't make sense to me.

    (sidenote...bar code tattoos? the hell? seriously fucked up)
