AP: Red Light District Plans Open House
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands - There may be no such thing as a free lunch, but occasionally there's a cheap feast for the eyes.

Several topless bars, peep shows and sex show clubs in Amsterdam's famed "Red Light" prostitution district have declared an open house on Feb. 18, hoping to shore up their reputation with local politicians who are calling for a crackdown.

"You can come in, have a free drink, look around," said Bob de Maan, spokesman for the "Banana Bar," which is known for its live sex shows.

"People think that this is something dirty, but now — it's an open house. They can see for themselves."

3. Stay home and have meaningful
sex with someone you love.

Why should you care what others are doing?

Make your own show.

8. I completely agree with you PassingFair
It was just a joke I made besides Amsterdam is a dangerous city that should be avoided.

11. That's funny...
My first overseas trip was to London. We spent 10 days there and the first thing I wanted when I got home was a real breakfast. Yep I went to Denny's the next morning! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
