PROSTITUTES IN Copenhagen, who were anticipating a bumper trade during the UN climate summit, have reacted angrily to an official attempt to blacklist them.

The city’s mayor, Ritt Bjeregaard, who is a former EU environment commissioner, has circulated postcards to the city’s 150-plus hotels urging them to advise guests not to patronise prostitutes during their stay. “Be sustainable – don’t buy sex” was the message.

Now, the Sex Workers Interest Group has hit back by saying that its members, all of whom operate legally, would offer free sex to any participant in the conference, on production of the offending postcard and their “COP 15” badge.

10. If they are free, are they hookers?

:silly:

[TorchTheWitch]

13. obviously not

Giving away sex is just sex. Prostitution is sex for money.

In any case, it's a really stupid idea. Once you give it away for free or for cheap customers will always expect that to be so. The first rule of any prostitute is never lower the price.

11. Is that a Drive-Thru?

14. Ironically, they aren't even hookers if they give it away free
