"Prostitues take to the streets" 


Fighting for their right to get freaky in 2004:
ATHENS, Greece -- Athens' prostitutes have marched in the streets, slept on sidewalks in protest and even sued local authorities.


But it seems no amount of opposition will stop Athens from cracking down on the sex trade before the 2004 Olympics.


The city's municipal council is pushing to enforce a widely ignored 1999 law that sharply regulates prostitution, which is legal in Greece only in government-approved brothels.

So the prostitutes are unhappy because the government is shutting down bordello's that aren't up to code, thus forcing them to peddle their wares on the street? So why aren't the angry that their work places aren't being maintained? And what kind of regulation aren't these bordellos living up to? Do the clocks run too fast, or are the sheets not changed often enough? Do they not have handicap access? I mean, it's a Bordello for crying out loud! (Then again, maybe thats the problem. It'd be really, uh, distribuing, to be able to hear that "business activity" from the street. There needs to be a surchage for extra insulation and soundproof windows.) My question still remains, how do you regulate out the disgusting factor?

You can't beat the Greeks when it comes to preserving the integrity of their children, thou shall not pay for nookie within "660 feet of churches, schools and youth centers and other civic institutions."
