      Man Trades Baby Name for $100 Gas Card

      An Orlando man agreed to name his baby after two local radio hosts in exchange for a gift card worth $100 of gasoline, Reuters reports. The listener will collect the card in December, when his son is born, after producing a birth certificate. He's not the only American susceptible to offers of free gas these days: from brothels to churches, fuel has become a better lure than cash. More »

    • Gas Prices Screw Nev. Brothels

      Gas Prices Screw Nev. Brothels

      Here's one more casualty of soaring oil prices: Nevada brothels catering to lonely truckers are seeing business plummet. Sky-high diesel prices means that long-haul truckers have less discretionary income, so many brothels are offering promotions to give business a boost. At one establishment, customers get double what they pay for if they use a government stimulus check. More »

      Miami Cops Bust 'Brothel on Wheels'

      The world's oldest profession has long since gone online, but Miami police have charged six people with putting it on wheels, the Miami Herald reports. A rolling brothel, a huge limo-bus with a tractor-trailer cab, picked up three undercover cops Sunday morning, offering an all-you-can-drink ride for $40. Once aboard, an extra $125 would earn a trip to the curtained-off “VIP room," with a promise to "get your money worth." More »

      Campy Documentarians Focus on Fleiss

      The makers of such revelatory documentaries as Inside Deep Throat and The Eyes of Tammy Faye have a new film in the works, about Heidi Fleiss’ bid to open an all-male brothel in the Nevada desert, W reports. Fleiss, who had a falling out with directors Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato, said, “I was hoping it would be fun, but instead it was me getting mad.” More »

      Sex Trade Dying Out on Hamburg's 'Mile of Sin'

      Hamburg's Reeperbahn has been one of the world's most famous red light districts for as long as anyone can remember, but the "Mile of Sin's" flamboyant brothels are dying out, the Independent reports. Discos and cheap bars attracting binge-drinking teens are taking their place. The seedy street's old-timers lament the disappearance of live music since the days when the Beatles played nightly sets.

      A Brothel Manager's Guidebook

      There are important lessons to be gleaned from Eliot Spitzer’s shenanigans. Namely: how to effectively run a brothel for the well-to-do. Using cached pages from the now-defunct Emperors Club website, Josh Levin lays out a business plan in Slate. Keep out the riff-raff: 92% of the club’s clients were CEOs Peddle the best product: The ladies boasted detailed, degree-laden CVs Set fair prices: A three-diamond prostitute is less talented than a seven-diamond prostitute, but she’s also one-third the price More »

      Brothel Owner Backs Paul

      Ron Paul found himself on the respectable side of a brothel last week, when the Republican presidential hopeful earned the endorsement of the owner of Reno's Moonlite BunnyRanch. MSNBC anchor Tucker Carlson surprised Paul by engineering the nod, arriving in a limousine with Dennis Hof and two “celebrity prostitutes,” the Reno Gazette-Journal reports. More »

      Brothel Backs Italian Soccer Club

      Passion is an inherent part of soccer, but add in an escort service sponsoring an Italian soccer club, and you've got some local officials getting pretty hot. Trentino 1921 accepted 10,000 euros from Austrian escort agency Casa Bianca ("White House"), and now links to the service's website—after a screen warning that viewers must be at least 18 years old, Sky News reports.
