Danish Prostitutes Offer Free Climate Summit Sex

Copenhagen's Mayor Ritt Bjerregaard thought sending postcards to hotels warning summit guests to stay away from Danish sex workers during the upcoming conference was a good idea. What he didn't know is that hell hath no marketing scheme like a prostitute scorned. The Sex Workers Interest Group has now offered free sex to anyone producing one of the postcards. "This is sheer discrimination. Ritt Bjerregaard is abusing her position as Lord Mayor in using her power to prevent us carrying out our perfectly legal job. I don't understand how she can be allowed to contact people in this way," SIO Spokeswoman Susanne Møller said.

Publicity stunt...

Well, that’s obviously not making the prostitutes any money... so what’s the point of it? Publicity?

Get me one of those postcards and a flight to Amsterdam. I'll do some research for you.

Re:

That 'll get you nowhere, considering Amsterdam isn't in Danmark...

It's a short hop over. Sidetrips are always fun.

Re:

[Antiocheian]

No its not.

Just leave it.

Re:

It's a day almost wasted.

If that sounds like sidetrip to you...

I've had successful relationships with longer distances between points.

Not very successful if you have to refer to them in multiples and in the past tense..

So where can I get one of these postcards?

So the First One's Free...

[Phrogman]

So the first one's free, but I bet they make up for it in volume - so to speak :P

They could probably take a marketing tip from my local coffee shop - buy 6 coffees and get your card punched each time, and you get the 7th one free. I bet that would work well anywhere that Brothels are legal, which I presume by the article comments they are in Denmark. I always thought living in Denmark might be a great idea...

Publicity, and sticking it to the jerk that is trying to (maybe illegally?) infringe upon their legal trade.

What do you think the local bars (or theaters, or whatever) would do if some jerk sent out letters to the attendees of a conference telling them not to use their services.

Tips...

A political statement. At the moment it is legal to be a prostitute and also legal to be a customer. It is not legal to be a pimp or madam however, a somewhat ineffective attempt at catching/punishing/curbing human trafficking.

The reason the prostitutes are so vocal is that there are strong forces working towards banning prostitution in Denmark. One of the biggest parties, the social democrats, decided to make illegal prostitution part of their political programme. Incidentaly the mayor of Copenhagen Ritt

Not making them any money??? LOL These girls know just when to hint about the "extras" that can be had for only a few dollars more. This is just advertising to get the men in the door, where they will happily open their wallets once they are in the mood.

Or maybe...

[tacarat]

The whores are trying to make sure that the attendees don't find prostitutes without their "help". I wouldn't be surprised if there was a small cadre of professionals lined up ahead of time to service the summit members. Making recommendations about certain policies can be much easier when given by a naked power point presenter while getting serviced by your assigned "assistant".

Re:

[Anonymous Coward]

Of course there are assigned helpers - do you think it's EASY to find a woman that looks like Rush Limbaugh to fuck Republican reps with a strap-on? Those guys have "refined tastes".

this is good news

[Anonymous Coward]

It's good to know that SOMEWHERE sex workers can stand up for their rights with out getting arrested or pimp-slapped.

Ritt is a woman

[qc_dk]

Just thought i's mention the he should be changed to a she. You got it right in the quote.

Free as in...

[hallux.sinister]

A Danish Climate Change Summit Prostitute? Hey everyone! We now have something better than "Free as in Beer!" MMmmmm... tastier, too!

Re:

[Tekfactory]

Parent has missed the point of TFA and even TFS this is not FREE.

Danish Climate Change Summit Prostitutes are Postcardware.

Maybe some folks are too young to remember the flavor of shareware where the author asked you to send him/her a postcard if you liked/used the software.
