I haven't seen this in another thread so...

Something needs to be done about these authoritarian bullies!

Anger over 'no pants' promotion

An Australian hotel offering free drinks to women who took off their underwear is to be investigated by alcohol regulators, authorities say.
The Saint Hotel in Melbourne said women who hung their underwear above the bar on No Undie Sundie would receive A$50 ($39; £22) of drinks vouchers.
Women who flashed underwear at hotel staff would also get free drinks.
The Saint stoked controversy in June by hiring a dwarf to pour free alcohol down customers' throats.
The director of Victoria state's alcohol licensing authority said the event - which had been scheduled for this weekend - "looks like an inappropriate liquor promotion".
"We will be investigating with a view to banning it," Sue Maclellan told Melbourne's Herald Sun newspaper.
Women's protection groups said the initiative was "almost an invitation to sexual assault", Reuters news agency reported.
Posters advertising this weekend's promotion showed US singer Britney Spears partially exposed and getting out of a car.
Local Mayor Janet Cribbes said the ad was "bordering on being pornographic".
Managers at the hotel, which describes itself as "the home of Melbourne's fashionable set", were unavailable for comment on Thursday.

Cool idea! :cool:

There is no such thing as an inappropriate liquor promotion.
All liquor promotions are appropriate in my opinion.

"We will be investigating with a view to banning it," Sue Maclellan told Melbourne's Herald Sun newspaper.

Do you not have better things to do with your life, Sue?

Women's protection groups said the initiative was "almost an invitation to sexual assault", Reuters news agency reported.

What about standing up for the rights of wimmins to take their knickers off, if they want to?

Posters advertising this weekend's promotion showed US singer Britney Spears partially exposed and getting out of a car.

Cool Ad. And you can not tell me that Britney did not know what she was doing? Janet, you should take that up with Britney.

Managers at the hotel, which describes itself as "the home of Melbourne's fashionable set", were unavailable for comment on Thursday.

Well, we all know where they were.

:D

That's a really good point.

You'll find a lot of these women's rights groups (for example, Ruhama in Ireland) are extremist Catholic organisations. They don't believe women are capable of choosing "immoral" behaviour.

Retarded.

...

Sounds like a good pub!

They should come along to a BGRH beers then.

Some of our wimmins would prove them wrong.

An investigation with a foregone conclusion = Kangaroo Court.*

*see what I did there? Melbourne Australia, kangaroos, oh never mind...

The ozzies are great, we used to go to this topless bar in Queensland, it was in this small village, saturday afternoon, really family place, the barstaff were all topless wearing tiny g-strings and every hour on the hour, they would do splits on the bar.

this place was full of parents and children, it was great

another bar at risk!
