Tofu and Titties.

My boss phoned my office yesterday laughing himself into stitches.  He called to tell us about something he discovered while buying coffee. A local paper published an article about a desperate struggle going on in the neighbourhood here around SouthEast Portland. 

For those of you who aren't familiar with Portland, Oregon; there's a particular fondness for strip clubs in this city (and state, but especially in and around Portland), and there is a great fervour brewing right next door to an existing strip club called 'The Acropolis' which is apparently quite famous for its excellent steak-bites (and crotch crickets).

Apparently, in a shuttered, shut-down building on a lot right next to an existing strip club, the owner of another strip club in northwest Portland wants to open a 'franchise' in the southeast side of the city at this location.  What makes this whole thing even more hilarious than it already is, is that the new proposed strip-club (called Diablo) is a VEGAN strip-club. Yes, a VEGAN strip club. I'm sorry... but that's funny. It's so... Portland. And what's funnier?  Look at the pictures in the articles below... especially the one in the second part (click the images to enlarge if you need to):

"Our daughters are NOT for sale!!!!"

"Stop Animal Cruelty!" - "Stop Vegan Hatred!!!!"

I don't need to explain why this is so damned hilarious.  It speaks for itself.  While children are being abused, while war rages, while the economy drags one middle class family after the next into poverty.... vegan strip clubs make the front page on the local rag.  Seriously! Lawlz.
