| Gigolo school raided for overcharging students |
| 2003-11-14 |
| Hat tip: Drudge. Edited for brevity. Police raided a gigolo training center in Panchiao and arrested nine of the school’s operators for overcharging students, officials said yesterday. The operators allegedly inflated tuition bills by adding in expensive clothes and mobile phones, police officer Liu Tai-shun said. You need the clothes for your "date" and the phone to line up your next "date"--they sound more practical to me than textbooks! During the raid on Wednesday night, police officers seized fancy clothes, earrings and lecture notes as evidence, officers said. The school’s operators ran classified ads offering ``well-paid moonlighting jobs’’ and collected up to NT$200,000 for several weeks of training courses, police said. Men can legally work as hosts in bars and clubs, but it’s illegal to solicit sex from customers. A local newspaper reported that the school gave lectures on eloquence, posture, dancing and popular games played at gigolo bars for the potential "male public relations workers," a Taiwanese term for gigolos. "They were also lectured on taboos at the bars, such as wearing white socks, smoking while walking or walking across the dance floor," it said. What about black socks with shorts? Can you chew gum and walk? Is the "Electric Slide" taboo? |

#1 And, in a similar vein, a prostitution raid in AZ nets 72, including a One man wanted a woman to run in sneakers to get her feet sweating before donning stiletto heels; another wondered whether being in a wheelchair was a deal-breaker; and one woman wanted to join in with her boyfriend for his birthday. One man called Crystal to ask if he could bring his soldier friend, recently returned from Iraq. He was told not to. "He deserves a little better than being thrown in jail," said Detective Shari Decker, who posed as Crystal.  "Oh, the shame!" |
