#3 Fundamentalists' action to embarass the government? Certainly more civilized than car bombs, and possibly more effective as well.

#4 A few pointers to the management of such a club.

Buy off the police. If they won't be bought, then surround the club with a community hostile to the police, where a call of "Hey, Rube!", or the equivalent will quickly assemble an armed mob to attack them.

If the police can be bought, then periodically arrange for them to raid the establishment and find nothing incriminating, and maybe something mildly embarrassing, like a meeting of "The elderly ladies' knitting and patriotic society".

If the police can be bought, make sure they are bought from the top down, to keep low level cops from getting greedy. Older girls should be encouraged to marry police officers, and often they make good couples.

Support for the major, non-fanatical political factions should be proportional to their representation. And the fanatical factions should be held at bay with blackmail of their leaders.

Some government bureaucrats are also good to have as patrons.

It can be complicated to be an entrepreneur.

#11 A few years ago, I came up with an Internet business model for a legal celebrity brothel in Nevada.

The idea is that, as far as most celebrities are concerned, if they aren't performing, they aren't eating.

First you create a website with a huge listing of celebrities. Then, for a small subscription fee, ordinary people can set up something like a private MySpace page, including a photo and personal details. Once they do so, they submit a list of 10 celebrities and how much they would pay to have s*x with them.

Celebrities would have a rating, based on how many people want to have s*x with them. Of course, many of them wouldn't want to have s*x with a stranger, but that doesn't matter.

Then, if a celebrity subscribed to the website, they could find out who their "fans" were, and how much they were willing to pay. There would need to be extra verification to insure the celebrity is who they say they are.

And only then, if they were interested, would the website receive a payment, and deposit the fan's money in escrow, not including the non-refundable price of first class round-trip airfare to Nevada for the celebrity, and the two arrange a meeting at a prearranged private place.

At the meeting, either can still back out less the price of airfare for the celebrity. But if they agree to have s*x, then the celebrity is paid for services rendered.

The only potential problem is that the State of Nevada licenses its prostitutes, so there would need to be a tweak in the law to allow one-shot hookups. This may be unnecessary, as the two would be meeting as private individuals, with the transaction elsewhere. Thus it could be in a nice hotel instead of a brothel.

Being egomaniacs, a lot of celebrities would do anything to get to the top of the list of "most desirable", and if they wanted to pay to set up a lot of fake MySpace pages with themselves at #1, they would be free to do so.

Of course, some of the more moral ones would demand that their names be removed from the site, but no need to do so, as it really isn't about *them*, but their fans.

One of the few rules would be that individuals would be banned if they offered money and weren't willing to put it in escrow. Otherwise, it would offer two-way privacy and a great opportunity to demonstrate fan appreciation.

If a celebrity backed out and just took the money, their fans would be advised that they were a rip off, which would probably ruin their desirability rating.
