Georgia Not On My Mind

Take a moment of silence.

The last stripper has left town!

In Avonia, Georgia, population abysmal...

This summer, a mob led by the mayor tore down gaudy billboards advertising topless dancers, put plywood over glass doors bearing a nude silhouette and purged the awnings proclaiming the incendiary name of the club — Cafe Risque — in a diesel-fueled bonfire.


Seven years after Lavonia was duped into allowing the strip club to open, it got even by secretly buying the club in a backhanded property swap. It cost the town $1 million, or roughly a third of Lavonia's annual budget. The deal could have come cheaper if Lavonia hadn't gone through a middleman.

We here at Society Sex are confused. Since when did people have to be tricked into seeing hot beaver on a bar? This is the United States of America!

But Owens says it was worth it, and Lavonia residents still stinging from the deception are eager to back him up.

"We're in the Bible Belt," says Ron Walters, the owner of a downtown flower shop. "You just don't do things like that here."

Bible belts are one thing. But chastity belts. They don't work. Just ask Mistress Palin.

Society Sex, if we had a heart...it would go towards all these strippers, displaced and jobless.

Whores, not wars!!
