When broads attack.

"The strip club industry is under broad attack in New York...."

Writes the double-entendre-deaf New York Times.

I'll try to keep abreast of the situation.

Maybe the NYT wasn't deaf. Maybe the writer was clever and the editors were deaf.

Making Strip Clubs Go Dry, Then Go Away

From the headline and first paragraph I would say it was intentional.

THe NYT went Tango Uniform long ago.

I haven't heard women described as "broads" since I was in college decades ago.

Maybe the Times author is young and doesn't know about that meaning.

John Tierney had a nicer article in the NYT long ago.

Under broad attack? Is that an air assault? I thought they were mostly snipers on the ground.

Editors write the headlines. Whoever it was probably saw the humor and didn't give a shit.

"Editors write the headlines. Whoever it was probably saw the humor and didn't give a shit."

What I quoted is not in the headline.

Isn't it legal for women to go topless in NYC? Why don't the clubs simply change to regular bars with topless waitstaff?

H. L. Mencken defined Puritanism as "The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, is having fun." One wonders what he'd make of 21st century liberals.

When I lived on 45th Street in Hell's Kitchen five years ago, the doorman at the strip club across the street made a point to quiet exiting patrons, protect female neighbors, alert cops when drug dealers or street prostitutes returned to our block.

Prices were high, so the clientele wasn't courting drunk and disorderly arrests. Club signage was low-key, soundproofing was great, baffles at the exit kept the club noise from spilling into our bedroom windows.

Overall, Private Eyes was a much better neighbor than the good-times-roll New Orleans-themed saloon on the block behind us.

I thought the secular moralists seeking to shut down this beastly behavior and the strippers were all a part of the Sisterhood?

I would say this was yet another reason to dislike New York, but San Diego's no better.

Who knew Progs were such prudes? Lolol

I live around the corner from the Hustler strip club in NYC. As far as I know it's still open. Never went though.

Is that deafness or a joke with plausible deniability?

Maybe De Blasio can try to impose a city estate tax next, and they can write about the stiff opposition to the plan.
