Real lap dances, fake money

Posted by Mustang Sally, Mayor of Bang Town on Thu, Dec 15, 2011 at 5:05 PM

A man is facing federal charges for slipping fake $10 and $20 bills to strippers at Club Onyx.

According to The Charlotte Observer, Derrick Moore was indicted on Wednesday for sticking the counterfeit cash in strippers' g-strings.

Moore faces charges of with uttering, or presenting, as well as passing counterfeit obligations or securities. It was not immediately known whether Moore has been arrested.

I can't help but wonder, when did the stripper know the money was fake — before or after the ink ran down her leg?

And is Moore such a regular at Onyx that the dancer(s) knew for sure he had given the phoney money?

Going overboard with sexual harassment

Posted by Mustang Sally, Mayor of Bang Town on Tue, Dec 6, 2011 at 10:14 AM

Have you heard the story about the 9-year-old Gastonia boy who said his teacher was cute and then got suspended from school?

He's been Herman Cain'ed, accused of sexual harassment and everything, and he's only 9. Here's the back story, as reported by WSOC:

Chiquita Lockett said her 9-year-old son, Emanyea, spent the last two days at home.

Lockett said the principal of Brookside Elementary called her Wednesday to say the incident was a form of “sexual harassment.”

Emanyea told Eyewitness News a substitute teacher overheard him tell another student a teacher was cute.

The boy didn't touch the teacher and didn't even tell the teacher to her face that he thought she was "cute."

To save face explain their actions, the Gaston County School sent Lockett a letter explaining why a 9-year-old saying a teacher is cute constitutes sexual harassment.

In the letter, school officials say Emanyea Lockett said a teacher was fine in a suggestive tone. He said he told a friend she was cute.

The district says the comment is considered a form of sexual harassment.

What does a 9-year-old know about "suggestive language"? It seems that the adults are the ones with their minds in the gutter. Raise your hand if you never had a crush on a teacher while in grade school.

World AIDS Day

Posted by Cheris Hodges on Thu, Dec 1, 2011 at 2:09 PM

It's been 30 years since the discovery of the AIDS virus in the United States, and according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the South includes the largest number of people in this country living with or dying from HIV/AIDS.

Four out of ten (40%) Americans living with AIDS reside in the South.

In Mecklenburg County, an average of seven new HIV/AIDS cases is reported daily, according to The Regional AIDS Interfaith Network, or RAIN. Most of those cases affect African Americans.

African Americans are disproportionately impacted by HIV. African Americans comprise 68% of all new reported HIV cases in 2007, despite representing only 28% of the county's total population

From 1999 to 2007 HIV cases increased by 57%

Mecklenburg County has the highest number of HIV/AIDS cases in North Carolina

North Carolina was ranked 8th out of the top 15 states with new AIDS cases among African Americans


That's why today, which is World AIDS Day, is such a red letter day.
Mecklenburg County HIV/AIDS Council has a host of events schedule for World AIDS Day, as well as free testing centers.

A kiss between 12-year-olds is a. . .crime?

Posted by Mustang Sally, Mayor of Bang Town on Mon, Nov 21, 2011 at 10:34 AM

A quick kiss in gym class may mark a 12-year-old girl as a sex offender.

Things sure have changed in schools these days.


Deputies said they were called to Orange River Elementary School after a girl kissed one of her classmates during physical education class last week.

The school reported the incident as a possible sex crime, and the Department of Children and Families was called in.

Investigators said the girl could be charged with battery if the boy didn't consent to the kiss.

How is it that sexual abuse in churches and universities can go on for decades and when kids do things that kids there's such a swift and forceful reaction?

Sex with animals can lead to penile cancer

Posted by Cheris Hodges on Thu, Nov 10, 2011 at 11:34 AM

Rodell Vereen, the South Carolina man who was convicted of having sex with a neighbor's horse, had better go to the doctor.

A recent study shows that men who have sex with animals are twice as likely to develop penile cancer.


Men who had sex with animals also reported a higher incidence of sexually transmitted diseases.

Of the 118 penile cancer patients, 45 percent reported having sex with animals, compared with 32 percent of healthy men, who visited the medical centers for benign conditions, check-ups or cancer prevention. Fifty-nine percent of men who had sex with animals did so for one to five years, while 21 percent continued the behavior, also known as zoophilia, for more than five years. The subjects reported a variety of frequencies for their sex acts, ranging from monthly to daily.

OK, that's just plain gross.

Daisy Dooks hosts its grand opening

Posted by Kimberly Lawson on Thu, Nov 10, 2011 at 8:12 AM

Our newest nightlife blogger Megan Henshall checked out the recently opened Daisy Dooks (3049 Scott Futrell Drive), which hosts its grand opening this weekend.

She writes:


Speaking of exposing your eyeballs to things, Daisy Dooks is the new luxury cruise ship of strip clubs that recently opened near the airport. It’s gone and happened, the mega strip club from the Midwest has arrived in Charlotte. Apparently Iowa knows three things: livestock, corn, and the art of the titty bar. All 2,500 (maximum capacity of over 1,400) square feet is dripping with excess in the best possible way.

...

All in, the space can accommodate over 100 dancers, and on peak nights, you will currently find upwards of 50 lovelies twerking it at a time. In case you haven’t yet done that math, that comes to roughly 100 boobs.

Study says sexual harassment is a daily experience for middle and high school students

Posted by Mustang Sally, Mayor of Bang Town on Mon, Nov 7, 2011 at 5:30 PM

As if reading about Herman Cain's ever-growing list of sexual harassment allegations wasn't enough, here comes a report that should disturb anyone with a school-aged child.

CNN reports:


Sexual harassment is part of everyday life in middle and high schools across the country, a new study released on Monday by a nonprofit research organization said, with the vast majority of students who have been harassed, reporting negative effects from it.

The study finds that some kids faced with this kind of behavior skip school and have trouble sleeping.


The findings also showed that girls were more likely than boys to be sexually harassed, both in person and by electronic means. The results also confirm previous research which shows the experiences of girls tended to be more physical and intrusive than for boys.

This report seems to have a direct link to a hazing incident in Clover, S.C.
Last month, the small town was in a tizzy at the allegation that some members of the football team had threatened to sexually assault a player with a broom handle.

Ten players were kicked off the team, the season went down the drain and no charges were filed. Also, the sexual nature of the alleged hazing disappeared from the discussion.


Prosecutor Kevin Brackett told reporters Thursday there was an incident at the school Sept. 19 in the locker room, but nothing as serious as the rumors that spread across the community in the following weeks.

Brackett says there was nothing more than what he called a "bunch of locker room horse play."

No wonder kids are afraid.
