One would have thought that with the Climategate scandal afoot, attendance at the United Nations' Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen would have been zilch. Now we learn why all these Johns, er world leaders are still going, it’s the free sex!
From Spiegel Online:
Copenhagen Mayor Ritt Bjerregaard sent postcards to city hotels warning summit guests not to patronize Danish sex workers during the upcoming conference. Now, the prostitutes have struck back, offering free sex to anyone who produces one of the warnings.
Copenhagen's city council in conjunction with Lord Mayor Ritt Bjerregaard sent postcards out to 160 Copenhagen hotels urging COP15 guests and delegates to 'Be sustainable - don't buy sex'.
"Dear hotel owner, we would like to urge you not to arrange contacts between hotel guests and prostitutes," the approach to hotels says.
Now, Copenhagen prostitutes are up in arms, saying that the council has no business meddling in their affairs. They have now offered free sex to anyone who can produce one of the offending postcards and their COP15 identity card, according to the Web site avisen.dk.
Discrimination
According to the report, the move has been organized by the Sex Workers Interest Group (SIO).
"This is sheer discrimination. Ritt Bjerregaard is abusing her position as Lord Mayor in using her power to prevent us carrying out our perfectly legal job. I don't understand how she can be allowed to contact people in this way," SIO Spokeswoman Susanne Møller tells avisen.dk.
Møller adds that it is reprehensible and unfair that Copenhagen politicians have chosen to use the UN Climate Summit as a platform for a hetz against sex workers.
"But they've done it and we have to defend ourselves," Møller says.
Perhaps they should rename this conference the Man Laid Global Warming Conference!

I'm personally relieved. I thought those fools were going to the conference to discussed the trumped up Global Warming foolishness. When you say they're going there for free hookers -- makes perfect sense. Is it too late for me to sign up?
Does that make this the Copulhagen Summit?

Free sex makes tons of sense! Man Made Global Warming, not so much.

Very clever!
1) Perfect rename, Clifton.
2) the Mayor wrote 'Be sustainable - don't buy sex'. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? You know, I've heard many a reason why we, for 'sustainability's' sake should not practice or perform this or that thing or action. But, as someone who has actually had sexual encounters in the past, at least a few times [have to say that for the wife's sake], I cannot for the life of me figure out how having sex with a hooker is 'anti-green'.
