The Devil in Bikinis
by Abby Zimet




A group of Ohio strippers are protesting outside a church whose holier-than-thou members have been protesting them for four years with signs, video cameras and bullhorns charging that they and the club owner "share territory with the devil." Having long invited the fallen to church, Pastor Bill Dunfee started piping his sermons outside but stopped when it "agitated" them and made them dance in the street.

"When these morons go away, we'll go away," said strip-club owner Tommy George. "The great thing about this country is that everyone has a right to believe what they want."

1. Women should be protesting the strip club for the misogynistic
belief that still rules society: that women were only put on this earth to physically please men.

However, I must say that I'm glad strip clubs in my state are not allowed near churches: it keeps the riff-raff apart.
