Male strippers may be out of a job

City officials are trying to make it a lot harder for a woman (or man) to get teabagged in Austin. They have filed a civil action to close down LaBare, the male strip club on South Congress. From the Political Gateway:

The club’s owner, Kevin Cox, told the Austin American-Statesman the dancers do not go beyond the topless stage, with boxers or briefs covering their genital areas. He describes the dance routines as fantasies in which the strippers do standup comedy or dress up as firefighters or police officers.

But city officials say some of the routines imitate sex acts and the men sometimes bare their rear ends. Because the club is within 1,000 feet of the Texas School for the Deaf and Town Lake Park, that would be illegal.

This would be sad news because less nudity is always a bad thing.
