Is stripping is a legitimate, legal way to make a living, why are they any less eligible to file a claim for lost earnings?

This never happened. Here's how I know. The stripper isn't real, and neither is her establishment. There never was such a strip club, and they received and cashed no money. Strip clubs, even underground ones, cannot operate without a trace. They attract attention. Of course they do, they're filled with beautiful naked chicks, they connect with people over the internet, and they tend to take lots and lots of pictures. Even if they don't go online or take pictures, other people mention them.

It turns out that the address was something really mundane, and had never been a strip club, nor had the business received any more. It's always possible that someone put in a claim, but no one paid them, and there were no strippers involved.

It's more likely that someone made the story up out of whole cloth, and posted it online, and gullible people bought it.

And I agree about BP, they suck. Go back to Britain. And get out of the Gulf. And Alaska. Your ooze is killing off species no one has ever seen or heard of in an ocean trench.

Yes, sorry, you're correct. This is a different club. The last one was in NoLa, and didn't exist. This one does exist.

ETA: Kane, see, I was right. They're an actual strip club, and they put up pictures of the girls.

But it's the same story. That's suspicious. The story is still suspect.

Someone's trying to get republicans outraged at BP.

Strippers losing business should hold a protest rally. Strip for sanity? Strip for our lives!

It'll be like a PETA protest
