Somebody doesn't like sex ads

A Cologne brothel touting for clients with a World Cup-themed banner has blacked out the flags of Iran and Saudi Arabia after threats from Muslims.

The giant banner on a high-rise building shows a semi-naked woman and the flags of the 32 countries in the World Cup, which kicks off in June. The Pascha brothel's owner, Armin Lobscheid, said a group of Muslims had threatened violence over the advert. He said they had accused the brothel of insulting Islam by using the flags.

First there were telephone threats of violence, then about 30 hooded protesters armed with knives and sticks turned up outside Pascha on Friday, the Koelner Stadt-Anzeiger newspaper reported. "The situation was explosive," Mr Lobscheid told the paper.

"Some of the people compared our ad to the Danish Mohammed cartoons," he said, referring to cartoons which sparked violent protests in several Muslim countries in February.

Mr Lobscheid said the banner had been commissioned in a normal business deal and "we certainly didn't intend to insult anyone". He said the significance of the flags' symbols had been overlooked.

Prostitution is legal in Germany, where the authorities are preparing for a possible boom in the sex trade during the World Cup.




When you can't get your way, attack and kill people. When is the world going to wake up and realize that it is a cult.

Amazing how prostitution is legal abroad and evil here.

I'm surprised the govt hasn't allow it, so they can start taxing it. Shit, the national debt would be paid up within a few months.

I'd argue that we men pay enough taxes for that already

[Haul Asp]

Can't argue with that.
