>Next thing you know, this will be the birth of a new industry. Attendance incentive providers will do whatever it takes to bring people to your event. Low voter turnout? Promise them strippers and free beer. Some parliaments, schools, churches... may need help too. You heard this here first.

Nothing new about using strippers and beer to boost attendance at events. We have porn stars running for government offices (hey gets more attention on the election, so hopefully more attention on the issues - and probably more voters showing up - not such a bad thing?). There was a high school principle in Chicago who's students did an excellent job, so reward was a nice show by the Chipendales (male strippers). As for the churches - well the devil worshipers always used hot strippers to lure new membership! hahahaha
Hey at my funeral feel free to have some dancing girls and a keg of beer - I'm all for it - and if I wasn't its not like I'll be around to care.
