Strip clubs swivel online to entice RNC visitors

[Tony_FLADEM]

TAMPA — In a private room at the 2001 Odyssey strip club, dancers with names like Candy, Bella and Ferrari sit on a high-backed velvet bench and video chat with online customers from across the country. For a price, they'll disrobe and move into an adjacent room to dance.


Web customers pay a monthly membership fee for these virtual interactions. And some of them, the club says, end up coming to Tampa for a trip inside the spaceship-topped nude club on N Dale Mabry Highway where they can visit the strippers in person.


By August — just in time for the Republican National Convention — operators of Club Cam Systems plan to roll out similar ventures at two other Tampa adult clubs. Their goal: drum up thousands of dollars online while giving some of the estimated 50,000 GOP convention visitors a taste of the adult entertainment awaiting them when they arrive.

1. Undoubtedly they anticipate having a target rich environment with the Republican delegates.

This is an absolutely wonderful story that warms my black heart.

2. LOL. I just watched their promotional video (for research purposes of course)

And one of the occasions they advertise is:

'Even if you want to party with your friend who just got out of jail.'

Heh

3. Gotta love how sleaze and the Republican party go hand in hand.
