Orlando Weekly Loves You Long Time
Local law enforcement recently came down on the Orlando Weekly for knowingly selling ad space to prostitutes. Seems a few AEs were fully aware of what sorts of businesses they were placing ads for, and even coached the ladies on what could and could not be said in the form of ad copy. ("I don't know if the phrase 'Happy Ending' is how we wanna go with this one, uh...you said your name was Candy?")
The Orlando Weekly is just like any other metropolitan free paper that has the word "weekly" after the city name. It's full of underground music reviews, bar reviews, left-wing politics and ads for concerts, bars, gay chat lines and massage parlors. I grabbed a copy this morning at 7-11.
Looks like the AEs are still soliciting the same clients, perhaps with revised copy now.

I think they have an Asian clip art series for massage parlors. Cool.

i thought oriental was politically incorrect. it should be asian massage and happy endings.

What I like best is the overall Archie Porn Comic Book feel to these ads. Regarding the new and allowed phrases, euphemistically speaking, here are some options.
•Rooster Rubs
•Late Night Delight Spa
•Horizontal Shiatzu
•Prostate cleansing
•Asian Pelvic Flushing
•Testicular lactose drainage
