Terrorism
April 13, 2005
Here in New York City, the specter of former mayor Rudy Giuliani is being raised. Today it was announced that a state appeals court has upheld city zoning laws used against adult businesses. This means that the 60-40 loophole, which meant that adult businesses could operate in residential neighborhoods as long as no more than 40% of the store was devoted to adult materials, has been killed. Basically 60-40 meant that many porn stores would stock the rest of the store with kung fu movies or more often bizarre, dusty overstock copies of the same obscure/bad/cheap movie over and over again. So we’re back to adult businesses being barred from residential neighborhoods. Quoth Mayor Michael Bloomberg: “New Yorkers won’t have to push their strollers past porn shops, have topless bars for neighbors or have to worry about peep booths in the back of their corner magazine store.”
Did I mention this is effective immediately? That puts dozens of strip clubs (including biggies like Scores), porn shops and the like in violation and, most likely in short order, out of business.
Now that some of the 9/11 hysteria is subsiding, there’s a resurrection of a not unfamiliar terrorism sweeping the land. The anti-sex brigades are marching, I can hear them.
Sex is danger. Watch out.
