Prostitutes Offer Free Climate Summit Sex

Danish sex workers are offering free sex to COP15 in order to defend their industry.

Copenhagen Mayor Ritt Bjerregaard sent postcards to city hotels warning summit guests not to patronize Danish sex workers during the upcoming conference. Now, the prostitutes have struck back, offering free sex to anyone who produces one of the warnings.

Copenhagen's city council in conjunction with Lord Mayor Ritt Bjerregaard sent postcards out to 160 Copenhagen hotels urging COP15 guests and delegates to 'Be sustainable - don't buy sex'.

"Dear hotel owner, we would like to urge you not to arrange contacts between hotel guests and prostitutes," the approach to hotels says.

 

Now, Copenhagen prostitutes are up in arms, saying that the council has no business meddling in their affairs. They have now offered free sex to anyone who can produce one of the offending postcards and their COP15 identity card, according to the Web site avisen.dk.

Discrimination

According to the report, the move has been organized by the Sex Workers Interest Group (SIO).

"This is sheer discrimination. Ritt Bjerregaard is abusing her position as Lord Mayor in using her power to prevent us carrying out our perfectly legal job. I don't understand how she can be allowed to contact people in this way," SIO Spokeswoman Susanne Møller tells avisen.dk.

Møller adds that it is reprehensible and unfair that Copenhagen politicians have chosen to use the UN Climate Summit as a platform for a hetz against sex workers.

"But they've done it and we have to defend ourselves," Møller says.

Prostitution is legal in Copenhagen - and free if you're a delegate in an upcoming global warming conference.

Take our Poll

Trick or treat?

Do you think prostitution should be legal?

 
Yes
No

Global-warming summiteers have been told it's uncool to buy hookers, but prostitutes have turned a trick of their own: heating up the atmosphere in Copenhagen by offering free sex to delegates.

Copenhagen Mayor Ritt Bjerregaard and the city council had postcards sent to 160 hotels urging people coming to town for next weeks UN Climate Change Conference to "be sustainable don't buy sex," according to Spiegelonline.

"Dear hotel owner, we would like to urge you not to arrange contacts between hotel guests and prostitutes," the cards say.

Pols may think enviro delegates should only burn their cash on the kind of hot Danish that goes with coffee, but sending that kind of message got the Sex Workers Interest Group steamed.

"This is sheer discrimination. Ritt Bjerregaard is abusing her position as lord mayor in using her power to prevent us carrying out our perfectly legal job. I don't understand how she can be allowed to contact people in this way," the group's spokeswoman, Susanne Møller, was quoted as saying.

"We have to defend ourselves," Moller said in touting the call girl giveaway, which offers a comp romp to anyone who can produce a warning card and summit ID badge.

Interesting, very interesting.
Now that would be discrimination.

It's just the way it's worded and the 'service' is being offered. It implies the prostitutes are female and the customers are male. That's where I detected discrimination.
Clearly there are two sides to this profession, but the Copenhagen version implies only the blokes need to indulge.
Perhaps they don't have discrimination laws in that country. They probably don't have the political correctness police either.

Well the photo shows a young shapely wench so I hope the service is intended for the male of the species.

Maybe ducks are not all they're quacked up to be!smile
And as for ducks as leaders, we've got a prime minister who's a ducking idiot. He ducks all the important issues so he can feather his own nest.
Sorry, Tony

Mr Duck mention poop. This was also seen on the streets. Probably the most accurate statement to come from the summit.
