About twenty New Jersey strippers (who were joined by 400 more people), fearful of the affect New Jersey’s new indoor smoking ban will have on business, came together in front of the New Jersey Statehouse in Trenton yesterday to protest the ban. One dancer commented: “I feel that instead of customers coming to the bar, they’ll stay home to smoke their cigarettes.” Yea, if you’re gonna go to their homes and take your clothes off. Something tells me she doesn’t really get why people go to strip clubs.

Meanwhile, a completely different group of twenty women (not joined by 400, or even ten, more people), upset at EchoStar for “preventing viewers from gaining access to important issues like domestic violence and health,” showed up at Denver’s Civic Center Park to protest against the satellite service for removing two Lifetime channels from their Dish Network.
