NO TIPS FOR A BEND OVER.
External link:
This crazy message, photocopied from a page written in black magic marker with sloppy handwriting, is in the window of almost every newspaper machine within five blocks of my apartment, which is right around the corner from Flashdancers, a "gentlemen's club," which I have never visited.
The message states:
-----
BOYCOTT FLAHDANCERS ON BROADWAY
They are a White Slavery taking local women and throwing local men in the street. Connected with most clubs in N.Y. they restrict social activity so all men have got to pay. Also using the topless club to introduce and behavior [sic] the women into prostitution. This all takes place as the AIDS VIRUS is their leading cause of death. If you must enter remember its [sic] suppose [sic] to be toppless [sic] dancing not topless bend over. NO Tips for a bend over.

So remember, kids, if you tip for a bend over, that's white slavery.
Actually, I was once walking past that place on my way home, and I saw some well-dressed guys arguing with the doorman about money. So while they are peacefully arguing over their genuine disagreement, a bouncer from inside came behind one of the guys and shoved him to the ground, breaking one of the guy's teeth. The police happened past (as they often do in Times Square), and I gave them a statement about what I saw, as did the guy and his friends, but I don't think the cops did anything.
