I'm not a fan of those-types of bars, but really. Those poor patrons are already faced with huge credit card bills, 5 drink minimums, and reek of cheap drugstore perfume. Someone should look into where the real money is... ASCAP and BMI. I would personally like to nominate them to produce $5 each year for every 'client' they own. These two unregulated 0rganizations are free-wielding pimps. I deem a pimp and a sexual assault somewhat related. Or go after industrial companies pumping pollution into the environment, or maybe even impose an additional $5 fine on each traffic citation. Let the state and government agencies track all that paperwork and report to their own, Uncle Sam.
