Rarely on this side of the Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea are we blessed with propaganda so divorced from the surly bonds of reality that it sails upward, ever upward, into the realm of surrealism.

The past few weeks have been rather dry in the interesting link department; I reckon it’s because the clowns performing on the national stage are even more buffoonish than usual, and their pratfalls are taking attention away from murderous cops, the weird behavior of Floridians and the like. But there was a sudden upswing in sex work stories last week, so we’ll see where this goes. The video is just here to make Grace smile (it was her birthday last Wednesday); she also provided the first link, and the others above the video are from Popehat (“Gygax”), Tushy Galore (“NONE”), Eddie J Cunningham (“ill”), Radley Balko (“together”), and Wendy Lyon (“functions”).
