"Will I Get Mad Pussy or Will I Get The Pussy Mad?!"
Yesterday in Extra, Extra, we brought you the story of the Pleasures Gentlemen's Club in Pasadena getting cited for excessive nudity and illegal contact with patrons. A savvy commenter linked us to an oldie, but goodie Best of Craigslist posting from three years ago featuring a guy with some supposed political connections:
Fellow CLers take notice because this is going to blow you away! I just landed a job that you won't fucking believe. My father worked for the city of LA for a long time and just recently they decided to create this job. (my father is retired now) I only got the opportunity to do this b/c of my father's good standing with the city but check it out. I AM GOING TO ENFORCE THE NEW LAP-DANCE LAWS! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH WHOOOOO HHOOOOOOOO SUCKAS! That's right, I have been hired to go from strip club to strip club and watch strippers/dancers to make sure that they adhere to the new laws. I go in and monitor at first and then I am allowed to ask for a lap dance or "dance" and if the dancer gets too freaky then POW! she and the bar get fined! WILL I GET MAD PUSSY OR WILL I GET THE PUSSY MAD?!?!??!!? Fellow CLers, praise to god, it gets better. My degree is in Communications and I have been working for the last two years for a private advertising company for peanuts; guess what the city of LA is paying me to do this job!?!??!!??!?...ready?....listening?...ready?... .........$72,000 DOLLARS A YEAR...HAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHHAHAHA SUCKAS! RIGHT NOW I AM RUNNING AROUND THE HOUSE NAKED THINKING OF ALL THE HOT, YOUNG, SLUTS I WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF.....WHOOOOOOO HHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....STAY TUNED B/C THIS CAN ONLY GET BETTER AND I WILL KEEP YOU GUYS UPDATED!!!!!!!
Too bad that law fell through. Nice dream of becoming an insta-cop though:)

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
