My City (Madison) Delays Opening of Business Providing Non-Sexual Snuggle

We have businesses in operation that are thought to provide sex to willing customers. It seems like they focus their prohibition efforts on those.

I feel bad for the city attorney trying to talk on camera about it seriously. She's the only one who seems like a WI person. The news people and snuggle manager seem like people from the Coasts.

    I thought of you when I first saw this story. lol
    ok, I have had some CRAZY madison WI conversations. here are two of my personal favorites:
    1. our friend, who is a psychiatrist in Madison, works 2.5 days a week. He was complaining about the cost of his health insurance. We looked at him a looong time, and then said, "why don't you just work another day per week?
    2. we met the head of Madison community gardens at a party. He was complaining he wasn't paid enough considering the stress of the job. It was January, and I asked, what do you do during the winter? He replied, recuperating.

      I have on occasion experienced this: http://youtu.be/msEfgBfXAW0
      I think that's what rightwing people call "PC".

      The video captures the atmosphere, attitude, disorganization, and passive-aggressive orthodoxy enforcement of a small segment of Madison.

      My wife and I watch Portlandia to laugh off the occasional encounters we have with people like this.

      Unfortunately the rarely working and then complaining about not having enough money are really common, way more than the stuff in that video. There's a huge segment of Madison that wants a "family friendly job", i.e. one that requires no travel, no work on weekends or after hours, strict 40 hour workweek, no tough competition, provides a house in a good neighborhood with a bedroom for each kid, provides generous benefits for health/life/disability insurance. I want everyone to have that too, but it's bizarre when people are indignant they don't have that, as if someone could just push a button and give them a cushy job. It's like they're perplexed someone isn't giving them stuff without working.

      There's also a lot of good in Madison. I'm happy to be from here and to live here more often than I'm frustrated.
