On a dare from a website, four girls descended into the subways of New York City and performed risque strip numbers on the N train, gyrating on poles and dangling from overhead strap handles. They won the ten grand from the site, darejunkies.com.
And, as if they give a dámņ, they received a severe scolding from the MTA as a spokesman declared, “The last thing we want is for anyone to turn our subways into roving burlesque stages for crude exhibitionists.”
Really. Is that a fact? “The last thing we want?”
As an occasional subway rider, when I’m thinking about “the last thing we want” on the subways, I’m thinking…oh, I dunno…a fare hike.
Or more trains breaking down.
Or money being cut so that there are fewer transit cops.
Or graffiti all over the place.
Or terrorists detonating bombs.
Or fewer trains being run so that the trains that are running are horrifically overcrowded.
Or people bumming money off me.
Or people vomiting or urinating in the corner or staggering around drunk and falling on me.
On my personal list, gorgeous strippers performing on the subway is so far and away from “the last thing” that it’s not even funny. Perhaps the MTA should get its priorities in order.
