It seems that Italians are having quite a hard time tackling their prostitutes. The reason? Tree-lined streets are blocking their view. In an effort to fight the problem, they have come up with a controversial solution to effective hooker spotting: deforestation. The Bonifica del Tronto road, located in the Abruzzo region of Italy has long been a hot spot for call girls of all nationalities. Over 600 prostitutes from all over the world -including Nigeria, Romania, Brazil, Albany and China – have been lining the tree-filled streets which in turn makes them undetectable to security cameras, raids and patrols.
Angelo Di Paolo, the regional government’s public works chief, has recently decided to take drastic measures in controlling the problem. In a collaboration between provincial and municipal governments, all trees and vegetation that line the banks of the river Tronto are to be cut. Way to implement a ‘green’ attitude.
Despite not coming as a surprise, several environmental groups have spoken out against the plan which would eliminate over 69 acres of vegetation. Members from several environmental agencies have spoken to the UK Guardian claiming that the only crime committed by soon-to-be-chopped trees was offering “shelter and intimacy to sex slaves.”
Perhaps the biggest question is this: do whores really seek shelter and intimacy when roaming the streets? I highly doubt it. What they need is exposure – that why they look like the girls you see in free porn. Otherwise, how would they make any money? If they’re selling their bodies, what better way to advertise than to parade around the streets like a billboard? I’m just saying.
I highly doubt that cutting down trees will make that much of an impact on the problem. If raids and security cameras aren’t working, how about trying harder? Investing more money into the cause would certainly help. Cutting down trees, on the other hand, is a highly dubious solution to a prostitution problem. Not only will it not work, but it will also cause a huge stir amongst environmental fanatics everywhere. Certainly not worth it.
