The White House needs more prostitutes
Instead of the United States White House with its media whores, New Zealand has a brothel with a White House theme that is putting out the call for prostitutes. Being legal in New Zealand, the newsprint advert being run has raised the ire of the U.S. Embassy there.
By making an issue of this, the actions of the U.S. Embassy has ensured the story travels far and wide. What started as a local embarassment is now a world-wide non-story that is being repeated because of its humor value.
The United States seems to be failing to dictate puritanical social values to the world, doesn't it?
