‘Nothing wrong’ with UK lap dancing club’s boob featuring flyer: Sheriff
By ANIWednesday, June 2, 2010
LONDON - A sheriff has labelled the decision to deny licence to a Glasgow lap dancing club, because its promotional handout featured part of a dancer’s boob, “absurd”.
Sheriff Principal James Taylor believes most women’s “evening dresses” expose more breast than the figure appearing on Seventh Heaven’s flyer.
The Glasgow club was denied a license last June after the city’s licensing board raised several objections, saying the woman - sporting yellow pants and covering her breasts with an arm - was “unsuitably clothed”, reports the Sun.
However, Glasgow Sheriff Court has now overturned the decision.
“Only a very small part of the side of her breast is depicted. There is more breast exposed in certain daily tabloid newspapers,” the Sun quoted Sheriff Taylor, as saying.
He went on: “If one looks at adverts in magazines normally read by women, one sees more breasts.
“In short, I can see nothing wrong with the degree of breast exposed.”
Sheriff Taylor added: “In short the Licensing Board’s judgement is absurd. No reasonable board could come to the view the female depicted was unsuitably clothed.” (ANI)
