It's this coming week that the Copenhagen Conference takes place. They're all off to sort out the planet for us, make sure that we don't boil everyone to death by using too much carbon fuels and so on. Tens of thousands of delegates descending on the City, of course.

However, the Lord Mayor has been sending around leaflets asking that the delegates not patronise the prostitutes of the city. This might offend Gaia or something?

In reaction, the prostitutes themselves have decided to offer free sex to the delegates:

Now, Copenhagen prostitutes are up in arms, saying that the council has
no business meddling in their affairs. They have now offered free sex
to anyone who can produce one of the offending postcards and their
COP15 identity card, according to the Web site avisen.dk. According to
the report, the move has been organized by the Sex Workers Interest
Group (SIO). "This is sheer discrimination. Ritt Bjerregaard is abusing
her position as Lord Mayor in using her power to prevent us carrying
out our perfectly legal job. I don't understand how she can be allowed
to contact people in this way," SIO Spokeswoman Susanne Møller tells
avisen.dk.

So, what do you think will win out? Morality and Gaia? Or free sex?

This story is winging its way around the internet at the moment, but not via the usual methods. Rather, it seems to be passing from blog to blog through their networks of readers. Viral, rather than search engine if you wish. This might make a useful case study for those interested in search engine marketing services , that there are a number of different ways that stories get spread.
