(Some Guy) Fail There once was a prostitution sting in Limerick, the men did expose their prick, many were deposed, the cops names did expose, but none were funny as the article's use of "bone banging reality"   (independent.ie) divider line 146

Heh... The wife and I used to live above a "spa" in Dublin back in the 90s.

I introduced my upstairs neighbor to the joys of drinking out on the front steps in the summer time, but that only lasted a couple of days as the pimp who ran the spa asked us to stop drinking on the front steps as we were "scaring away his customers".

Most of the girls were Scottish, Polish or Bulgarian, oddly enough.

The headline's meter's a crime
'Cause greenlights should always be prime
So I shall take charge
And summon MaxxLarge
Whose limericks are always sublime

If we, like so many have done, turn the prostitutes into the targets, the happy hookers who just love to service our male population, we ignore the fundamental truth that behind each of these sexual transactions is abuse.

How is a woman that chooses to engage in sex work of her own free will being abused? I agree that there needs to be aggressive prosecution of human trafficking, but it seems like forcing the industry (which is not going away, ever) to remain a criminal enterprise basically guarantees that the women involved have no legal protection or recourse.

Too much words in line one
Your limerick could have been fun
But you shortened line two
And your mistake count grew
The lines the last rhymed with were none
 
2011-12-19 11:23:38 AM
Subby's failed headline attempt
will get all of Fark's poets bent.
His rhyme scheme was lame,
his joke just the same,
and his meter was all over the farking place.

jaylectricity: Too much words in line one

Jaylectricity attempted to show
how a limerick attempted should go
he started with turds
that he bashed into words
and then screwed up the meter so the whole thing didn't work like it should, you know.
 
2011-12-19 12:21:57 PM
God damn, subby fails hard at limericks.
 
2011-12-19 12:22:32 PM
Are you interested in beastiality?
Girls with physical abnormality?
Well then come on down
to Limerick town
Where your dreams are a bone banging reality!
 
2011-12-19 12:22:44 PM
Well, at least the comments have decent limericks. Take note Failmitter.
 
2011-12-19 12:23:09 PM
Tag is for headline. Still, I LOL'd.
 
2011-12-19 12:23:16 PM
I always thought that limericks were supposed to have some certain format and cadence. Subby has corrected my ignorant ways.
 
2011-12-19 12:23:35 PM
In subby's manner I did copy
All the things that he did sloppy
Like meter and rhyme
Were for him were did crime
But the grammar was simply loopy

We must not sit back and turn a blind eye to a crime that trades women and children, writes Joanna Kiernan

I agree. No trade should be allowed to write Joanna Kiernan. Stop the insanity today! Demand that your local pimps and hos stop writing Joanna Kiernan immediately, or run them out of your neighborhoods! If we all pull together, Joanna Kiernan will once again have a manageable inbox on her desk and she will be free to write insipid, shallow news articles without the influence of the sex trade plugging up her works.

No puedo contar uno-dos-trés

Gosling was once a Farker
Whose limerick skills were starkers
He could think of no more
When he got to line four
 
2011-12-19 12:27:10 PM
There once was a man from Japan
Whose limericks never would scan.
When asked why this was,
He replied "Well, because
I always like to try to fit as many words into the last line as I possibly can."

this thread has gave me a smirk,
I had to log in, and give this a spin

I have no trouble with regulated prostitution. Like war, it has a history as long as human civilization and there is no sign of it going away. The problem comes in that making it all illegal, there is more of a chance for women and children to be trapped into it. Like the farker that said most of the hookers in Dublin he saw were Polish and Bulgarian. They may have been lured to Ireland with the promise of decent job, than had their passports stolen and forced into that. If it was a regulated industry, then it would be less likely people would frequent places that dealt in the more disgusting sides of the sex trade.

Unyon put into type,
a verse twice-removed from this tripe.
Only half-chewed, this obstructing food,
hath lodged deep inside my wind pipe.

When you encounter a limerick on Fark,
Be prepared for someone to bark.
If the meter's all wrong,
Go back to your bong,
And await the spectacular snark.
 
2011-12-19 12:31:41 PM
The farkers at Fark are endearing,
Their trys at Lim'rick are searing.
But when push comes to shove,
Below or above,
At Boobies I'd rather be leering.

Wrong. The more disgusting side would just cost more. As you say, it has all been going on forever, and there is no sign that it will ever go away. Regulation would simply drive the illegal stuff further underground and jack the prices up.

Sybarite: If we, like so many have done, turn the prostitutes into the targets, the happy hookers who just love to service our male population, we ignore the fundamental truth that behind each of these sexual transactions is abuse.

this quote from the article has got to be the worst written paragraph I've had the misfortune of reading this year. for the life of me i can't figure out where the author is going.

In future, this thread shall be fabled
Though subby's img1.fark.net is labeled
By his/her own tag
But it's quite a drag
That voting isn't enabled.

Balchinian: Regulation would simply drive the illegal stuff further underground and jack the prices up.

Which would make it more out of reach for more men, which would reduce the size to the trade. Plus with regulation, prostitutes would have to get regular health checkups in order to keep their license, so there is less risk of spreading VDs. Plus they could tax the heck out of it, more revenue for the state.

I can't see a "lose" here other than some hopelessly unrealistic religious morals thing.

There once was a man named Bertold
Who drank beer when the weather grew cold
As he reached for his cup...
"NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP!!"
Oh snap, you just got limerick-rolled!

I'm not a professional writer
Just sort of a regular liter
But I must say I think
That the headline did stink
Burn it up with a cigarette lighter

it filled we farkers with dread
but posts contain pics
of hot red-head chicks
and all is well with the world.

Meh, fighting prostitution is like fighting a "war on drugs" -- both drugs & prostitution have existed basically forever because (for some people at the some times) they are intensely enjoyable vices.

Trying to fight against that fact will just create a lot of useless social drama and more messed-up lives.

The girls in this pic are a tease
Their cup sizes are easily b's
I'd give them a jump
if not for one bump
I cannot abide with sharp knees

If all the girls were willing participants instead of essentially slaves, I'd agree with you

Well, then attack *that* problem. It's possible to make a law against (say) pimping without outlawing prostitution itself. Casting too-wide of a net is probably not productive.

That girl on the right side of the picture has a skewed belly button. WTF? Why is it two inches off-center?
 
2011-12-19 01:02:51 PM
Some of the men have been described by a local Limerick solicitor as suicidal, and in a way you have to feel for them: we have all made mistakes.
Like that nasty looking hooker you paid - ugh


. . . foreign children taken from their home countries and forced to have sex with Irish men.
Ever wonder where the phrase "Whiskey Dick" came from?

It's a well intentioned article though.
