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"

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

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 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.

I always thought that limericks were supposed to have some certain format and cadence. Subby has corrected my ignorant ways.

All the things that he did sloppy
Like meter and rhyme

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.

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."

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.

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.

Their trys at Lim'rick are searing.
But when push comes to shove,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
