Why I Hate Dark Bars/Clubs

The Belgian city of Antwerp is to dim its new waterfront lights after complaints from prostitutes.

Sex workers complained the bright lights were putting off potential clients.

"We had some remarks from the prostitutes that there was too much light, both for them and the clients," city council spokesperson Jorn Verbeeck said.

Prostitutes complained to city and police officials that the lights did not give them enough privacy and hurt business, he said.

The real reason, of course, being that they're ugly prostitutes and are in need of "privacy" to hide that fact.
