We hope this doesn't change Just For Laughs

“Group sex club patrons swinging free” reads the title of an article that’s burning up the WWW about how the Supreme Court of Canada lifted a ban on swingers’ clubs, ruling that group sex among consenting adults is neither prostitution nor a threat to society.

The “echangistes” (French for “swingers!”) are all atwitter because now they can go to their favorite swing clubs and engage in consensual sex in a group with one or more other people without having to worry about Jean Law poking his billy club into the pile! (We were particularly amused by one of the story’s subheads, “Gang Bang Tuesdays!” We fear that a wavelet of comedy club owners will arrive earlier in the week for this year’s JFL, forsaking the strip clubs for Gang Bang Tuesdays!)

Our attention was also snagged by this bit of scene-setting, a description of one of Montreal’s more popular swing clubs:

The club is housed in an elegant but aging two-story house on a busy street. The ground floor has mismatched sofas and chairs, scant lighting and framed photographs on the walls depicting scenes of mild sexual bondage.

Substitute “the Bud Light Girls” for “scenes of mild sexual bondage” and you’ve perfectly captured half the comedy condos in America! Now, if you’ll pardon us, we must go shower.
