If you’re looking for a prostitute on your next trip to Spain, you won’t have to look hard.  Just be on the prowl for a scantily-clad woman wearing a bright orange reflective vest.  Outside the Catalonian town of Els Alamus, Spain, along the LL-11 highway, you’ll find prostitutes wearing reflective orange like traffic workers normally would.  That’s not to identify them as hookers; prostitution is legal in Spain.  Spanish prostitutes are wearing reflective orange vests to identify them as road hazards.

“In the past couple of months the prostitutes have been fined for two reasons: for not wearing the reflective jacket and for creating danger on the public highway,” said police spokesman Mossos d’Esquadra.

Recent legislation had forced prostitutes from Els Alamus to leave the city center and take to the highways.  Under Spanish law, pedestrians on the side of major highways and on hard shoulders have to wear reflective garments or face fines of 40 euros.  Hence, the prostitute-warning vests, rather than prostitute crossing signs.

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
