Most Awesome Pub in the World!

The Fitzroy Saint Hotel bar in Saint Kilda, Victoria, has caused uproar in the past for hiring a dwarf to pour drinks down patron’s throats, but it doesn’t end there! In a raunchy ad last week, women who took off their panties in the bar got free $50,- drinks cards and if they flashed their bra’s or panties they got free drinks!

For some reason more uproar and this event got cancelled 🙁 Of course it’s hardly surprising that the stopping power consisted of two uptight ugly 75 year old prim virgins. OK I don’t know about the last part, but the bitches come across that way in the article.
