You would think that being a stripper is all happy and respectful as showing your breasts and vagina usually is but you’d be wrong. Take, for example, this LA-area stripper who got set on fire yesterday.

An exotic dancer was set on fire outside the nightclub where she worked early Thursday, burning more than 60 percent of her body, police said. They were searching for two suspects.

A woman and a man called the 27-year-old dancer outside around 1 a.m. and then doused her with a flammable liquid next to the Babes & Beer sports club in the San Fernando Valley, police said.

Police identified the suspects as Rianne Celine Theriault-Odom, 27, and Nathaniel Marquis Petrillo, 22, both frequent patrons of the club. They were being sought for investigation of attempted murder, police said.

I would have to guess that this wasn’t quite what the club owners had envisioned when saying that their “strippers are the hottest”. And if it was what they intended, well, then that just doesn’t seem like the best work environment to be in. It’s like whoa whoa whoa I came here because I want to show my tits and cooch to strangers (and occasionally offer a handjob in the back room) for money, not to be disrespected.

I really can’t support this type of awful treatment of our nude Americans though. In this difficult economy, getting to see breasts for a dollar is a great deal and one that we shouldn’t risk subverting. Assholes. Learn to respect women. I mean, so long as they’re willing to take their clothes off for you. Otherwise, meh.
