Copenhagen Mayor Ritt Bjerregaard sent postcards to city hotels warning summit guests not to patronize Danish sex workers during the upcoming conference. Now, the prostitutes have struck back, offering free sex to anyone who produces one of the warnings.

Seems easy enough to find:
Excerpts:
Copenhagen’s city council in conjunction with Lord Mayor Ritt Bjerregaard sent postcards out to 160 Copenhagen hotels urging COP15 guests and delegates to ‘Be sustainable – don’t buy sex’.
“Dear hotel owner, we would like to urge you not to arrange contacts between hotel guests and prostitutes,” the approach to hotels says.Now, Copenhagen prostitutes are up in arms, saying that the council has no business meddling in their affairs. They have now offered free sex to anyone who can produce one of the offending postcards and their COP15 identity card, according to the Web site avisen.dk.
Discrimination
According to the report, the move has been organized by the Sex Workers Interest Group (SIO).
Glenn:
The use of Uncle Sam is an American colloquialism for the public at large, or in this case the taxpayers.
Although in this case, it is applicable to all those footing the bill for this conference, that could have been done using tele-conference.
The rest is on-topic as the husband is “getting something for free”, although not your usual conference “booty”, and he may get more than he bargined for.

“I hear the biggest prostitute of them all, AL GORE, will not be in Copenhagen.”
He only canceled a personal event hawking his new book, shaking hands and eating chips.
“Mr. Gore will still be present in Copenhagen for the climate talks, according to Kalee Krieder, a spokeswoman.”

Come and Plyyourtradenhagen.
I was only referring to the politicians and the climate scientists by that phrase.

Whoa big fella’!
I think you shoulda’ posted that one under “John T”.

COP15 could have a happy ending after all.

With those anagrams hidden “in open sight” within COPENHAGEN, I’m not surprised it was chosen.
Glenn, it appears from your link that ManBearPig is still coming for the sticky wicket sessions.
How fitting, the delegates have prostituted their morality so they might as well indulge in the freebies.

No doubt a complementary, basic package one time offer. They’ll have to pay for the value added data.

“My wife insists on turning the lights off when doing the same thing these prostitutes are offering.”
What are her hours and what does she charge?

It’s good training, that the may need later in life. Customer satisfaction is an important concept, that those in acedemia never learn very well.
If there is any justice, they will need to service whoever their pimp, sells them to, for a pack of smokes.
Brings a whole new non-scientific meaning to the phrase “trick”.
Glenn, I have stayed at the SAS Royal Copenhagen near Tivoli many times. Back in the 90’s, SAS use to offer a complementary night’s stay when flying SAS from Seattle. No other fringe benefits to my knowledge.
Never confuse Libido with Albedo, it’ll always reflect on you badly!
Ian B (08:02:47) :
Well, it’s interesting because there is a strange link between these two things. The ultimate driver of greenism is puritanism; it is an ascetic, sackcloth and ashes philosophy which blames pleasure and comfort for the moral and practical destruction of mankind… and the planet. I believe there is a powerful argument that the anglosphere left in particular is driven, as with the right, by a kind of post-protestantism. “Progressivism” is simply moral fervour- not marxism, as many believe, but a desperate evangelical zeal to reform the lower orders. The model of the authoritarian modern western state is not some kind of marxist derived ideal, but rather the model villages of the nineteenth century, in which the wise factory owner housed his workers and carefully monitored and controlled their moral fibre. And we must remember that many of the anti-libertine restrictions we sadly take for granted today- laws against drugs, booze, prostitution, censorship and so on (and which many conservatives now like to think are eternal traditions of the western world) are the product of the progressive era.
I think your analysis is absolutely spot-on. I wish I had written that piece.
“Gropenhagen” isn’t bad, but the mayor’s “Just say no” message adds another layer of meaning to “Nopenhagen,” which originally meant “Nothing’s going to happen here.”
That’s stuffed the Sydney to Hobart, the gun just went off and everyone just done a u turn and gone north.
i burst out laughing at this one
Dr A Burns (12:46:26) :
However, today for the first time, “Climategate” is bigger than “Climate change”, having exceeded “global warming” days ago.
just unfrigginbelievable!
Thanks Dr.!
“NOTE TO COMMENTERS: keep this thread clean – there’s lots of potential for abuse”
Gee! Ya think?
I know that it will probably be pretty cold in Copenhagen this time of year. It’s telling that they didn’t organize themselves to be in Adelaide or Brisbane where it will be hot and there would have been lots of headlines about drought…
…Poor planning by propagandists, I’d say.
At least the beer will be excellent. Maybe that’s what’s important.
Here’s a billboard or poster those sex workers could put up on their roofs, or in their windows:
“Hey big spenders, spend a little time with us.”
Maybe Copenhagen’s new motto?
This IS clean…. sorta. ☺
A young Copenhagen lass,
Had a magnificent ass.
It was not rosy and pink,
Like you might think,
But was gray, had long ears and ate grass.
Postscript.
The donkey’s name was Al Gore.
