Modest Proposals: MBTA, Brace Yourself for Pole Dancers!
A viral video posted by our brothers and sisters at Gothamist shows some women who pole danced in a train car on a dare from darejunkies.com, much to the chagrin of the MTA. The video is something to behold, although, after seeing all the crotch-grinding and the dubious looks of some of the men enjoying themselves, we wouldn't want to touch anything in that car after the women finished. Here's the video:
Given that this was based on a dare, is there a possibility that an outbreak of pole-dancing might occur on the T? Since Bostonist is all for equal opportunity, is there a possibility of some men taking up the challenge, a la Chippendales? Might darejunkies.com pose a similar challenge for the MBTA? Is the Red Line Backflipper worried about competition? If so, the next time you ride the T, be prepared and bring a few dollars with you--not to mention a bottle of Purell.
