Like A Good Neighbor ... We Provide Hookers?

     This story actually broke back in May of 2011 ... but I just heard about it, as it was one the top viewed videos on the BBC news site maybe two days ago. If you haven't heard about it ... You're in for a treat.
     One of the world's largest insurance companies, Munich Re, admitted to hosting a sex party for 100 of its top salesman at the Gellert Baths in Budapest, Hungary in 2007.

     Seeing as Germans have a need for organization, the women at the party wore color-coded arm bands of red, yellow, and white to inform the men at the party who and what they were there for ... Hostesses who were simply there to chat with the men wore one color arm band, another color was for prostitutes, and the white arm bands were worn by, presumably, uber-slammin'-prostitutes who were reserved for top salesmen and management.

     To add to this, every time a prostitute was ... let's say frequented ... by a man at this little shindig, she had her hand stamped and, according to The Guardian, some of the women were ... ahem ... frequented upwards of a dozen times that night.

     Now I want to know during what meeting did an Ergo executive of Munich Re sit down and say, "Yo, Heinz ... Klaus. You know what is a really good idea? Hookers. Lots of them. Best incentive for our salesmen. Just one giant orgy of a party. Who's in?!"
     And then they just answered, "YAH. YAH. Very good."
     Because, apparently, this party was - without the nitty, gritty, nasty details - advertised as an incentive to get salesmen to sell more insurance --- (Seriously!!?! That's even even smarter idea! Put it in the monthly newsletter!)
     There are just so many things wrong with this story I can't even begin to list them ... Besides the fact that this was the equivalent to social suicide for the company ... I mean who's going to want to buy insurance from people participating in all kinds of risky business - I wouldn't ...
     Then you have these girls ...
     I mean, come on ladies ... I know you're prostitutes and you have a previous work record to worry about ... but being frequented up to twelve times in one night. That's just asking for trouble.
     This was all just pure stupidity ... Self-gratifying stupidity... And, since the story broke back in May, those responsible for planning this Stupidity Show, have been asked to leave the company. And by asked, I mean their asses were fired.

I want to see you smile again like diamonds in the dust. The amazing sound of killing hordes, the day the banks collapse on us. Cease this endless chattering like everything is fine. When sorry isn't good enough, sit in the back while no one drives. (The Amazing Sounds of Orgy - Radiohead)
