OK Guys -- I don't know how many of you discussing this article seriously knew this but THIS ARTICLE IS NOT TRUE.

Look on Snopes.com :

http://www.snopes.com/media/notnews/brothel.asp

This news article is an "urban legend". At least, the article written was a hypothetical but never actually occurred. Read the snopes guys!

Snopes gets TONS of mojo.

You won't (or maybe you will) believe the amount of hoaxes and scams that get sent to me (mostly from my parents) via email. If it sounds a bit too strange to be true (i.e. there's a computer virus that's "causing panic in New York" but you haven't heard of it on the news...), then check it out on snopes

FYI for those of you that havent been to the site, they have a whole section on Disney urban legends which are fascinating.

I am a Snopes devotee. Nothing better than seeing the face of some paranoid co-worker fall when you bring up a page proving their latest paranoid rumor false

Well, it's brand new. The Snopes entry wasn't made until this weekend.
