Oh my god. This is a contender for one of the funniest signs I've ever read.

They have been on fire since Covid, if their acct gets reinstated I recommend checking it out, or just google search Penthouse Vancouver sign guy. They also published a book of their best work

You’re allowed to say strip club on the internet believe it or not.

u/vaginadeathsquad 19h ago

I like ‘midnight ballerina’ more though! Sounds delicate…

u/jeepsaintchaos 18h ago

I didn't connect the dots and thought it was something really cool, like goth ballerinas dancing to Korn or something.

You may be on to something there.

u/LogiCsmxp 13h ago

They might actually do that some days, just with less clothes than usual for ballerinas.

u/LifeguardDry7372 17h ago

I'd pay for that. Although Korn might not be appropriate

late 90s/early 00s it wasn’t unheard of. korn, white zombie, danzig, manson, limp bizkit, static x… the good ol’ days.

You forgot Mudvayne

u/Squee1396 7h ago

I still listen to Mudvayne

The best stripper I ever saw danced to living dead girl. Sure were the good old days. Now they've closed all the strip clubs near me except for one and it's....it's not worth going to let's just put it that way lol

I still have all those CD's. Except Danzig, idk I couldn't get into that.

u/nionvox 16h ago

I mean it's Vancouver, that could happen. More likely at a Sin City event though :P

Come to a Portland strip club and you might get your wish.

u/rosy_entoloma 19h ago

I appreciate your taste for delicacy, vaginadeathsquad!

u/bullfrogftw 19h ago

Me too, I find it hilarious, and I worked in strip clubs for a decade

30

u/thejoeface 19h ago

I also worked in a stripub for a decade and most of that time I used ballet flats so I also really loved your title

u/Intelligent-Hunt7557 18h ago

Guessing “stripub” was a typo? Would patronize a strip-pub tho!

12

u/meesta_masa 13h ago

I'd rather patronize a strip-pizza joint. Just women walking onto the stage wearing pizza slices and tossing them at patrons.

2

u/thejoeface 9h ago

Lmao yes it's a typo 

2

u/Practical_Maximum_29 6h ago

Honestly, most of the strip clubs I ever visited were basically pubs with strippers/dancers. I think stripub is less of a typo and more a reasonably fairly created portmanteau!

u/thejoeface 5h ago

It didn't really apply to my club since California doesn't allow alcohol in full nude clubs. But we were a pretty comfortably small club that had a dedicated group of regulars.

u/HighwayApothecary 19h ago

it did make me think it was a reference to Swan Lake though

2

u/SGM_Uriel 17h ago

Made me think it was a burlesquery or something

u/Pure_Spinach327 5h ago

Username checks out. LOL!

u/-GoodNewsEveryone 16h ago

You're also allowed to say otherwise without pointing it out believe it or not.

People who make their whole personality policing other people's word choices are a whole new level of cringey as all hell.

u/pogulup 17h ago

Anyone using this censored language gets a downvote from me.

u/bazderoman 16h ago

i mean it's creative, at least it's not str!p mall

u/OneValkGhost 17h ago

Brains are important things to use.

u/EmbarrassedAnnual66 11h ago

Then you are the one policing language choices.

u/Zran 8h ago

Yeah but as a title it would get suppressed for sure.

u/Bigchieflittlechef 4h ago

I literally cannot stand self censorship cowards.

u/crusty54 5h ago

What does it mean?

u/MercyfulJudas 4h ago

It's making fun of Trump. Trump's people tried to clean the pool at the Washington Monument in DC, but made it even more contaminated, then doubled down that he didn't do anything wrong.

Now, Trump has officially renamed Lake Ontario as Lake America.

Hope that helps.

12

u/crusty54 4h ago

Oh yeah I forgot about the lake already. He does so much stupid shit every day that each individual thing only holds my attention for a short while. Thanks.

u/AdmiralPeriwinkle 43m ago

The stupidity is an intentional misdirect from the crime. The whole reflecting pond fiasco was just an illegal payment to a rich supporter.

u/-GoodNewsEveryone 16h ago

This isn't even their funniest sign this year.

u/Mcnuggetjuice 4h ago

Can you explain to me? Is it about that ontario lake? But what pool? I don’t get it.

Sorry I am from europe

6

u/tcrudisi 4h ago

Yes. Lake Ontario was "renamed" Lake America.

The pool is the White House reflecting pool that went from beautiful and naturally maintained to being painted and algae-infested.
