    In today's news ::) .. a desperate LFS owner has decided to 'boost' flacid sales by walking around topless in her aquarium store for black friday. :dozey:

    AUSTIN (KXAN) - North Austin tropical fish and aquarium store owner hopes to pick up business on Black Friday by going topless.
    Caroline Estes, owner of Amazonia Aquariums , hopes that the publicity will help boost sales.
    Her store, opened in 1992, recently moved. Between the recession and the move, sales are down. "I'll save my business with whatever it takes," said Estes.

    I would be very upset to walk in with moy son to see this. I would never do buisness again at this store. I might think it was funny but not as a family store. I make this hobbly a family event and if we went into see this her struggling buisness would be struggling that much more without me as a customer. Not a smart move on her behalf. Maybe she will start offering happy endings with ever order over 100 too. This is a discrase to the lfs industry.

    Maybe offer some beers in addition to the guns. Topless women, guns, beers, and fish. Awesome trip if you ask me.

    that is what I was thinking! I think breasts are part of every family in America... I think the American aversion to them is very odd. I've yet to meet a family that didn't include breasts. It's just boobs. Any sexual connotations are in the viewers mind. It's not like she's sexing it up in the store! embarrassing all the fishies.

    I am also wondering why the address is photoshopped to the sign...

    I love the opaque windows. Adds all the class of a gentleman's club. Sounds like it is right up her alley.

    she has to by law. if it's a private business, she has every right to do this, but because it's in public she has to cover the windows from passerby. i.e. you have to go in to see and at which point you are on private property.

    but, nevertheless, you are right and that is funny! ;D
