It's Not Stripping... It's Art

An Iowa judge consummated a strip club's end-run around indecent exposure laws, ruling that the club was technically a theatre. I'm still concerned, though, with the idea of underage performers at this don't-call-it-a-strip-club venue... are there laws against underage nude scenes? I've never seen or performed in a show that featured one, so I actually don't know. Surely, at least, they'd require parental consent.
The county's attorney, Margaret Johnson, charged club owner Clarence Judy after a 17-year-old girl climbed on stage at Shotgun Geniez in the tiny town of Hamburg and stripped off her clothing.
"I think it's a little scary," said Johnson, who emphasised that the girl was still a minor.
The club was sold on Monday to Terry Rutledge. He expressed confidence that nude dance would remain legal, referring to a 1998 case that found it an art.

There are always at least two ways of looking at it and if one tries really hard one could make any thing look good or bad, Right or wrong! Where there is a will there may be a way as well, or was that the other way around?
