Sigh — another strip club publicity stunt. We get so tired of reporting on these.

Strippers plan trip down New Braunfels river

NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas — In the midst of attempts to crack down on raunchy and rowdy behavior during traditional summertime tubing river trips through this city, a San Antonio topless club is planning a tubing excursion featuring strippers.

Trey Maddox, a manager at Palace Men’s Club, said Sunday’s excursion — during which men can pay $25 to join the strippers — isn’t meant to fly in the face of the city’s new rules…

City Councilman Ken Valentine isn’t so sure.

“I’m really disappointed that this is going to occur on Sunday when people should be in church,” he said. “I hope they behave themselves and keep their clothes on, but I’m not sure they will because strippers are trained to take off their clothes.”…

Mayor Bruce Boyer said he thought it was unfortunate that the San Antonio club is taking advantage of the situation “to get free publicity.”
