Atlanta’s Summer Heat: Prostitutes in the Street

As a proud resident of Atlanta for over ten years now, I feel it is my duty to apologize to anyone visiting our city this weekend. You probably came here to sample our famous Midtown male prostitutes, only to find that our police department went and arrested them all. I know how dejected you must feel, and for that I am sorry.

The truth of the matter is that our fair city would simply not be as fair without the efforts of the APD, even if they can seem to be killjoys at times. This sting operation is known as “Summer Heat,” and has netted around 50 suspects, even though summer is still a month away. That’s what I call effectiveness!

There’s also something called Georgia H.E.A.T., but I’m not sure if it is the same thing.

The HEAT is on Georgia roads and highways to combat traffic and impaired driving. The Georgia Governor’s Office of Highway Safety and local law enforcement agencies have come together to create H.E.A.T.–Highway Enforcement of Aggressive Traffic.

Unless the Atlanta PD is using male prostitutes to combat drunk driving in some way, there’s going to be an awkward phone call about who had what law enforcement operation names first. Let’s help out by coming up with a few original suggestions for the Atlanta police to use. Here are mine:

• Operation Boner Kill
• Boys in Blueballs
• Operation Hai Boi Haaaaai

Some might say that the police are just a bunch of haters out to ruin a good time. It’s the eternal struggle, really: haters gonna hate, hos gonna ho, and Lance Armstrong is going to get a mention. Yes, you read that right. Our hero Lance Armstrong, known for thrashing those prickly Frenchmen at their own bike race as well as for being a boring interviewee came up in conversation between the Atlanta PD undercover cop and a soon-to-be-arrested male prostitute on a bike. [Video has since been removed. Way to sabotage my post, CBS.]

“Tony,” the alleged prostitute in the video, also appears to be riding without a helmet, and that concerns me. If there’s anything you want in a Midtown male prostitute, it is most certainly a penchant for protection. Stay safe, Tony!

Overall, I’d say this story just goes to show that all types of people enjoy cycling. Sex workers and undercover police are no exceptions!
