Sex, Brothels, & Soccer - Madam In Larissa Sponsors Local Team (VIDEO)

Surfing the web this week for an awesome Offbeat story we found out that Larissa has devised a unique way to market some of its services. The city, just like any other major city across Greece, hosts scores of soccer teams, but it is also home to several well-known brothels. Well one such amateur team, or the "Voukefalas Soccer Team" was in desperate need to find sponsors, and guess who decided to pay the tab? Why the city's two leading brothels of course! The brothels, which are also suffering from the credit crunch, felt the need to advertise their services and what better way than to sponsor an amateur soccer team! The players were then obligated to wear a bright pink uniform with the names of Madam Soula Alevridou's two love shacks, or rather the "Villa Erotica" and "Soula's House of History" (which sounds more like a folklore museum than a brothel!). We could just imagine how these young boys must of felt everytime they had to wear these shirts and head on to the field where they would probably have to compete with other (testosterone-loaded) jocks. (my my... ) On her part, Madam Soula insists the investment is not a ploy to attract new customers (ok... we believe her), the reason she said is because she really wanted to help the team. Although prostitution is legal in Greece, or rather licensed brothels are (and government regulated), soccer league organizers did not really take a liking to the idea and have banned the uniforms from the games claiming that it violates "sporting ideals and is inappropriate". Soula's business must be booming, because her thousand euro investment is now going to increase ten-fold in the weeks and months to come. Wonder if the players get a rebate... hmmmm....
