Cops impound the Detroit Lions' secret weapon - the Booty Bus

The Detroit Lions are 5 and 0. Maybe that's because they've found a whole new way to put the "tail" in tailgating. Until this week anyway. Parked outside of Ford Field was The Booty Lounge - a mobile strip club on a bus. Fans paid $10 a head to climb aboard for a show featuring topless dancers. Yeah, it was a hit.

So naturally, with the Lions emerging from their usual vortex of suckitude, the cops swooped in to shut the booty bus down.

Police say it was cited for not having a state safety inspection and because the driver didn't have a commercial license.

Sounds like the Crime of the Century to me. No safety inspection! I'll just bet that the cops were lined up to inspect the dancers. For their own safety, of course.

Bus operator Joe Parsons noted that Detroit has no ordinance against "mobile entertainment clubs."

The bus has been a fixture on the Lions' tailgating scene in Detroit's Eastern Market district since 2005. But, "Apparently the city of Detroit, now that the Lions are winning, wants to put license and regulations (on the bus)," Parsons said.

Well yeah. That's what politicians do.
