You've Got to Be Kidding Me 

From the "How Stupid Can People Get" files:

LONDON (AFP) - A plan to teach British children the risque art of pole dancing, usually the preserve of strip bars, has been cancelled after an uproar from child welfare groups, the teacher said.

Dance teacher Sarah Davis announced pole dancing classes for children over 12 at her studio in Birmingham, arguing it was a demanding activity which would improve fitness.
...
"At the least this is misguided, at worst it's an outrage," said its chief executive Carole Easton.

Ladies and gentlemen... you are witnessing a first in The World According to Nick. I am speechless. Hat tip to The Agitator for the link.
