Brothel Offers Twitter Discount

It probably seemed like a good idea for a British business to offer discounts via Twitter, but, if that business is prostitution, perhaps the totally-public nature of the popular microblogging service is disadvantageous, particularly where prostitution is illegal. A brothel in Milton Keynes, England has done just that: advertising via Twitter. (This link is safe for work)

While the Guardian's own headline suggests that the House of Divine is somehow a Twitter brothel, this does not actually seem to be the case- just a matter of an established business experimenting with new media to bring in more customers.

Do you really want to follow your local prostitutes on Twitter? I mean, it may be more interesting than typical workplace tweets, but it'd get creepy rather quickly.
