Authorities in central Taiwan have turned off the red light at the county’s last legal brothel after the death of its pimp aged 87.

I just really enjoy the term “death of its pimp.”

Prostitution has been illegal in Taiwan since 1997, and licensing of new brothels stopped in 1974, but isolated illegal brothels can be found all over the island. Brothels licensed prior to 1974 were allowed to keep operating.

I almost forgot the best part of this article.

The closure effectively leaves Ai-Le’s two prostitutes, aged 40 and 50, jobless

You really have to feel for these women you know? “So tell us about your skill set.”
