Take a Break from Politics Dept.

Planning Ahead for V-Day

Money quote: (Hat tip for the term, Andrew Sullivan)
"Why would a day that inspires people to buy stuffed dogs that say "I Ruff You" be a good occasion to have sex for the first time?," asks Catherine Price in a Salon piece about Thai police planning to take a break from surveilling the sex trade to concentrate on teenage girls who say they might give up their virginity on Valentine's Day.
Other questions:
Why would you try to prevent sex by sending lusty teens home, out of public view? Since when is it a good idea to take teenagers at their word about things they "plan" to do?
Indeed.
