University of Idaho Vandals Football was embroiled in some controversy this week when it announced it would be getting rid of their 'too skimpy' cheerleader outfits (above) in favor of something more modest.

According to the school's dean of students, many fans complained that the new cheerleading outfits were too revealing. They will now delve into a $3,000 'private fund' to buy the cheerleaders some outfits with longer skirts and shirts. I don't really see any difference in the Idaho cheerleader uniforms compared to today's NFL cheerleader uniforms though, but I guess Idaho is a long way from the NFL. (Even if Boise State's blue turf is screaming for attention.) What is U of Idaho's problem? Aren't they supposed to be 'Vandals'? Real vandals wouldn't care what people thought of skimpy uniforms, they would be too busy raping, pillaging, and sacking Rome.

Darren Rovell at CNBC postulates that the swap for more modest clothing could lead to some surprising revenue loss:

It's interesting to look at how the Wall Street crisis influences so many different sectors of the economy.

The NY Post had a short item in this morning's paper about strip clubs being affected. Wow, they have truly mastered the power of alliteration:

WALL Street's financial crisis has trickled down to Manhattan's mammary meccas. A source tells us jiggle joints all over the city are seeing a drop in business, with fewer customers, less bar traffic and a drop in lap dances. "The strippers at Penthouse Executive Club are all moaning and groaning," one insider tells us. "They say they aren't making anything at all since the market crashed."

Manhattan's mammary meccas, jiggle joints? Genius. Although they forgot 'boob buildings', 'D-cup domiciles', and 'nipple nebula'.

But as unfortunate as it is for Manhattan's residents to get frugal with their paid toplessness, what's it like for the rest of the country? We'll take a look at one unfortunate recent anecdote that's too weird to ignore.

Ever since the Eliot Spitzer scandal, the story of the high-end prostitute has been on the tip of everyone's tongue. I wouldn't be surprised if a major motion picture came out sometime in the next few years with a similar story. Actually, that should probably be a definite.

Next month, Radar Magazine has an intense 5-page feature story coming out written by a young woman in New York named Jessica Pilot. Although, I'm not sure if any of it is real , she offers some amazing details of a world that seems too genuine to be a complete lie.

You can read the full story at the website, but here's one excerpt from a conversation Ms. Pilot had with a young high-end prostitute. You tell me if you think it's entirely possible some Wall Street hedge fund dude is capable of something like this:

In-flight pornography ahoy!

American  Airlines has finally stepped up to the plate and now offers internet access to its unhappy, cramped, hungry, and well-paying passengers.

In an effort to name the service one of the dumbest things ever, American Airlines has settled on referring to it as 'Gogo' mobile broadband. Terrible.

Biz Journal has the 411 on the new features that get you surfing in the sky:

The service is available to passengers taking nonstop flights from New York to San Francisco, New York to Los Angeles and New York to Miami. Once the flights with Gogo access reach 10,000 feet, passengers can access corporate virtual private networks, e-mail, instant messaging and the Web using their laptops, smart phones and PDAs. For a fee of $12.95, passengers get full access to the broadband service.

Ouch, almost 13 bucks. Is it worth the price?

"Now it's time for you to show us your assets, Joe."

Joe Francis, the ultimate douche and founder of the Girls Gone Wild video series, is currently facing charges from the IRS that he deducted $20 million worth of fraudulent expenses from his corporate tax returns.

For Joe the worst case scenario would be a conviction leading to a maximum of 10 years in prison. Even the best case scenario if he is acquitted could see the IRS coming for tons of back taxes with interest.

Here's a little 4-step recap of the GGW mogul's past legal problems:

It seems that the cooler the product, the more fun the advertising. Hence beer and condom ads being great, while prune juice, Depends diapers, and used car ads being just disgusting and sad.

Here are 14 of our favorite condom advertisements in print. Stay tuned for a list of condom tv commercials to come (!) later.

1.) Does Anyone Really Use Flavored Condoms? [Billy Boy]

Having trouble selling your house in this crappy housing market? Why not let an online escort service look after it for a little while?

In what's probably the worst case scenario for selling your home, a suburban housewife in Georgia was having some difficulty and as a last resort hired a "home staging company".

I'd never heard of this before, but apparently these "home stagers" take your house and pay someone to live in it, maintain it, and show it off to potential buyers for you. Sweet gig on it's own, right? Turns out the woman they hired for this house had other more "hooker-y" plans in mind. This thing is unreal!

I realize it's a little long, but it gets really good when they start to confront the lame escort undercover at 3:00 minutes into the video (plus further analysis after the jump):

Check out this interesting Guinness commercial that recently surfaced. Apparently Guinness denies making it and had nothing to do with it. Maybe they were just drunk? Further analysis after the jump.

"Do you have your safe sex license on you?"

A Brooklyn guy's identification card service idea has been getting some major street cred lately. The service allows potential partners to check up on your sexually transmitted history using an ID number and PIN code process similar to checking a bank account.

The service is becoming popular in the form of "would-be hook-ups" requesting to see the ID before hopping in the sack. Better have that info at the ready, son.

It's kind of bizarre, but the program already has over 15,000 people nationwide signed up and registered. The service, called STFree, requires a one-time $19.99 fee that allows members to join.

According to a report in the New York Daily News, there's a 'van' you can sign up for all this in:

For the first time in recent history, it looks like porn sales are being affected by the economy.

According to Clusterstock, the porn industry was always thought to be this unstoppable recession-proof force. Much like alcohol and tobacco, people wouldn't stop buying even if they were completely broke.

Looks like that conventional wisdom is going the way of so many soiled pieces of computer equipment. In a recent article, WIRED interviewed the president and founder of Wicked Pictures to find out what's happening with the state of the industry. Things don't look good:
