If you check the sidebar

If you check the sidebar to the right of the article linked below, you can see the other news stories involve exciting rides for paramedics, and the shutting down of a bingo parlor.  When a headline refers to the injured parties as “slightly hurt” you know the news just isn’t that exciting.  Might as well title it “Nothing to see here folks, keep moving along.” But then, right in the middle of the Indianapolis Star - just where you always suspected it would be lurking - you find that city officials are investigating a neighborhood dominatrix just around the corner from the catholic school. 

“Girls Inc. maintains one of its two Indianapolis locations just three blocks away. Girls Inc. serves 3,500 young girls in Marion County.  On her Web site, Donaghy goes by Maitresse Miss Ann of the Dungeon Arts Reformatory....It tells men: “You will find a re-birth by My hand. Do you dare descend My dungeon stairs? Do you dare allow yourself to be this vulnerable, exposed and alive? I am Maitresse Miss Ann, a professional and lifestyle Domina in Indianapolis, Indiana."”

Sounds to me like this is a good chance to try some cross-marketing, if you can say that to the church.  Let’s get the school and the dungeon working together.  Student motivation, faculty enrichment, and alumni gathering place - we’ll all go down those dungeon stairs together and see what Indianapolis can do for our self-esteem.  Anyway, they say that they’re serving 3,500 girls daily just a few blocks away.  Man that makes me hungry just thinking about it.
