I'll Have a Tall Half-Caf Latte With Skim Milk and a Flash of Breast

The Fox affiliate in Seattle breathlessly reports that "bakini baristas" in Everett, Washington, were "caught selling more than just coffee." Evidently hot caffeinated beverages are not the only attraction at drive-through coffee stands run by sexy women in bikinis. (In its next exposé, Q13 Fox will reveal that customers do not go to Hooters just for the food.) In "the culmination of a two-month investigation by the Everett Police Department," five women are accused of carrying the concept a little too far by baring boobs, butt, and bush for bonus bucks. Police charged them with violating the city's adult entertainment ordinance and with "multiple counts" of prostitution, which in Everett is defined broadly enough to include "any touching of the sexual or other intimate parts of a person" for money. The women face up to 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine on each count.

The intro to the TV report, which tells a story the ostensibly shocked correspondent declares "unbelievable," promises to let viewers watch as "a camera catches a local bikini barista baring it all." But all you get is a blurry shot of a fishnet-clad chest. What do you expect for nothing?
