The male strip club Swinging Richards, which opened in Atlanta back in 1996, expanded to a North Miami Beach location last month. Now local residents are in an uproar because of the club's name; a clever take on "Swinging Dicks". They're adamant that they have no issue with the establishment being a gay strip club, insisting that it's the name that bothers them.

Here's something to think about: what about those who don't know or care about what a "Swinging Richard" is? Isn't all of this commotion just bringing more attention to the situation? That's the opposite of what residents want, right? If they're really bothered by it, they should keep it off their collective radar. Far off.
