A friend at Fleshbot writes...

Prague's Big Sister internet-enabled brothel has long been high on our list of travel destinations ever since our globetrotting siblings at Gridskipper first bought it to our attention a couple of years ago. (But only from a sociological perspective, you understand, not because we want to boink our way to international notoriety via the dozens of video cameras set up throughout the establishment which broadcast the goings-on to tens of thousands of the site's subscribers.) Short of going to Prague or coughing up a $40 monthly membership to join the website, the best way to see what Big Sister is all about is photographer Hana Jakrlova's Big Sister photodocumentary project...

    I would prefer to do the bear while the hooker watches from the edge of the bed.

  • Garrett Fitzgerald

    According to the domain’s main page, the site has been taken down: they’re asking the owner to contact them for details.

  • Stefan Jones

    If you look real careful, you’ll see that the bear has a coin slot in his left paw.

    .20 Euro for five minutes of . . . I’m sorry, I just plain run out of ideas.

    Nothing turns me on like endless fields of ice and freezing cold water, some big obvious cameras staring right at me, and an enormous fanged Muppet.
