For years, scantily clad women have been used as fleshy sign-boards to attract customers to roadside stalls selling betel nuts, aka "Taiwanese chewing gum," from shops with names like "Erotic Bitches" and "Moulin Rouge." But on October 15, the county government, embarrassed by the display of public erotica, began enforcing laws prohibiting 1,600 hawkers from unduly exposing certain parts of the female anatomy, specifically breasts, bellies and buttocks. Vendors, of course, claim the restrictions will shrink...
