You Can't Tell the Hookers without a Program

In Bogota, Colombia a new municipal regulation prevents prostitutes working in the zona de tolerancia (zone of tolerance) from wearing mini-skirts or other revealing clothing. It's all an effort to protect the sensibilities of the local residents and maintain the morals of the neighborhood.

Okay, let me get this straight. There is a area in the city specifically for the purpose of letting hookers work there, and in that same zone they cannot dress like a hooker. So, in order to protect the morals of the non-hookers, you make the hookers dress just like them. Now, it seems to me that men are going to be propositioning the highly moral ladies, because they can't tell them from the hookers. Something sounds out of whack here.
