Sex shops now outnumber supermarkets in Australia.

Maybe Aussies are only eating edible body paint? From News.com.au:

THERE are now more sex shops in Queensland than Coles supermarkets and even the adult industry's own representative body says enough is enough.

The Courier-Mail reports the EROS Association is calling on the State Government to tighten controls on the number of sex shops in Queensland.

But the Government says it has no plans to cap the number of sex stores or introduce a licensing system to regulate the industry.

There are 180 sex shops across the state – easily outscoring the 155 Coles supermarkets and more than double the number of Blockbuster video stores – and many are concentrated in tourist areas popular with families.
