Complete Insanity in Germany

The Telegraph - 'If you don't take a job as a prostitute, we can stop your benefits'

Basically, the story is that in Germany if you have been out of work for more than a year they notify prospective employers who will then find you and offer you a job. If you don't take the job you can lose your benefits. A woman was offered a job as a prostitute and turned it down and therefore she could lose her unemployment benefits. You see prostitution is legal and Germany and has no stigma attached to it under the law.
