  If you are a boy with longer hair, bad hairstyle or a shocking haircut you will be refused entry into Sydney nightclubs. Pontoon Bar and Home nightclub promoters say the ban on sporting hairstyles such as "rat's tails" and "step haircuts" was a bid to stop violence. In their defense the "rat's tails" haircut seems to be the worst haircut out there.

The club owners feel the way someone wears their clothes, the way their hair is done and their attitude gives a very good indicator of how they will behave in a social gathering. Club promoter Milos Rsovac the man behind the ban says, "And we find that those with bad attitudes tend to have those types of haircuts. Our major concern is about the patrons. If you want them to come back every week, you've got to make them feel safe." No, you don't get any discounts if you are bald and want to enter the nightclub.

  Who would have thought a nightclub would be the target of threats and violence by Muslim extremists all because of a name? After receiving Jihadist threats owners of 'Le Meca'(Spanish for Mecca) announced that they would change the name of the nightclub. It doesn't stop with the name, to further appease the extremists the owners have agreed to remove a fake minaret and a half moon symbol.

The threats published on the internet included a video on Youtube which called on the Arab world to boycott Spain because of the presence of a nightclub with the Mecca name. The nightclub's webpage was also hacked after the popular nightclub reopened on August 18 after being closed for 20 years. The owners have now started a competition to look for a new name for the nightclub. More...
