FBI-costumed stripper with fake assault rifle inspires panic, chaos
Is there anything sexier than a stripper in full FBI regalia, wearing a bulletproof vest, carrying a fake assault rifle?
Technically, yes -- there are many things -- but that didn't stop an FBI-themed stripper from showing up in Frankfurt, Germany's red light district Saturday night. After fielding complaints, a "significant number" of police officers later arrived in the area. The 30-year-old stripper was later found in a table-dance bar, where he revealed that he was, in fact, just in costume.

The rifle itself "had deceiving similarities to a G36 assault rifle," a follow-up police statement read.
Fear not: the stripper was then cleared by police and able to go on with his show. Nothing says FBI agent like a man in a glitter thong.
While the stripper was allowed to proceed, prosecutors in Frankfurt will need to determine whether possession of a rifle replica violates German gun laws.
Currently, the artist doesn't face any charges. But Frankfurt police were circumspect, adding that although the stripper was allowed to perform, they could not attest to the quality of his act.
"Whether his act was a success, is not known," an official statement actually read.
