Corner Cases Example

Here's a perfect one:
1)German employment law states that if you've been unemployed for over a year then you must take any job offered to you.
2)In a bid to cut down on the trade in women and other mistreatment of prostitutes, Germany has legalised brothels.

Can you guess what the end result of this is?

Read about it here.

I'm looking forward to reading your responses to this one :->

Given that the law would presumably potentially force people to work in the defense industry, or for a tobacco manufacturer, I have no additional moral qualms about it forcing people to work in the sex industry. (Though does it really only apply to women? "any woman under 55 who has been out of work for more than a year can be forced to take an available job – including in the sex industry – or lose her unemployment benefit." -- only applying to women seems odd.)

Nope, that sodding law applies to everybody.
