Denver’s official city cable channel has a new line-up of sorts.

Starting July 25, the station will run a “sin bin” program featuring the mug shots of cuffed prostitutes and their busted clients.

“If we can’t convict you to get you to change your ways, maybe we can embarrass you and get you to change your ways,” Denver Mayor Wellington Webb said.

Photos will also be available on the city’s Web site, http://www.denvergov.org.

One lady of the night, who was sentenced this week to year in jail, scoffed at the Mile High City’s low-down attempt.

“Shaming has never done anything for anyone who has nowhere to go,” she told the Denver Post.

A Dutch man with stinky tootsies had to foot a $245 fine after removing his shoes in a college library, said a local press report.

Magistrates in The Hague yesterday sprayed drown the 39-year-old Rotterdam man with a minor pecuniary penalty after he broke a rule by removing his shoes inside a Holland campus library, the newspaper Het Financieele Dagblad said.

The judges hearing the case “decided his sweaty feet smelled so bad he was a public nuisance,” the daily paper said.

A city in western Mexico has banned swearing in public, slapping fines of up to $400 or jail terms of 36 hours for uttering “bad words.”

The city council in Zapopan, a suburb of Guadalajara with 1.2 million inhabitants, approved the law Wednesday, and already residents are wondering what it means. The law doesn’t define “bad words,” leaving it up to police to decide which utterances are against “morals and good customs.”

Outside Zapopan’s Roman Catholic basilica, 17-year-old Pedro Castellanos Martinez said he always swears when he plays soccer. “I do it without realizing it,” he said. “It’s just for fun. We don’t insult one another in anger, just playfully.”

Martinez’s mother, Rosario, said if the law were enforced she would have to pay daily fines for her son’s outbursts.

Two Florida towns in the Fort Lauderdale area grappled for supremacy over the Fourth of July when the two mayors took their case to the mats in a tag-team tussle called “Mayor Smackdown.”

Davie Mayor Harry Venis, a professional wrestler, and his partner “Taskmaster” Kevin Sullivan looked to twist the Sweetwater team of Mayor Jose “Pepe” Diaz and “Thunder Heart” Joe Gomez into pretzels.

But with the crowd shouting “Pepe! Pepe!” Diaz pulled off the upset, pinning Venis, also known as “Vicious Vinnie.”

The match raised money for the Jorge Mas Youth Center’s ballet program.
