PAINESVILLE, Ohio -- Remember the "World Famous Chicken Ranch" brothel in Nevada?A Painesville, Ohio, judge does. Judge Mike Cicconetti ordered three men who were busted in a sex sting to put on chicken costumes. The men must take turns wearing a bright yellow, feathered get-up outside the courthouse with a sign saying "No Chicken Ranch in Painesville."The slogan is a take off of the movie, "The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas." The brothel in the movie was known as the Chicken Ranch because during the Depression customers were allowed to pay with poultry.The men were arrested for soliciting sex from an undercover officer. While prostitution is legal in some parts of Nevada, it's not in Ohio.In exchange for the chicken punishment, the judge suspended 30-day jail sentences for each of the men.
