It seems TEH DEEMON SEXXORR has loosed itself upon the good christian folks of Fort Myers Beach.

A South Florida town manager who married a porn star last year was fired at an emergency meeting after the mayor and council members learned about it.

Um...staff picnics are going to be a lot better attended than in the past?

Fort Myers Beach town council voted 5-0 to fire Scott Janke "without cause" after Mayor Larry Kiker called the Tuesday night meeting. "We decided the best thing for all concerned would be to let Mr. Janke go without clothes...er...I mean without cause."

Kiker said he learned one afternoon while doing "research" that Janke's wife is an adult film star, and the elected officials took the action a few hours later. When asked why it took him 'hours' to report to the city council, Kiker responded, "She was in a lot of films, I had to make sure it was her. Is it hot in here?"

"At no time did we make a judgment call on the activities of Mr. Janke or his wife," Kiker told The Associated Press. "It's a matter of how effective he becomes after this situation. How much disruption there is. Cripe, the thing just broke this morning and already half my staff is holed up in their offices with the doors locked. Place looks like a ghost town except for the occasional grunt. I'm not paying to clean those keyboards you guys!"

Kiker said a clause in Janke's contract permitted the council to fire him with a majority vote. He said he considers the Jankes friends. "Especially Mrs. Janke," he added. "In fact I'd really like to sit down with you over a cup of coffee sometime and explain my side of the story. Or maybe a cocktail. Someplace, quiet. Maybe out of town. Call me."

Kiker acknowledged that Janke had violated no rules or laws and added that he had done a good job for the island town that had about 6,500 people. "One of the reasons we brought him here is that there were some divisive problems on the beach," Kiker said. "We wanted him to bring people together."

"But not in that way," he added.

Councilman Tom Babcock, responding to residents' questions, said at a council meeting that Janke was fired because his wife's profession brought an inaccurate image to Fort Myers Beach. "Plus it just got too hard for us to see her around the office when she came to pick up her husband after work," Babacock said. "Wait, let me rephrase that."

"When you become a public figure you are held to a different level of scrutiny and ethics," Babcock said. When a reporter pointed out that Mr. Janke was the public figure, not his wife, Babcock responded, "Did you see her in MILF Mania? How about Cock Pit 4? There wasn't much that wasn't public about her, know what I'm saying...um...not that I'd know...just what I heard...don't have any first hand knowledge...gotta go now."

Attempts to contact council members via e-mail for follow up interviews were unsuccessful because "bandwidth issues" had crashed the city's server.
