Prostitution Goes High Tech:
This is an article from a Milwaukee news station about prostitution on craigslist. It isn’t anything that I haven’t already posted about but I found a quote by an arrested john pretty humorous.
“Jimmy” is a first-timer. He came to the hotel with condoms, cash and a box of candy for his date.
“You went on craigslist?” an undercover officer asked.
“Yes,” Jimmy said.
“You saw the undercover police officer’s ad, you thought she was a prostitute?” an undercover officer asked.
“I didn’t know it was an undercover police officer, obviously,” Jimmy said.
I would imagine that being a hooker or a john on craigslist is like playing Russian Roulette. You never know when someone is going to be a cop or criminal.

I am an American prostitute working abroad. I have used Craigslist when I have traveled back to the U.S. to work and it is very stressful. Because I have always worked out of the country, I’ve never had to worry about police. However, in the U.S., every time a client shows up to your room, you have to go through a process to make sure they’re not police. And the client is thinking the same thing of you, so it’s a little difficult.
Every other country I’ve worked in has had a very relaxed attitude towards prostitution and I don’t see them suffering for it. The U.S. could really learn a lot by looking outside the fishbowl.

Uh, maybe you should try getting a job, Savannah. Maybe even some therapy and self-esteem. You have a brain for reasons other than having it bashed in by some Craigslist nut.
I will never understand you whores.
