Pimpin’, Hoes, and Craigslist?

January 14, 2007 · Print This Article

Hookers have gone hi-tech! Seems the new craze on Craigslist, a popular user-placed “classified ad” website, is to place adds selling yourself or, in this case, underage girls. FoxNews.com writes:

Two women used the online classified site Craigslist to offer sex with girls in exchange for “donations” or “roses” — code words for money, police said.

Tamara Cotton, 25, and Christina Holt, 19, were arrested separately and were not working together, Cook County Sheriff’s officials said Thursday.

Cotton was arrested Dec. 31 when an undercover officer arrived at her apartment and a 16-year-old girl offered to perform a sex act for $200, according to the sheriff’s department.

The Craigslist CEO, Jim Buckmaster, was quoted as saying the sites erotic categories are for “legal escort services and sensual massage providers.” Hey Jim, that’s prostitution. I guess you haven’t been down on 23rd street where I live or on Regal Rd in Dallas. Chinese Massage Parlor is slang for “jerk you off for 60 dolla.” I think it is even on wikipedia. As for “legal escort services,” get real Jim, how many of those are out there? The one I go to is completely illegal.

The funniest thing about this is that the police spokesman actually used the word pimpin’. You just can’t use pimpin’ enough these days.

    Where the hell have you been? This is NOT news — it’s been going on for over 7 years.

    Here’s the real story… the media is losing money, BIG TIME, because Craigslist is slowly running them out of the classified ads business. THAT is why you are seeing stories all across the country that depict CL erotic services ads as some kind of trendy new cyber crime. It’s called a ’smear campaign’. It’s not about news, it’s about silencing a competitor.

    And you just bought it — hook, line and sinker.

    A smear campaign? So you endorse the fact that these were 15 year old girls showing up?

    Don’t get me wrong.. I am in favor of prostitution. What a woman does with her own body is her own business. She wants to sell a handjob for 10 bucks who am I to bitch. The story is about the UNDERAGE girls… not about Craigs List.
