Much Ado Over Nothing

Posted by on July 3 at 12:57 PM

Looks like PI Columnist Bonnie Erbe worked herself into a lather about nothing: Germany reports very little change in the level of sex work activity during the World Cup. They can’t seem to find any of those thousands of forced prostitutes, either.
I’m not surprised. I heard the same story about the Olympics in Atlanta in 1996, and about various cities hosting the Superbowl. There’s usually some noise about a jump in the sex trade, and strippers and escorts always hope they’re going to bank, but the reality is: business is usually so-so at best. The guys are focused on sports and beer, not sex.

"The guys are focused on sports and beer, not sex." - not mutually exculsive - I'd do Becks (and most of the others for that matter).

What about the Republican Party's National Convention in NYC in 2004? That was another one that there were rumors about.

knowing how the Republican Party is a large group of hipocrits, i wouldn't be supprised if there was a jump there.

Who needs hookers when we've got Craigslist?

I think Bonnie's been getting her information from the Concerned women for America site again...
