Wow, imagine something called "erotic services category" being about
prostitution. Who would have though that! :P

Yeah, that would be like going to an adult book store and finding
books by Faulkner, Hemingway, Twain and Shakespeare. Geez, that would
be a shock.

It would be in a shock in a red state. In Texas, "My Little Goat" will be

The US classified ads website Craigslist says it will remove its
erotic services category, following claims it promotes
prostitution.
Law enforcement officials have said prostitutes and clients use
the site for illegal sexual encounters.
In place will be a new adult services section that will be
closely monitored.
"We are optimistic that the new balance struck will be an
acceptable compromise," Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster said.
"Sued"
In recent months the spotlight has been turned on the San
Francisco company, following a series of high-profile cases.
The one that gained national attention involved Phillip Markoff,
23, who has been charged with killing a young woman who offered
her services as a masseuse on Craigslist.
Julissa Brisman, 26, was found shot dead in a hotel room in
Boston last month.
The was widely convered in the media, with Mr Markoff being
dubbed the "Craigslist Killer."
Earlier in the year, the site attracted the attention of a
number of law enforcement officers.
One of the most vocal critics of the erotic services adverts was
an Illinois sheriff who sued the site in a federal court.

A) Irrelevant to rec.arts.tv. Completely irrelevant.
B) Why is the government in your country sticking its noses into
peoples' bedrooms and generally being a busybody?

The crime here being murder, not sex. There is nothing wrong with sex,
except if someone is non-consenting.

On the local TV news last night they reported on this and then followed
it with a report on where the hookers are expected to be hanging out,
now that they can't advertise on Craigslist. They teased those stories
at least three times during the Lost broadcast too.
Apparently, prostitution services are very important to the local
economies in Southern California. I had no idea.

It is NOT prostitution.. it is two adults dating and having such great
sex that one partner (usually the male) feels that they need to show
their gratitude in the form of cash. How is that different than
match.com. All those ladies are welcome at http://www.funwithgina.com
It is 100% free ...

Police in Montlake Terrace, Wash., are on the lookout for three women
suspected of going on a crime spree that, to go by the Seattle Times's
account, might have included prostitution, fraud, theft and reckless driving.
It also started when four "incredibly" drunk men decided "to pool their money
and hire an escort from Craigslist early Saturday morning."
"They found a woman whose picture they found appealing and called," according
to Sgt. Doug Hansen, a Montlake Terrace detective. She and two friends showed
up, but the men "found that none of them looked like the woman in the ad. The
women were described vaguely to police as being 'larger and thicker' than the
female pictured in the Craigslist ad."
The alleged victims nonetheless handed over their money, whereupon one of the
ladies asked if she could use the bathroom. Instead, "women ducked into a
bedroom and started rooting around for things to steal, including a Blackberry
and some jewelry, Hansen said." The suspects then fled, and one of the victims
"was run over when he tried [to] block the women from driving off."
As a public service, we're reprinting the description of the suspects:
The suspects were all described as being about 5-feet-8, white
and "chunky," in their late 20s, possibly from Tacoma. One had
curly, wavy brown hair and called everyone "baby," the men told
police. The second had lip piercings and stringy brown hair.
The third had short, sandy blond hair, according to police.
While trying to describe the suspects to police, the men decided
to rate the women on a scale of 1 to 10. Three said the women all
rated a "2." But the man described by police as the most
intoxicated disagreed and claimed they rated a "4."
That discrepancy is easy enough to explain: The drunkenmost dissenter was
seeing double.

i assume a similar explanation is why this reply to a May 25th post
took this long to write.

No, that's just projection on your part.

It is simply breathtaking to watch the glee and abandon with which
the liberal media and the Angry Left have been attempting to turn
our military victory in Iraq into a second Vietnam quagmire. Too bad
for them, it's failing.
