Why are the operator's "identities" surprising? It was a business, if I were running a business I'd want people who can treat it as such working for me too.

"We don't know much about people who run brothels, massage parlors or escort agencies," said Ronald Weitzer, a sociology professor at George Washington University who has written about the sex industry.

They are greedy, amoral/immoral, and willing to break the law to make money. Same as drug dealers, money launderers, tax cheats, etc. Mmmmmmkay?


and most CEOs/corporate executives?

Nonsense. All good criminal enterprises are run by borderline insane, coke huffing thugs.

So ... four ringleaders shared $1 million over 3 years. That's a whopping $83K/year for each of them, assuming that's $1 million in profits, not $1 million "taken in" before paying the girls or buying plane tickets.

Guess that aging hipster spent all his money on the car ...

I'm a little disappointed in these guys.

So how many lives are being ruined by the government for what is essentially a victimless crime (unless you count the Spitzers, the managers and the whores for not having a job anymore)

These WOMEN (full growed, not children) know exactly what they are doing. They do it because it affords them more free time and affords them travel and excitement.

I have no more to say on this matter. Oh, and now I see federal tax dollars on being spent on this... not on things like dragging the ruling asshat to the gas station and beating him for every penny that is being spent on that stupid farking war and not on controlling my gas prices.

I see Fark's resident rabid democrat is here.

Let's all give a warm welcome to cubsfan07, who never fails to post horse masturbation in any thread with "Spitzer" in the title.

How much would legal prostitution cut down on the incentive to get married?

/Besides, all the vice crimes (prostitution, drugs) are a great source of income for too many people to be legalized.

"Resident rabid democrat"? Are you sure you're thinking of the right Farker? Any references you'd like to cite, or are you just randomly labeling people today? In that case, how about I call you Fark's resident communist necrophiliac antique store owner?


And that's a picture of BEATING A DEAD HORSE. But, since you're thinking about manually masturbating a horse, I guess we all know where you're coming from.

I'm guessing not much, sleeping with the local bar slut is totally legal but guys get married after doing that. I don't think that many of the married guys going to prostitutes would immediately dump their wives and go strictly prostitute only if it were suddenly made legal either. Many might stop having sex with their wives but they would probably stay married.

As Fark's actual resident communist necrophiliac antique store owner, I'm really getting a kick out of some of these replies.

Really, I'm just extrapolating from the fact that you've posted that "beating a dead horse" graphic in just about every Eliot Spitzer thread, even the ones where it was still breaking news.

In fact, in the orginal thread announcing it, you posted a "hero" tag for Mr. Spitzer:

Now it seems that every single thread that mentions Spitzer, you post that graphic. Yet you called him a hero.

What other conclusion could I reach, but that you are a partisan hack? I mean, the only people really embarassed about this are those who have an ideological investment in Spitzer and his policies.

I could very well be wrong, but I don't recall you posting that graphic in threads referring to "wide stance republicans". Show me some evidence that you have done that, and I will retract my statement, with an apology.

The problem is that I am not communist, not a necrophiliac (although I have cracked a necro joke on occasion), and do not, nor have I ever, owned an antique store. And aside from the occasional "Cold Ethyl" joke, you couldn't find any evidence on Fark that I was any of those things, while my guess about you, based on your own submissions, is at least a plausible reading.


And that's a picture of BEATING A DEAD HORSE. But, since you're thinking about manually masturbating a horse, I guess we all know where you're coming from.

I'd be more worried about where the horse is coming from...

See, I can joke too!

Wow. I sarcastically posted a HERO tag for a politician who buys hot prostitutes, and suddenly I'm a "partisan hack".

24 hours later, the Fark that I knew and loved had been overrun with thread after thread about Spitzer, as if every time anyone who ever knew the governor farted in the wrong direction it would get a front page headline.

I wasn't complaining about the neverending Spitzer greenlights because I was defending the governor, I did it because after the first 5 f*cking headlines it was getting a little out of hand here. Christ, I'd never even heard of Eliott Spitzer and now I couldn't forget him (or his whore) if I tried.

Your oversensitivity, lack of sense of humor and overeagerness to jump on the first person who appears to disagree with your own views would lead me to believe that YOU are the "partisan hack". I have no party affiliation, and I dare you to go find one thread where I vehemently defend Spitzer or seriously flame someone from the other side of the aisle. Yes, you'll certainly find plenty of comments where I make fun of politicians, but you're not going to find me rigourously defending/opposing anyone. I've equally made fun of Bush/Spitzer/Clinton/Paul/Kucinich all in the same day.

Let me ask you something: When you're reading comments on Fark, does it look like this? :

As Don Rickles would say, "Why don't you go move up in the mountains and quit bothering people?". Save your political douchebaggery for some call-in AM talk show.

Ain't this somethin'? I told my pap and mam I was coming to Fark to post and be an online man. Acted like they was gut-shot. Says, "son, make your life go here. Here's where the peoples is. Them online communities is for animals and savages." I said, "Mother Ditty, Fark is the marrow of the world." And by God I was right.

I went to that "elite NJ boarding school" with the Operations Manager...I'm wondering why they didn't send this article out to all the alumni like they did with the last alumna that made the NY Times.

Kinda funny...not gonna lie.

So, the dispatcher has a lit degree from UVa?

Well, you know, with a lit degree it's pretty hard to find a real job. I say "congrats" to putting that diploma to good use.

I wonder if UVa is going to add her to their "successful alumni" list in their recruitment/fundraising materials?

Who cares about Spitzer, he's done and facing time at club fed.

From the puff ball piece, these amatuers are lucky they aren't dead. Are you kidding me at tax accountant, college kid,a bookworm and granola hippie wanna be as pimps. Either they were not profitable enough, lucky, or the clientle was just to high profile/powerfull for organized crime to touch. God was watching over these fools for some reason and getting busted was their wake-up call
