Glamorizing Prostitution
While online tonight I had the TV on in the background and I really wasn't paying attention to the channel. It happened to be The Insider.
They had this entire segment about the new Showtime series "Secret Diary of a Call Girl" and then talked about some woman who was a "successful" prostitute who went to jail and is now out of a job because her "business" went bad.
First - since when did prostitutes become celebrities?
Second - I've seen The Insider before and I don't ever remember seeing them promote a TV show on a premium channel like Showtime (maybe the Sopranos near the end) but suddenly they are ALL ABOUT this "call girl" show.
What is up with the obsession with prostitution in the media? It has certainly gotten worse since that NY Governor (Spitzer?) was busted - right after that happened there were endless "call girls" on radio and talk shows being interviewed. I just don't get it.
