You've Got to be Effin' Kidding Me...

Pun oh so very much intended....

Really, sometimes this, still very much European, girl can't help but shake her head over the absurdity of what is considered 'news worthy' in her adoptive country (I love this country OK? If not, I would have gone back to L'Europe a long time ago. But just because I've been a legal, tax paying, alien since Spring of 1993 doesn't mean I completely 'understand' this place...).

So look what's the Most Viewed Newsweek Web Exclusive article...

Here's a, particularly juicy, quote:
"In Nevada, the world's oldest profession has been very lucrative. In a typical year, legal brothels generate about $50 million in total revenue and have an economic impact of about $400 million on the state. But in the last 18 months the industry's cash flow has taken a dive. Why? Like other businesses around the country, bordellos throughout the state are feeling the pinch of rising gas prices and a weak economy."

WTF?????? Yes, THAT'S considered news... Well, excuuuse me for not getting all 'hot and bothered' about it..

Psst, Newsweek, how 'bout reporting on something that WILL have an impact on the economy for generations to come? Like the TRULY scary increase in autism rates?????

But then again, SEX sells.... very ill kids with autism do not.... (unless, of course, you're a BIOSTITUTE..)
