9. lol. yes, exactly...

sadder still is the fact that pimping isn't universally agreed upon as a "negative."

somehow, the definition of a pimp has shifted in society, (particularly within youth culture) from being a negative to a positive (....he's a player!) the stigma associated w/pimping has somehow lifted--making it not so bad to be viewed as a pimp. (snoop, the pimp cups and outfits didn't help, imo). now it's glamourous, slick, cool, etc. (how disturbing is that?)

televising the exploits of places like "the bunny ranch" (the nevada brothel) hasn't helped much, either.

speaking of tv, something is very wrong with a network that creates a show called, "pimp my ride," imo. :eyes: as if to say, to "pimp" is just another way of saying "make something better." :banghead:

so sick and sad.
