Christian News Wire: craigslist MUST do away with explicit ads!

[Bluebear]

SCOTTSDALE, Arizona, Feb. 6 /Christian Wire Service/ -- CEO of Christy Media and Publisher of The Church Report magazine, Jason T. Christy, urges Craiglist to stop supporting illicit sexual ads. “In a recent review of www.craigslist.org. I was shocked to see that this online resale and job site has extensive illicit sexual ads in a section labeled, erotic. Thousands of people view the site every day in search of a job, a used car, furniture and many other items—is it necessary to promote women offering lewd acts for money?”, said Christy.

“I have corresponded with the both the president and founder of the web site. It was clear from the answers to my questions, that Craigslist has no problem with the posting of sexually explicit ads, even those offering services for money.” I am urging my readers and my online community to contact Cragislist and tell them that used cars and escorts do not belong on the same page!”

:rofl: It could have gone on: "I combed through the ads, making sure I read each and every one, especially in the areas of no-strings-attached casual sex, and was OUTRAGED to see how explicit people could be! I got the phone number of a lady in Alabama, say amen, just to test how this website works, and when I called her she started to have phone sex with me! The next day I wandered over to the 'men seeking men' page and decided to respond to an ad, hallelujah, just for research sake. I met a man or two to see how pervasive this Sodomite website was in our society and when the first guy got into my car he immediately started to have sex with me! When I met the second guy, we checked into a Best Western because I wanted to see if the first time was just an accident or if people are really meeting sexual partners on the internets, and when we got into the room , AGAIN---the man started to have sex with me! Now, this is twice in one WEEK! This webpage MUST be stopped!!!!"

1. Fuck them up the ass with a knobby stick.

How's that?

[CottonBear]

2. For peopel who claim to be so prudish and pure

they spend a lot of time thinking about and talking about other people's bodies and sex lives.

What a freak this Christy man is. :(

3. LOL

"I was shocked to see that this online resale and job site has extensive illicit sexual ads in a section labeled, erotic."

[Bluebear]

5. SHOCKED! Shocked, I tells ya! nt

[NYCGirl]

8. They obviously have no idea what the word "erotic" means. NT

[Skinner]

9. I just went to Craigslist and clicked on the section labeled "erotic"

and here's what I found:

craigslist > erotic services > warning & disclaimer

unless all of the following 4 points are true, please use your "back" button to exit this part of craigslist:

1. I am at least 18 years old.

2. I understand erotic services may include explicitly sexual content.

3. I am not bothered by explicitly sexual content.

4. By clicking on the erotic services link below, I will have released and discharged the providers, owners and creators of this site from any and all liability which may arise from my use of the site.

http://www.craigslist.org/cgi-bin/personals.cgi?category=ers&SID=

So, apparently this asshat 1) went to the craigslist website, 2) clicked on the section called "erotic," 3) was presented with a clear warning page to let him know that he was going to see explicit sexual content, and 4) then he clicked to enter.

And he's shocked to find sexually explicit content there. Shocked enough to post a press release about it.

What an ass.

13. And now every fundie who reads that press release

will have to go check it out, too. "My hand and mouse became possessed! I was powerless to stop myself!"

4. What the hell are pious Christians doing reading the sex ads

anyway? Shouldn't they be reading their BIBLES???

I just wonder how much longer it's going to take the majority of people in this country to get sick and tired of being pushed arond by these blue nosed hypocrites and start fighting back.

16. Ezekiel 23 is about voluptuous hookers and their

well-endowed men who have "emissions like that of a horse". Then there is the tale of the twins who refused to swing with the gay guys but instead got their dad drunk and rode his baloney pony all 'til sunrise.

Maybe they are just bored with the bible and wanted something a little more hardcore.

6. Ha ha, love the "it could have gone on" part, thanks BB

:rofl:

[drm604]

7. It doesn't sound like this guy has spent much time on the internet.

Not if that's the thing he chooses to be offended by. :eyes:

[karlrschneider]

10. Looks like "Jason" didn't bother to read the disclaimer

http://www.craigslist.org/cgi-bin/personals.cgi?category=ers&SID=

[MindPilot]

11. If the cartoon of thine prophet offends thee...DON'T LOOK AT IT!!!

You know, Mr Christ-y you can go to other places to look for whatever it is you are looking for. Unless of course, you were actually looking for "women offering lewd acts for money". You could--instead of demanding like your Islamic brethren that the entire world conform to your version of morality--start your own Christian list.

Or maybe you could just STFU.

And the last time I looked an Escort IS a used car.

[gkhouston]

12. I wonder what kind of furniture they're selling

on the erotic page. Damn, I might just have to go over there and get hubby a present for Valentine's Day. :evilgrin:

[TlalocW]

14. "used cars and escorts do not belong on the same page"

What if it's a used Ford Escort?

TlalocW

[Bluebear]

15. Sh-doom BAH! nt

[MindPilot]

18. Hey, you took my joke!!

TlalocW stole my escort joke!! I want something done...I don't know what yet. :D

[ComerPerro]

17. outraged? or aroused?

hypocrites...

:rofl:

[arcane1]

19. I don't think there is a difference, when dealing w/this bunch

nothing turns a fundie on quite as much as outrage

[Bluebear]

22. It's their best aphrodesiac, to be hopping mad abobut something. nt

[davidinalameda]

20. but used cars and escorts do belong on the same page

you're probably gonna end up getting screwed either way

[GreenPartyVoter]

21. What's it to them what's on Craigslist? Does Craigslist get to demand

the Christian Wire service to pull all of their offensive "news" stories? (Which would be all of them, I guess.)

[madrchsod]

23. watch your kids better dumb ass!

but on the chicago site site someone was offering "teen age jack off" with an image from the cd on the music-dvd section. it was flagged and taken down. there were also black velvet paintings of nude men with rather large penises that were posted on the regular paintings site. those were probably removed because the pictures were incredibly tacky.. christy should worry about making sure his flock isn`t engaging in mortal sin instead of the people on craigslist

[Virginia Dare]

24. Oh geez, what a putz! EOM

[BushOut06]

25. Thanks! I never knew about that site, but I do now!

Way to go Christians! Your protests just got Craigslist another fan! They even have it for Orlando, woo-hoo!

[arcane1]

26. Craigslist kicks ASS!!!!
