I am as far from being a prude as you can imagine. But I'm sick of watching Anderson Cooper, etc. etc. interviewing "the King of Pimps," "author and former sex worker ..." etc ... commenting on the Eliot Spitzer story.

"Kristen" will have a music contract before the week is out, I'm sure.

Between reality-show denizens becoming famous for merely doing something disgusting on TV, and all the pimps and hos becoming famous because they can comment on Eliot Spitzer ... well, i'm just sick of it.

And yes, I'm turning the channel.

2. Hey being a prostitute is now a responsible career move!
All you have to do is boink someone famous, and you sell a million copies of your shitty song on MS!

4. Bread and circus... keep the peeps distracted from real news
mission accomplished

By the way, it prevents them from talking about the economy and how the dow is not doing well, yada, yada, yada

So this bread and circus was a god send, no pun

5. Andy Warhol would've said...
"in the future everyone will be a pimp or a whore for 15 minutes".

10. Me neither. Yet another reason for me to never watch TV--as if TV
wasn't already vacuous, overly materialistic, and mind-numbing already.
