"It's the Jerry Springer news in Louisiana."

I object. JR has the integrity to assert that he is simply an entertainer, and the stuff he puts out is purely theater. He doesn't, for a second, pretend that it is something that it is not.

So it is completely unfair to sully Springer by associating him with the MSM.

She stripped for 3 yeras before? Then took a break when she was pregnant? (Break does not mean quit. Sounds like a forced break.) Then she started stripping again for money? Did she have another job? Did her unemployment run out?

My question on getting this story. Did the WAFB people have to watch the show 3 times to make sure they got the story straight? Kind of like when the police had to watch the show three times to make sure it was obscene. Did they includ scenes of her stripping in the news to keep people watching?

My hunch. The stripper is more honest than WAFB.

I'm just wondering how Ms Amber is going to be able to pay the "poll" tax? 

i mean how low have things sunk that girls are resorting to stripping in louisiana, what next, nevada will get strippers too. 

you can't stand in a puddle of vomit and swing a string of beads in louisiana without hitting a stripper. 

oooooo breaking news........i myself go to work to earn gas money too, and food money, and house bill money, and power bill money, and to pay taxes. hey if i could make my salary by taking off my clothes i garauntee i'd switch my job.

what's the next news story, there was never prostitution before high gas prices.

note i do not call them pole dancers or exotic dancers, ah you're a stripper babe. no need for candycoated artificial self-esteem inflating political correctness there.

i've even heard of accounts of strippers taking off their clothes to pay for a drug habit, but that was only during the clinton era. brahahahahah

nice pic there by the way, great nip shot.

"She says she knows quite a few women who have recently turned to exotic dancing in order to either pay their bills, get through school, or take care of their children."

I know all kinds of people who show up to work - just to pay the bills or take care of their children. If they didn't have to pay the bills, they wouldn't have to work. I'm sure that during Bill Clinton's 1990's there weren't any strippers who were there "just to pay the bills."

We all do what we have to in order to pay the bills. Women (and men) who can justify stripping in order to pay the bills have always been with us. Citing ONE case doesn't come anywhere close to proving that their numbers are increasing due to the price of gas.

Stripping as a profession? Or for gas money? Or is it because the woman wants, needs money and one sure fire way to get it is to strip. As long as your morally anorixic, half way decent looking, dont mind putting your body on display and have no skills to market, stripping is a great way to make a buck to get your fix. You dont need any talent, dont need to count change, stock shelves, ect. Most of the Circle K stores here are looking for help. Convience stores are no more dangerous than working the late shift at the strip. As a matter of fact, it is less so. The gas money line is a load of crap.

Save a SeAL, club a liberal!!

Not all of the dingbats were run out  of here by Katrina. If Amber had gone our IQ rating would have gone up a little. Too bad she didn't know what causes pregnancy.

I hate it when I hear reports and movies about strippers and hookers that make them out to be virtuous women who are forced to to lower their high moral standards for a noble cause.

It is typical of liberals to believe that the ends always justify the means in tough situations. For example, they say that people resort to crime because they are poor. They say that people resort to drugs because life seems hopeless. They say that people resort to terrorism because of social injustice. etc, etc, etc. They justify the most horrific behaviour, even murder, because they are a victim of something.

The truth is, people do bad things because they are bad people, for whatever reason, they are bad people.

Usually women who become hookers and strippers, (yes, most strippers will have sex with you in the back  room for a substantial fee, or they will arrange for a tryst after work), do so because they have extremely low moral standards. Most often they do it to support their drug habit. Often these women are continually allowing themselves to be victimized by men (pimps, boyfriends, bosses, etc.) You might say that I am stereotyping, yes I am, but this stereotype happens to be true in the majority of cases.

Why does the media look for the least likely scenario; a virtuous hooker or stripper and publicize her story? First off, I would not believe the word of a hooker/stripper, they often lie. In the Duke University lacrosse team rape scandal (fabrication), it turned out that the stripper/hooker was lying all along. They found semen from 3 different men in her body, but none from the accused rapists. However the media did not question her credibility and never mentioned that she was a hooker.

Every policeman that I heard calling into talk radio stations said that stripper/hookers often lie to police about being raped. They often threaten men that they will "cry rape" if they don't give them money, drugs or even a ride. The media played up this lying hooker/stripper in Durham NC as if she were a virtuous women, who was forced to strip because of hard times, when the truth was she was a mentally ill, drug addicted woman.

The generalizations that I am making are true for the vast majority of hooker/strippers, yet they constantly make movies about the least likely scenarios for hooker/strippers. For example in "Pretty Women" Julia Roberts was a good, honest, virtuous woman. I was amazed that in the movie she did not accept any money until the end of the weekend. How likely is that. In most cases a woman who is willing to sell her body is also willing to lie, cheat and steal for money, but Roberts was honest and trusting as the day is long. There were times in the movie where she actually turned down money. I don't think that any hooker in history has turned down money from a client.

I have also seen a "made for TV movies" portraying a hooker as struggling single mother who is working her way through school because her husband died and she had no choice. This is a very common theme, there were several movies made along these lines. The truth is that hookers who do have children, rarely take care of them. They are usually taken care of by a family member, the father, or they are wards of the state. They are often taken away from the stripper/hooker because she was an unfit mother, usually because of neglect or because she was a drug addict. 

The movie "Taxi Driver" portrayed a hooker (played by Jody Foster) fairly accurately but if she was rescued in the end(I don't remember) that wouldn't last long in real life because they usually go back to their old habits of drugs and seeking out men that will abuse them. They are often addicted to the lifestyle. 

I would be willing to bet that my stereotypes about hooker/strippers are accurate 95% of the time, yet the liberals in the media and in the arts, almost always portray them as innocent victims with a hard-luck story. The news story about a stripper/hooker that took to "that life" because of the high price of gas is preposterous, but it is not inconsistent that a stripper/hooker would make up that type of excuse, they usually make up rationalizations for their bad behavior. If you research it further, it is likely that she has a criminal record for drugs, prostitution, shoplifting and trespassing. It is also likely that she has a record with the DCFS (department of children and family services). Of course it is possible that she is part of the small minority that doesn't fit that mold, but I do not think that the TV stations budget would be big enough to sift through hundreds of hooker/strippers until they found the right one to fit their template.

Finally some positive news about high gas prices.

Since MSM journalists are a bunch of whores I guess it is reasonable for them to assume everybody else is too.  Did anybody tell them that the USA experienced the lowest crime rate in history during the Great Depression? (excluding of course the the crimespree now known as the New Deal)

And now, it's not only strippers with financial problems...
