Next on reality TV: Virgin auction [offensive!]

I expect liberal feminists won't mind this, since they support those formerly known as prostitutes: "sex workers." From the New York Post, today:

A reality show that promises to sell off 3 virgins to the highest bidder is - to say the least - raising a storm of controversy on 2 sides of the Pacific....

The show is the brainchild of an Australian filmmaker, Justin Sisley [pictured above], and will be made for TV there. But, as of yesterday, the show was set to be filmed in NV.

The 3 virgins - 2 women and 1 man - are to be paid $20k each plus 90% of their "sale price" to take part in the auction, according to a report in the Sydney Daily Telegraph.

Australian authorities forced Sisley to move production of the show out of the country, threatening to charge him and the virgins with prostitution if they went through with their original plan.

But in NV, prostitution is legal.

"Technically, I'm selling my virginity for money," a 21-year-old woman named Veronica told the paper. [See Veronica's interview here.]

Technically, that would be classified as prostitution.

"But it's not going to be a regular thing, so in my head I can justify that I'm not going to be a prostitute," she said. "I don't think I'll regret it."

The male virgin, identified only as Alex [pictured right], said he volunteered for the show as a way to meet a woman.

Sisley says the parents of the young people involved "hate me."

According to the casting notice, the show entails "our camera follow[ing] the principal cast... as they shed their virginity to a complete stranger in front of a worldwide audience."

Flyers of the Virgin Mary, with the words "Virgins Wanted," were posted in several Australian cities in recent months, seeking applicants.

"But it's not going to be a regular thing, so in my head I can justify that I'm not going to be a prostitute," she said.

Justify it in your mind, but it doesn't change the facts that even you admit.

And the changing of attitudes motivation is just plain dumb. Becoming a prostitute, even just a part time one won't change anyone's attitudes toward sex. There is a reason prostitution is referred to as the oldest profession...if things haven't changed by now how is one more prostitute going to change the world?

Just be honest, it's about the money. In the interview she talks about millions...so it seems likely the producer has sold a whole story of the millions she'll make.

Exactly! I wonder sometimes just how long Christ will be patient with us. This must be disturbing to Him beyond belief. (Of course, there have been some natural disasters of late -- more than usual? ...)

Not on FR. This is a conservative site and most here deplore the coarsening of society. This isn't enlightening. It is depravity.

"But it's not going to be a regular thing, so in my head I can justify that I'm not going to be a prostitute," she said.

I wonder if the guy will be able to say the same thing if his winning bidder is a dude.

[mlizzy]

It is depravity.

Indeed it is. These girls have it right!!

Hasn't this guy heard of the Interwebs?

What if the highest bidder is a man?

Does this idiot realize the nightmare she could be facing? Think of all the possibilities. The stupidity alone is stunning.

It's unreal. I'm having a hard time figuring out if it's all a sick gag ... or what ...

I thought that I’d just about heard it all but I guess there is a lot more to come as we slide down to the pit of anarchy and hell.

[Osage Orange]

That would suck.........

What she doesn’t realize is that once you’ve done it once, it’s a whole lot easier to justify the next time. Assuming anybody’d want to. But then, there wouldn’t be any money in selling an UGLY virgin.

The devil waits until we're almost completely numb (through his abortion workings), then throws everything immoral at us he's got ... it's *really* troubling how they are using an image of the Virgin Mary to promote this ...

Does he realize the kinds of women (and men!) who would be desperate enough to resort to buying their dates?

She is the epitome of clean and pure. In God's eyes. Even the depraved recognize that. That's why they are using Mary. She is the symbol of purity. Whatever virgin that they get to sell, she won't even be close to being that clean. Contemplating selling yourself has already defiled them. I'm not verbalizing very well what I'm thinking.
