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.
I can name several cities he won’t be filming in!
Okay, why should I pay 20 thousand (US or Aussie?) plus the winning bid for a virgin, when I can bag one myself for a fraction of the cost?
Because not everyone can. Which leads one down the path to what will be bidding for these idiots.
He would quickly discover that losing one's virginity can sometimes be a big @$$-pain.
Perhaps not all it's cracked up to be, and that is saying a mouthful!.
I say we take up a collection and buy Helen Thomas this 21 year old virgin.
How do you know Thomas is not a virgin as well? I mean, who would hit that, even when young?
i didn’t say it was enlightening. i basically said, i don’t care if they sell themselves to the highest bidder. that is their business. they will do what ever they do and it really is between them and God. i don’t think being conservative gives me the right to judge how other people live their lives.
You have the right to judge what is right and what is wrong. God expects us to know the difference. A moral society expects us to know the difference. Live and let live is anarchy.
My advice to him would be to stay out of the homosexual bars.......
What if the highest bidder is a man?
That's what the little giggolo is hoping for..........
"Me! Pickmepickmepickme!"
I thought Eaker deleted that picture of himself?
Yes, but too many of such young folks still engage in oral sex and/or “lose it” when they leave home and go to college.
I hope for the lil’ dude’s sake you aren’t high bidder.
Hasn't this guy heard of the Interwebs?
Call me old-fashioned, but what happened to getting to know a girl, maybe passing a note to her, and getting her phone number to ask for a date?
Heck, how about good old fashioned chloroform?
The only question is, will they do it here, or are they gonna have to drag Big Boy back to Russell’s old room.
