Apparently, people aren't really sure why wildlife in the Gulf of Mexico are dying.

We all know the truth, of course.

This is just too sweet.  The headline reads:

"Spider-infested ship turned away from port
Thousands spill out as cargo is unloaded; vessel last docked in South Korea"

Craigslist and the Sex Industry (NSFW): http://www.spreadmagazine.org/2010/02/01/whores-and-other-hackers/

Christ they're as high and mighty as the politicians that put pressure on them. Why in the fuck is someone trying to glamourise the notion of sticking your legs in the air while a 300 pound man tries his best to hump between them? The sex industry has always been tinged with other criminal activities, it has always had a strong relationship with violence and still to this day is illegal in most countries. Now I'm not saying the ads should be taken down but I think anyone that calls prostitutes the grand innovators of history needs to make sure that the necrotising fasciitis hasn't spread to their brain.

The article makes an interesting point about Craigslist cutting out the middle-man in the sex industry. Now instead of going through a pimp or a service you can go directly to the source. Nothing like free market sex workers.

As horrible as it sounds does the pimp not present a genuine threat to the potentially violent trick? Take Dolemite for example; not all hoes know kung-fu.
