Spitzer scandal
Craigslist cracks down on those "erotic" services.
Craiglist.org announced yesterday it is helping to weed out prostitution from its "erotic services." (Uh oh! We thought that being a lady of the night was a recession-free gig!)
At the behest of attorney generals around the country hoping to regulate prostitution, Craiglist.org asked the posters advertising in their "erotic services" section to provide a valid phone number last March, The New York Times reports.

So far, we like the premise. Dupre … Read More
Helpful reminders from the staff of Men's Health.
My self-inflicted inundation with last week’s Spitzer scandal left me feeling some man hate deeper than call-girl-Kristen’s cleavage. That an otherwise intelligent ex-boyfriend justified the father of three’s romp with a “Those girls were hot” response certainly didn’t help. I was left thinking: Are men at the core un-evolved animals interested only in hopping into bed with as many pretty young things as possible?
