Craigslist Prostitutes Get Caught

Cyber cops are cracking down lately on Craigslist prostitutes. Hardly surprising, the community lent itself well for lining up late nights with latex. Blogger "College Call Girl" confesses that she wouldn't have gotten into prostitution otherwise: "Craigslist just made it so easy..". Unfortunately, Craigslist also made it so easy for any cop to easily bust these blog babes. Nassau County has made more than 70 arrests since it began focusing on Craigslist last year according to the New York Times. “Craigslist has become the high-tech 42nd Street, where much of the solicitation takes place now,” said Richard McGuire, Nassau’s assistant chief of detectives. “Technology has worked its way into every profession, including the oldest.”

Jessica Alba Struts For Science

Even scientists get distracted at work with sex. If it's not browsing the latest Suicide Girls blogs and babes, it's analyzing what specifically makes Jessica Alba sexy. Apparently, the academics at Campbridge came to a scientific conclusion: Alba's attractive walk makes our tails wag. "It is the ratio between hips and waist that puts the sway into a woman’s walk - and the nearer that ratio is to 0.7, the better,” the Telegraph reported. “This ratio provides the body with the right torso strength to produce a more angular swing and bounce to the hips during the walking motion.” This may in fact be the geekiest way to try to tell a girl she has a good body.

Futuristic Fetishes Obtain Ubergeek Status

Wired released their list of Futuristic Sexual Fetishes earlier this year but it was worth a repost for anyone wanting to be a true early adopter. The lustful list included fixations such as High-G, Alien, Hyperspace, Nanotechnology and Artificial Intelligence. From sexual algorithms to nanomachines, the article attempts to predict our techfetishes in a series of finite fantasies. We can only hope that our future will be more flavorful than programming AI porn.

A few days ago a story started making the rounds about a lady who placed a craigslist ad offering to trade sex for a flying epic mount or at least the 5000 gold required to buy one. While buying gold is clearly a violation of the TOS, this situation isn't specifically called out in the rules. Her toon is Horde on Uther which puts 5000 Gold at a street value of about $639.45. As you can imagine this story made it to just about every WoW related forum on the web with people taking special note of the photo the poster included, especially her bangs. We all pointed, laughed, and assumed that was the end of it.



We were wrong.Very, very wrong.

Apparently some strapping young nerd took her up on the offer, threw down the loot, and got a mount of his very own. We know this because she posted a new listing on craigslist bragging about it and showing pics of her newly purchased flying epic mount. Of course it was filled with a lot of rubbing-it-in-your-face-shit and ended with these words for all her critics:

I wonder what I could get for some pre-BC BOE purples I've got collecting dust in the bank?
