    - I think it's got a high chance of being fake, too. It's just really damn funny. And disgusting, just from a hygiene standpoint. - Beryllium Jan 10, 18:40
- I 100% agree but this is funnier. -- nm - Reagen Jan 10, 18:28
- I find the sex stuff funny (aside from the whole exploitative aspect of prostitution), the rest of it is much more concerning. - mafic Jan 10, 18:20 3
  - yeah, can't disagree. and i did not read the whole report, really, because i would rather let this all settle a bit before i jump into it. but... - x Jan 10, 18:24 2
