The Legalization of Male Prostitution

The owner of a brothel more than two hours’ drive from Las Vegas said she hopes to hire Nevada’s first legal male prostitutes within a month, now that state health officials have approved a method to test men for infectious diseases.

The world is ready for women, or even other men, to legally buy sex, said Shady Lady Ranch owner Bobbi Davis. Plus, being the first to offer male service could boost business in tough economic times, she said.

“With so many other male revues going on in Vegas, we thought it was time to give this a try,” Davis told The Associated Press.

Until now, men have been effectively barred from legally plying the world’s oldest profession in Nevada by the specificity of a state health law requiring prostitutes to undergo frequent cervical testing for sexually transmitted diseases.

Metaphorically, we are all prostitutes at some point in our lives. We allow ourselves to be pimped by our jobs, the government, and sometimes even those close to us. In a world full of Haves and Have-Nots, the Haves typically slut out the Have-Nots in attempt to get what they desire. Please excuse the imagery of this metaphor. I promise that it's leading somewhere.

The "act" of prostitution really isn't the issue here. The issue is the health of the male prostitutes and the health of the women who wish to purchase sex. I still think its borderline hilarious that a woman would have to pay for sex. Most men are more than willing to have sex with a woman with no strings attached. Brothels do provide a more controlled environment with a guarantee that you won't contract an STI. I am sure their selection of "talent" is better than what you would find at the Epicentre. Therefore, I see why places like the Shady Lady Ranch are appealing to some. Live and let live people...

Ludacris Buys Cars For The People

Jobless for nearly a year, Michael Rivers was about to walk out of his house a few weeks ago to catch the bus for another daylong employment hunt when a radio announcement stopped him.

"This is Ludacris, and I'm giving away 20 free cars. ..."

The famous rapper was pulling an Oprah in his hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. The rapper announced that if listeners were able to pay the taxes, registration, tags and insurance, they should go to his nonprofit Ludacris Foundation Web site and write 300 words about why they deserved new wheels.

Four thousand people took him up on his challenge, and in a few days, more than 2,000 essays poured into the Nissan South dealership in Morrow, Georgia, that had teamed with the rapper on the used-car giveaway.

I'm glad that Chris "Ludacris" Bridges helped some people in need. Dude has a lot of money and he isn't obligated to give it to anyone. His generosity also provided a little help to the struggling auto industry. I realize that the winners of the essay contest received Nissans and that Nissan has been relatively unphazed by the recession. Nissan, however, does have some manufacturing plants in the US. Therefore, the car giveaway did a little something for the American workforce.

There are a few people out there who try to discount Luda's generosity by saying he should have given his money to more "worthy" causes. These people really need to get over themselves. I know that cars depreciate over time, but if you need a ride you don't have the luxury of caring about that. I guess no good deed goes unpunished. All hope isn't lost though. The recipients of the cars were really appreciative and that's all that really matters.
