High Class College Hooker: No One Understands Me

Scanner Matt — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 17:23:00 GMT

A Pennsylvania college student has recently written a very detailed account of what she calls her "mutually beneficial arrangement," but we call blatant prostitution.

The Daily Beast ran an essay last week written by a young woman who sees turning "classy" tricks as the best way to deal with college debt and making connections to benefit her non-hookerish career.

From the outside, a mutually beneficial, or sugar daddy, relationship seems immoral. Maybe even the distant cousin of—dare I say it?—prostitution. But truth be told, women have used their wiles and charms to get ahead for years.

We assume she's watched Pretty Woman one too many times (we still can't believe people like that fucked-up movie).

After she published her piece many readers commented, criticizing her as a two-bit call girl. So now she's back again defending her whorish ways in response to her judgemental public.

We know college is ridiculously expensive and some miserable marriages may arguably fall under the unintentional arrangement of prostitution, we've also read Madame Bovary, but in this case the line does not look as blurry as this young coed would like, especially when she talks about her, "new killer wardrobe."

By now, we all know the Obama Ode Yes We Can by heart and have seen the video starring John Legend, Amber Valletta, Common, Scarlett Johansson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Herbie Hancock and other stars in the Obama video a dozen times. But what about the Obama music videos made by Amigos de Obama? They don't just use the Sí se puede motto created by César Chávez, Dolores Huerta and the United Farm Workers. They're actually en español and in two authentic styles: Mariachi and Reggaeton. So check them out:
