Prostitutes In Russia Make Lateral Career Movement to Therapists

Drew Grant — Mon, 04 May 2009 13:18:00 GMT

Mixed feelings about this Washington Post article claiming that Russian men hiring nightly escorts are no longer looking for sex, but rather a shoulder to cry on.

On the one hand: Hey, it's these dude's money, and it's probably awesome for these women to take a break from the endless, cold, har Siberian sex to make ends meet, and to just sit and be a good listener for 45 minutes.

On the other hand: Really? You're going to a prostitute to complain about your shitty economic condition? You know these women aren't just handing out blow-jays because they're bored in the Motherland, right?

Is Dora The Explorer's Weight a Thing?

VIA THE REMOTE ISLAND: Earlier this month, our minds were semi-blown when the newly slimmed down Miss Piggy appeared as a guest on The View, and now it seems even Dora the Explorer is bringing skinny back to Saturday morning cartoons.

Here's a look at the new, sexier Dora...

Our Favorite Leftover Photos of 2008

Brian Fairbanks — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 16:41:00 GMT

While hunting stories on the internet, we often stumble across a photograph that doesn't work as a story in itself. Case in point, this shot of a naked man fleeing the police in Japan, which we included in an utterly irrelevant post about the vicar with the potato stuck in his butthole.

Then there are photos which never get used for any story, yet we can't bear to delete them, so they sit all yearlong in the Nerve Photos folder on our desktop. Because, even this late in the game, we can't bear to dispose of them in the proper computer trash bin, here they are for your insatiable amusement:

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."
