Givin' It Up To The Man
by Steve West on May 23, 2009
There seems to be several different meanings to that phrase, these days especially.
Meaning 1) A teenage girl in Germany sold her virginity online to an Italian businessman for $18000. She had hoped to raise $100K for schooling, I think.
Meaning 2) Now the German government wants half of her proceeds because of the German law of 50% prostitution tax.
Meaning 3) Now if I understand the business correctly, that would make the German government her pimp. No doubt the taxman will be wearing leather pants and a hat with a feather.

I'm not sure about the cost here....I mean on the one hand it's sad that 18,000 is all that a woman's virtue is worth, on he other, I can't believe that someone feels that their virginity is worth that much

So we got this gift from a mother-in law who shall remain nameless; a "super-mega-nuclear look at me long enough and your face will melt like that guy in Raiders toaster.
