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

Pretty funny site devoted to pictures of children unhappy with being seated next to Santa. The hilarious aspect for me are the expressions on the faces of the Santas who are obviously thinking of everywhere else they'd rather be than here with this screaming little turd-dropper in their lap. Poor kids. Go »
