How Are We Going To Make Our Weekend Booze Money Now?!

It looks like some of us will have to start selling that ass the old-fashioned way, because Craigslist is shutting down their "Erotic Services" section. Windex your lucite heels, because it's back to the ho stroll we go! Save us a cushy place near the back alley dumpster. Sigh.

Craigslist made the announcement today after several state attorney generals were about to file criminal charges against them for allowing whores to peddle their wares on the site. The category will remain for 7 days, but they aren't accept any new ads. Instead, they have created the "Adult Services" category for legal vendors. Craigslist will review each ad before approving to make sure any illegal ho stuff doesn't pass.

I understand why they are doing this, but the "Erotic Services" section had some of the best ads! I would laugh and get turned on at the same time. Although, maybe this is good news. I haven't seen a raggedy, low-down dirty hookah walking the streets in a while. I blame Craigslist for this. So now that Craigslist will no longer tolerate ass vendors on the site, maybe we'll see more elegant prostitutes stumbling along the sidewalk at 2 in the morn.

I've met craig newmark ...the craig of craig's list....
I rather doubt anything will happen except that it moves into
the personal's section which'll make it more dangerous
for people just looking to meet others...typical stupid american
overreaction making things even worse

LOL. SUCKS FOR THE GUYS :p. My thoughts on this are that they will probably just start advertising in order sections, but I do think it was the appropriate thing to do it was almost like putting a illegal drug section in the "for sale" section of craigslist lol i'm surprised they were able to keep it open this long.

...what's funny is when you know someone who actually responds and falls for one of those "adult" ads. I had a male friend in college who thought he was repsonding to a "Male Model Search" and when he got to the location it was a shoot for a gay foot fetish film LMAO...anyways, I'm typing this on my new bed that I ordered I got off of CraigsList and its also where I found my current job, so it's not all bad :)

That's who the Craigslist Killers were going after - these illegal hos...

Best of Craigslist - nothing better.

I'll never forget the woman who was renting out her "VERY LARGE" bathroom as a bedroom. You had to be out when she wanted to use it and you weren't allowed guests and if you were home - you had to stay in there. Nice.

That lady sounds like the most elegant land lord in the history of ever. "Please leave, I have to take a shit" you don't get much classier than that, my friend.

Well, that's just crap.

I guess CL is doing for the "Youth of America (TM)".

I got dibs on that filthy mattress by the broken glass. Just cause my feet hurt from Ho Strolling (TM), doesn't mean I like broken glass grounded into my knees.

I totally love Missed Connections, people who put ads on there are completely delusional and hilarious at the same time! Desperation is the world's worst cologne ( from movie, Singles).

I would rather count the wrinkles on my dog's balls than sit on a jury.
