What is the World Coming To

The governor of New York, Eliot Sptizer, had to resign yesterday due to his involvement in a high-class prostitution ring. This is very upsetting when you consider he was one of the hardest on crime and prostitution, serving as the Attorney General of New York for several years. However, is that what people are focusing on? Nope, instead they world has its eyes on the 22 years old hooker who he got caught soliciting. In the phone call her name was "Kristen," but now as the entire public knows it's Ashley Dupre. The first probe into her was through, what else, her My Space, page. The news then regaled us with information about her desire to become a singer, and other uninteresting tidbits. The sad part is, she is gaining fame from this. Her shitty song is getting radio play and she is now charging $0.98 a download. She had two friends, wannabe Hip-Hop artists, surprise surprise, on the Today show. I mean how slimy can you get, trying to get something out of a prostitution scandal. Is this what the world has come to? Its not just the dollar that continues to weaken, our moral standards have too.

Hookers that bring down politicians and their friends become mini celebrities? And to top it all off, they keep interviewing her friends and family and they keep saying things like we're supporting her, blah blah blah. Seriously, supporting the hooker. As though she just went though she is some poor girl the governor took advantage of. I feel like everyone has forgotten that this girl was charging $4000 a night for sex. How does that make her worthy of any fame, if anything she should be mocked to show girls around the world that being a skanky whore does not pay. She had the nerve to say she didn't want people to think she was a monster. I just have to say I didn't even know who she was until she came out with that interview and now she is all over the place. The girl is trying to gain from this scandal, and if she succeeds then the young girls in America are doomed. Doomed to live in a nation that values women who are stupid, slutty, and morally depraved.
