The Miss USA pageant, in case you missed this news shocker, is offering Web photos of contestants featuring what might be called stripper chic. The young women pout and preen in fishnet stockings, bustiers and lots of cleavage.
Donald Trump, owner of the Miss Universe organization, of which Miss USA is a part, defended the photos to Entertainment Weekly on May 11. "We are in a different age. They are a little bit sexy but I'll tell you what--everybody's watching, so I have no problems with it," he said. "If you look at Miss America, it's now off network television--and we're doing better than ever, so I really have no problem with it."
That kind of money spawns all kinds of reasons to ignore the negative consequences. An April 2009 national high-profile story about a young woman murdered in Boston by a man she had solicited on Craigslist might have seemed like good grounds to put the site's erotic ads on pause. But no such cleanup effort appears to have arrived. Craigslist is expected to improve its profitability 22 percent this year, due to the personal ads.

Who knew a blood-sucking, undead, demonized creator of the night could be soooo sexy.
Ever since the uber popular movie Twilight, vamp story lines have been all of the rage in Hollywood. But now, it have become redundant. Television channel have become bombarded with vampire (and now werewolf) inspired shows.
This isn't the first time though, anytime something becomes popular people continue to agg it on. Now almost every channel has either a vampire or jersey shore like tv show.
But why do we do this as a society? We make raping, thieving pirates looks hot and wonderful. Do we glamorize and exploit cake making, beauty pageants and little people all for our entertainment?
I don't know, being a vampire may look awesome. They sure do have a lot of sex!Who knew a blood-sucking, undead, demonized creator of the night could be soooo sexy.... more
