Everybody does it!

 

Have you ever heard of backpage.com? It is a classified advertising website used to sell auto parts, furniture, boats, and girls -- many of them minors. It is owned by the alternative Village Voice Media which also owns The Dallas Observer.

 

Backpage accounts for about 70% of prostitution advertising among five websites that carry such ads and earns more than $22 million annually from those ads. When confronted about their sex trade, a Village Voice spokesman said it was "shortsighted, ill-informed and counterproductive" to focus on Backpage when other websites were involved. So I guess she's saying that it really doesn't matter that what they are doing is immoral as long as other media outlets are doing it too.

 

Alissa, one of the young victims of Backpage advertising, says for Backpage to make millions off these young girls is "like going back to slave times." Don't you wonder why the liberals and the NOW gals aren't incensed by this? Could it be because they are afraid to hold a gay media outlet accountable?
