Okay okay, I put this is the "Comedy" section of YouTube, because it was more us messing than a serious advertising idea...Originally Posted by anon163
I admit, in all seriousness, it probably wouldn't be a good idea to try to advertise on bus stops...
However I always like to consider new ideas, and also maybe a part of me would like to be bold enough to advertise on bus stops!
It kinda gets my goat sometimes that we are supposed to keep our heads down here. I mean, of course E-I is an adult site, so we wouldn't want to be advertising it anywhere children would see the ads, but beyond that I sorta would like to be brazen sometimes!
I don't like the way I sometimes read newspaper articles making out E-I is some sort of criminal underworld... It's not, it is consenting adults enjoying themselves, and there is nothing wrong with that... And I think sometimes us lying low feeds the idea that there is something wrong with this website, the ladies listed on it, the men visiting it...
To give an example, a while back I was at a gathering where nobody knew I ran an escort website and somehow the topic of conversation got to escorts... Out of nowhere this well-educated seemingly intelligent Irish lady started saying all this bullshit like "Oh my god, it's terrible those poor women forced to sell themselves and those men abusing them, how can they live with themselves..." I had to interject at that point and point out that, whilst human trafficking is of course a heinous crime, most escorts in Ireland today are not trafficked women and likewise most Irish escort clients have no desire to abuse anyone. It was no good though, this lady was having none of it and hit back telling me she had read all about the escort business, watched tv programmes on it etc, and I was wrong... Nearly all escorts in Ireland today are trafficking victims and the sick men that use these services get a thrill out of abusing them etc. At that point I could have said ""Listen, I was an escort and now and run an escort website, so don't tell me you know it all and I know nothing..." but it wasn't the time and the place so I shut my mouth and instead sat back and listened to all these people talking about the horrifying hooker situation in Ireland today.
Another example, Neil Entwistle, currently on trial for murdering his wife and kid... Last week all the newspapers were full of "Entwhistle Visited Escort Websites!" headlines, and the way a lot of them put it across was as if they thought visiting an escort website was the perfect qualification for being a cold-blooded killer... It just didn't seem balanced reporting, seemed more like some of the journos thought that anyone that visited an escort website must be violent and mentally ill etc.
So what do you think lads and ladies, does anyone else get annoyed sometimes with the negative press this business can get?
Should I take out a series of ads in the Irish Times advising the general public that most escorts are in fact independent women, not trafficking victims, and most escort clients are just normal men who enjoy sex with attractive consenting females, not sick freaks who want to abuse women etc?
