Meta - Escorting

[Wakka Wakka]

Traditionally we've seen regular newspaper stories where a journalist visits an escort and then 'makes his excuses and leaves' and this gets a two page colour spread in the Sunday papers.

Today we've had the situation where a newspaper invents an escort profile and prints the messages that profile received while the listing was up.

All the while their excuse isn't titillation but to expose the sordid world of the sex industry in this country in advance of the proposed legislation.

So are we heading for the inevitable scenario where this website is populated solely by fake clients making contact with fake escorts while the rest of us move on somewhere else?

Think that's already happening.
