Sell Yourself...Just Cash in!

Recently a British college student, deeply in debt, decided to sell her virginity over the web for £8,400. While I do not agree with this act, I feel this was the wrong way to relive her debt. What happened to working off debt? This is sadly an easy and risky way out. There is another thing that troubles me about this story. Most of the news stories (such as News of the World) have emphasized the fact the student is a lesbian. I feel this does not matter. Would the media have flaunted the fact the student was [insert favorite adjective here]? I don't know.

In the end, this story proves to me that people sell themselves out when the going gets rough. Sad, sad, indeed.
