"PG" was originally - and still is - an acronym for "Parental Guidance (advised)." So, if you think references to escorts are a problem here among us adults, just get out there and guide your parents. Then all will be well again, except for hopeless prudes. But there is an alternative for them: www.pbs.org/barney.

Advertising for escorts is PG. Adult adverts can be presented in a PG fashion.

Earth generally, escort ads appear in umpteen newspapers, as does advertising for lapdancing bars, you must live on planet puritan if this doesn't happen in your vicinity.

*sighs and wonders if this will be what the future holds in store for SL, where just the idea of adult activity will offend people enough to make an issue of it.



Jiminy Crickets Woman! I agree with you on this one!

Next time someone asks you "What are you thinking?" Be careful what you say. They may report you for it.


Kinda makes you think "Would a nuclear strike be SO bad??" :D

then why are people posting stuff like "how to start working as an escort" in "employment ops & help wanted"?

on an average day, 90% of the "employment classifieds" are for sex workers in the wider sense of the term...



The ad for an escort is not adlut hun.

Now if they were discribing sexual acts that is adult or mature

Same as advertising adult events is still pg.

I tried to respond to this thread many times, each turning into a tedious essay. I guess if I want to pontificate like that I should start my own blog. This is not the place for it.

:(
Sigh . . .

I would say that asking how to get a job as an escort is acceptable within PG. Giving an answer would be too.

But describing in detail the sorts of things escorts might be expected to do is not PG!!!

If the mother has those words on her screen, and lets her child read them, most normal people would call her an unfit mother.

I wonder if this question would ever have been asked before the announced changes to adult content.

The newspaper does it so it must be legal and PG.

and the real problem here is that they were knowingly (this could be argued) supporting activities that were illegal where they operate... it wasn't the ad's themselves in question, it was the illegal activity supported by the ads.

if any of the ad reps made a statement to the effect of "we can't advertise prostituion, but we can advertise escort services" I imagine they'll be off the hook.

@general discussion
that's PG, not G. if you could talk about it in your grocery store, it can be discussed here.

Nope its adapt or die....

Being forced to adapt theres always a way to end run 'legally'.


banned?
buy a new computer...
local area banned?
remote access connection thru host computer with new computer.
now it they ban the whole country then it might be a little harder.


giggle


there better be a list of EXACT words listed that are not acceptable..
sigh.....
doesnt matter.
its all going to be a nigthmare anyway no matter how its sliced.
