An "investigative report" surveys women [with an N = 1] concluding that higher gas prices are leading normally chaste stay-at-home mom types into a life of sordid vice! I just love these kinds of stories purporting to show the human side of the high price of gas. Accompanied by a video in which the anchor gives a strong sexual content warning, of course. I imagine the pitch the reporter makes to the editorial director as something straight out of Anchorman. Be assured, I link it solely for the sake prurient interests: With the average price of gasoline in these parts at an all-time high of $4.00 per gallon, and food costs rising, some women are entering the world of adult entertainment. This world of quick cash is nothing new to Amber. She stripped for three years in local clubs, but took a break after finding out she was pregnant. She then got back into the profession shortly after gas prices started rising and feeding her child got difficult. "Honestly, there are some days where I just don't eat because I can't afford to go buy food. Especially when it comes to diapers or milk, oh my God."It actually gets worse from there as "Amber" recounts how girls are raped in the VIP lap dance room. Ergo, not only do higher gas prices lead to a life of immorality, they also lead to an increase in rape. QED fellas. QED.
