09.11.09 WOMEN RESCUED FROM AWESOME CRIME

turkish-big-brother

Buckle your sweatpants, everybody, because this is the awesomest crime you’ll read about until someone burns down the old folks’ home. A group of nine women in Turkey who thought they were on a “Big Brother”-style show were actually just “conned into frolicking naked and engaging in cat fights” — photos of which were sold online.

A military police spokesman said the women – most of them models from the Mediterranean resort of Antalya and the Aegean port city of Izmir – had been held captive for around two months.

The women had responded to an advertisement looking for contestants for a reality show that was to be purportedly aired on a major Turkish television station. The group, including a teenager aged 15 or 16, were selected after being interviewed…

They were not abused or harassed sexually, but were told to wear skimpy bikinis, to dance by the swimming pool and were encouraged to get into fights with one another, reports said. [Telegraph]

Listen, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: duping women into imprisonment is WRONG, okay?  But c’mon: you have to admire the absolutely asteroid-sized BALLS it takes to do this. Because most men have had this thought before: “Man, wouldn’t it be awesome if I had a whole house full of models and just made them dance around in bikinis all day?” But nobody ever actually makes it happen. Well, except rappers. But their methods aren’t nearly as impressive.

I thought this was the point of most of these types of shows. Please, explain to me the difference, aside from the fact it wasn’t “aired”. I don’t know about you, but I call that a “pilot”.

“encouraged to get into fights with one another”

I would also have encouraged them to shower with one another, shave one another, and perform oral sex with one another.

flubby, thanks for getting that song stuck in my head for the resy of the day.
