8 minutes?

Anyone concerned/curious about that new show on A&E?? I hear it's based here in Houston. Play safely y'all.

I just saw that.

Haven't seen it, don't intend to, but I hear many ladies are quite unhappy with the way it misrepresents women who have chosen to do this as a profession. Most of us are not in dire straights, aren't being trafficked, don't have pimps, treat ourselves and our clients respectfully, don't need to be rescued by God or Man, and don't fall into the same LE-and-media bulltwinkie stereotype of escorts/providers/companions that this show continues to shamelessly perpetuate.

Arts & Entertainment? Check out their schedule. The channel is becoming a cauldron of crime show reruns, sensationalism, and trash reality. I'd say don't waste your time watching this blarney.

It has an episode in Houston. From what I saw they are calling women with ads on backpage.
They were looking for certain items in the pictures, especially women with visble bruising etc.
There were ones who excepted their help and others did not.
Some where clearly under the influence of some sort of substance.

If that is true, then the production company sucks. But I am still unconvinced.

I watched it and im all kinds of confused. First of all, do the pimps really drop them off?

Second, what is with the 8 minutes? I mean dont they book for 30min or 1hr?

Here's an enlightening write-up about "8 Minutes."

http://flavorwire.com/511253/appalli...-with-protests

Per the article, "...the show’s title stands in for the amount of time the sex workers in question are allotted to 'decide' (if they want help) with cameras in their faces and a team pleading with them. (Their permission is granted retroactively). Eight minutes, according to parties involved, is the time that it takes for a pimp to get suspicious. While producers claim such a time limit is about 'safety,' the high-stakes timing does sound mighty enticing to viewers."

Read the article for a better understanding of this trumped-up malarkey.

It's also the record for panda sex.
At least with people watching and recording.


And I guess the reason for this alert?

I watched this last night, I hope they actually help the ladies that want it. The gal named Courtney was fucked up, had a broken rib and was too scared to get out.

I am in disbelief about all the stats they throw around about sex trafficking, I have to call bullshit on most of them, or maybe I am just too naïve.

This show sucks..
Lol@calling all the drivers 'Traffickers'

Lol I was considering being on that show but I figured that it would bring too much attention to me and the board

[Russ38]

Just watched the first episode I had recorded....biggest crock of bullshit I've ever seen, fuck A&E....and to think I could have spent that time watching History Channel or something cool....fuck'em, they shoulda had Geraldo host it instead of the evangelical homo....yeah, it would have still been fake, but at least more entertaining...js
