I can claim to be classy all I wish, but…

Right now I’m watching a Christmas-themed episode of COPS* that begins in Portland and when it’s over the new episode of Jersey Shore is starting.

There’s just something I find too interesting about transgressive trash.

In the photo above is a prostitute named Kristie that the police know by name, who despite being of legal age was mistaken for a 14-year-old by the person who called the police.

When the police showed up the female officer began asking Kristie if the gentleman got his full service for the $60 she charged. The police have arrested her for prostitution five times in the last six weeks, and encourage her to “find another job” (their words, not mine). Man, the world is odd, but I’m glad that the Portland police are that kind of odd and not the kind of odd where they pull over random non-Caucasians and find drugs on them (seemingly every episode in Florida and California).

* I was so wrong. The episode was listed as “Ho! Ho! Ho! #7” but I didn’t get that it’s a prostitute-themed episode until 15 minutes into the show.

ALSO: What the girl Kristie charges $60 for in Portland, the woman in the photo below charges $15 for in Amarillo. Clearly, if you’re going to prostitute, go with the city that you only need to work 1/4 as hard in.
