Greetings!

Please forgive me if I have no sympathy for her. A lot of other people work, struggle, save and do everything they can to get an education. Many have loans and debt that follow them for years afterward.

She chose to prostitute herself for the cash, rather than try to earn the money legally. The fact that she claims it went so much against her morals only shows that she is willing to sell out more than just her body. And the public method (ebay auctions, private auctions, appeals to the media) only goes to show that she wanted as much press coverage, interest and exposure that she could get. The only thing missing was the webcam, to prove that it was actually happening.

Well, she got what she wanted: money, publicity, etc. She has to live with her choices. Somehow, I don't think she will have too much trouble doing so. But I suspect that we will all hear from her again. Interviews of how "horrible" it was. Perhaps a blog telling of how she spent the money. Perhaps an appeal to pay for her friend's tuition. Perhaps she will make a career out of this. After all, once you sell yourself like that (physically, morally, ethically) it then just becomes a matter of price.

Edit: This is, of course, assuming the entire thing wasn't completely fake - just a publicity stunt. If that is the case, I hope some newspaper did buy the rights, and loses on their purchase. A rather strange piece of fiction. And who more anonymous as a "buyer" - a BT employee...
