Mr. Schwarzenegger, tear down that website
The British minister for women and equality, Harriet Harman, has asked The Governator to shut down Punternet.com, a website that allows men to discuss and rate prostitutes, many of whom are located in the UK. The best part is that her request openly mocks Schwarzenegger.
“Surely it can’t be too difficult for ‘The Terminator’ to terminate Punternet and that’s what I am demanding that he does.” Now if that’s not diplomacy, I don’t know what is. Harman made the request of Schwarzenegger because the site is apparently based in California.
It’s also interesting to note that prostitution is legal in Britain. There are a whole lot of things associated with sex work that is illegal, like soliciting and “curb crawling,” but two consenting adults transacting for sex…no problem.
One of Punternet’s moderators has put together an open letter to Harman. You can read the letter on their website.
