Report: Still Hard Out Here For A Pimp
Three years after the Three 6 Mafia won an Oscar for their song "It's Hard Out Here For a Pimp," a new study reveals that it indeed is still hard, if not harder, out here for a pimp.

The study, commissioned by the University of Minnesota's Pimp Research Institute, is the result of interviews with the pimps themselves, who paint a bleak picture of the state of pimping in 2009 America.

"After looking at the pimps' concerns and complaints, we can only come to one reasonable conclusion," writes the University of Minnesota's Davis Logsdon, who supervised the study. "And that is, it's still hard out here for a pimp."

4. many of the Craigslist ho's still use pimps
funny story.....

A guy answers an ad for a girl for an incall, and shows up at her hotel room. The door opens and the john goes in. Two minutes later a pimp (I'm guessing from appearances) exits the room. He goes to a car in the parking lot and opens the passenger door. A girl gets out and goes to the room. The pimp leaves and comes back when the john's hour was up. The pimp goes into the room, and a minutes later the john departs the hotel room.

I love hotels with exterior-based rooms.
