Interesting Salon article:
Candy from strangers
Teen girls flash some skin on their “cam sites,” and fans shower them with gifts. Who’s exploiting whom?
and then an emotional (and convincing) rebuttal from one of the “camgirls” (god that’s a gross word) interviewed in the story. It’s always good to be reminded that journalists are far from infallible.
I’m prolly just showing my age here (24 – haa!), but it’s an enormous relief that the internet wasn’t around when i was in high school. I didn’t think so then but now i realize, it sure coulda been worse.
