Elderly Amish Man Caught on Film With Prostitute, Blackmailed
When a 75-year-old Amish widower slept with a prostitute, he -- we feel certain -- felt pretty bad about it the next morning. As if that guilt weren't enough for the old man, the prostitute and her boyfriend demanded $67,000 from him, claiming that they had filmed the scene with wall-mounted cameras and would upload the recording to the Internet. The pair was later arrested and, we can only imagine, the Amish man abhorred technology more than ever.
Bank Robber Gets Away With the Help of Craiglist
In October, a bank robber -- wearing a safety vest, blue shirt, face mask and goggles -- eluded police with the help of Craiglist. Just outside the bank, while the robbery was in progress, stood a group of men who were responding to a Craiglist day labor opportunity. As the advertisement required, they were all wearing safety vests, blue shirts, face masks and goggles.
Nude New Zealander Arrested After Responding to Fake Sexy Text Message
Late in 2007, a Wellington, New Zealand man received a racy text message from two anonymous "ladies," giving him only an address and a request that he show up naked. Well, he indeed showed up naked... at the home of one appalled, unsuspecting New Zealander. Both the nude Romeo and the sadistic texter were arrested, though neither were prosecuted.
Fake Craiglist Ad Costs Man Most of What He Owns
Last Spring, a post appeared on an Oregon Craigslist board stating that the owner of a specific house was leaving all of his worldly possessions (still in said house) to whoever wanted them. When homeowner Robert Salisbury rushed home -- on a tip from a woman suspicious about the offer of a free horse -- he found his house being ransacked by 30 strangers. We suggest he take that horse and collect some vengeance Clint Eastwood-style.
17-Year-Old Jailed for Stealing Virtual 'Furniture'
When a 17-year-old Dutch boy hacked into several accounts on the Second Life-style site 'Habbo' in 2007, the the law got involved. The boy was discovered to have stolen $5,800 worth of virtual furniture and knick-knacks. Apparently, crime -- whether actual or virtual -- does not pay.
Phishers Going After Your Phones in New 'Vishing' Trend
Over the past year, sneaky spammers have begun to forsake the worn-out territory of e-mail in favor of cell phones' fertile frontier. The result? "Vishing." Get it? Voice mail phishing. It might be more ominous if it didn't sound like a James Bond villain saying, "Wishing."
Burglars Break Into Restaurant, Steal HDTV, Leave Money / Food Behind
Around Halloween of last year, a truckload of thieves drove into -- that's right, into -- a Pennsylvania Mexican restaurant, where they -- apparently uninterested in the cash register -- stole a mid-grade 47-inch HDTV and fled the scene. We've all heard about how this generation is lacking in ambition, but this generation's thieves, too?

Well, she slept with more than 50 men - every time you sleep with somebody you aren't only sleeping with that person, but every person that they have been with. All I can say is YUCK.... I can't imagine how desperate somebody is to sleep with a bunch of strange men. She could have gotten herself a good vibe and not risked her health. What self respecting men or woman for that matter would even do something like that?

That's only if she wasn't using protection.

Sad woman with self-esteem issues looking for the love she obviously never got growing up. I've nothing against people enjoying their own bodies, but this story inspires nothing but pity. Now to go home and masturbate furiously to furry porn.

I love the homophobes who say thet only GLBT people are promiscus and have sex with multiple partners.
This woman is a perfect example of that hupocripsy she fu(k$ 50 strangers and Switched says what..... "kudos for her"
I bet if it were "Gay / lesbuan/ Trans/ Person sleeps with 50 people from facebook" they would be condemning them. Real double standard I bet in thier Kudos comment they didn't even consider that in this day and age she could have been infected with and passed on clamidia, anti-biotic resistant syphilis, Herpes, and AIDS.
I wonder how many of these 50 were married and I hope the hell they didn't infect thier wives.

Yea because Weblogs are really about the political commentary and voicing their family values on us.
Really you know your posting on a blog and not the NYTimes right?

First off, you know you spelled hypocrisy "hupocrispy" and promiscuous "promiscus"? If you want to write a persuasive paragraph to post on Switched and be taken seriously you kind of have to spell things right. I really just couldn't get past "hupocrispy".
Besides that, I think that the woman has a serious sex addiction and needs to get some help for herself. I mean, really, my lord. Fifty people? That is absolutely repulsive. And if she were a gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, or tranny I would have given the same response.

p.s. really, honestly, i am a bio major and this is in response to the first comment written. if you have sex with multiple people, the person after is not having sex with you and all the other people, they are only having sex with you. the human body does not retain other peoples 'substances' in the body, it kills them just like any other foreign microbe entering the body, it does not store them to share with later partners. however, with the exception of sperm and surrounding fluids, if there does happen to be an std, which usually happens to be a sort of virus, then that one particular virus will continue on to the new host and the rest of the substances will be killed off by your immune system. that myth was spread in hopes of reducing std's as a scare tactic. do i support condoms and safe sex? of course. i am std free and plan to be for the rest of my life but please stop spreading false rumors and use other appropriate forms of birth control such as education and interaction with your children and forming relationships with them.

i dont know if anyone realized it but most of the comments to this article just proved why 'laura' did what she did. she needed sex and she got itas discreetly as possible because of the repercussions. she did the easiest way possible and screened it just like any normal person would do. no person is a slut they are just getting what they need. and honestly people, if you had a std or something going wrong with your lower level would you really go out on a mission to perform sexual acts? didnt think so.

oxygen...thanks for saying what I was thinking. What is wrong with our society is that we always judge people about their actions. The last time I checked we all have free will.
I want more sex said 3:51PM on 6-22-2009
I think is great that she found so many man to satisfy her desires.
I love orgies and my best one was one that I actually had sex with 15 man and 5 woman. It was a long party with lots of big ..... so .. go for it .
Orgies are great because if a man is too small you can switch to others as never stay hungry you leave once you had a looooott :) and if you haven tried lesbian sex ...... you are missing some very intense orgasms.
