Accepted Trade in Humans??

Obviously the TV-documentary I saw last week about sex-tourism in Thailand was just one in a series of documentaries on the theme. Today it was about sex-tourism on some Caribbean Island where I think most of the women working there came from Venezuela and most of the men were US-American tourist.

It was just so disgusting!! The men could book a “girlfriend” in advance so she was waiting for him on arrival. Or when they arrived the girls were lined up for a “casting”. If he was not satisfied he could complain and have her exchanged for a new one or maybe even get two for the price of one!!! And when one of the girls got her period the customer got really upset and complained until he got another one. How the hell do these men work?!!?!? Most of them even seemed to think what they did was ok enough to have their face and names shown on TV. And of course most of the men were terribly obese, ugly and disgusting in every way and the way they talked about the girls, as things… Horrible!! What is wrong with these men?!!? And what is wrong with our society that lets people treat people that way??!?! I did not believe slavery was still allowed.

I remember when I read Platform of Michel Houellebecq, I found it rather provoking, but now I realise he more or less only described what is already reality, although in his book it was more of a mutual thing. This was not!
