craigslistTonight Top Topic: Should Craigslist be allowed to run erotic services ads?
 The show started with fred doing his “sexy voice.” (Did any women think it was sexy?)  Then they went into a discussion that Morgan wants Brotha’ Fred to drop the Brotha’ Fred name and to use his real name. She said she is “aging you up.”  to Fred.  Although he did give his real name yesterday I decided not to post it as not sure whether he really wants to use it. Not that it is hidden to the world as he does have it posted in places. Does it matter?
 Since the “Craigslist Killer” (why do we give criminals fancy names that evoke celebrity status?) Philip Markoff and the murder investigation surrounding it became public there are calls coming out against erotic ads on craigslist. Marhoff is accused of robbing two women, killing 26 year old Julissa Brisman by luring them to upscale hotels. He found the women through ads on the craigslist website. John Burgess recently pleaded guily to involuntary manslaughter in California in the death of a woman he met through Craigslist. In Florida police arrested a registered sex offender who advertised on Craigslist for massages even though he did not have a license.
 South Carolina Attorney General Henry McMaster has requested Craigslist take down ads related to prostitution or pornography or face prosecution. They have until May 15 to comply.
 The Edge crew found there are over 1000 ads in the erotic category of Charlotte Craigslist. Many have naked pictures. 
 Fox Charlotte’s
Lyra Manning appeared on the Edge (FIrst time) and talked about Trench Reynolds who has a blog dedicated to crimes and scams related to craigslist. Lyra had a segment on Fox News @ Ten.
 Craigslist does say it donates all proceeds from the erotic ads to charity.
 Morgan pointed out if someone posting an ad includes prices for sexual services – that is prostitution. How is the police not able to go in and get these people? She went on to say We do see some of that.
 Fred mentioned some other sections like the personals offer the same kind of thing. (Makes me wonder how much time fred spends reading personals on craigslist)

After the break we see Fred doing his “white boy dance.” (Hopefully for the last time.)

57360740Kiefer Sutherland assaulted a fashion designer this week. The star of the Fox series 24 turned himself into police. The head-butting incident involed Jack McCollough who is reported to have bumped into Brooke Shields and did not apoligize. Sutherland will be charged with a third degree assault charge. It was discussed that this could be a violation of his probation and could go back to jail for 10 months. There are reports that Sutherland’s lawyers are trying to reach a cash settlement with McCollough.

Two crashes have taken place near where Nicholas Cage is filming an upcoming movie, “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.” The latest crash involes an SUV not involved in the filming,  hit a parked car at 3:28am. Nine people had to be treated for injuries. An earlier accident happend when a ferrari jumped a curb and crashed into a time square restaurant around 1am. Two people were injured. The ferrari was filming a scene for the movie at the time.

As reported on this website earlier, Drew Peterson was arrested this afternoon in the murder of his third wife Kathleen Savio in 2004. Peterson is quoted as saying “I guess I should have returned those library books” as he entered police headquarters.
 Fred brought up that “its perplexing that someone else wants to be with him.” (referring to his fiancie Christina Raines) Morgan responded like last night, “a fiancie with idiot written across her forehead.”

0506_carrie_letter_wm_1Miss California Carrie Prejean has a new job offer – Porno Queen. Vivid entertainment offered Carrie a million dollars to star in an adult film. Vivid executives said they were impressed with her eloquence. Morgan & Fred thought they might be impressed with “two” other things. Fred said she should do it. Morgan “as long as its guy on girl what does she care.” Fred replied as long as its opposite. If same sex porn then its not alright. (Read the letter Vivid sent to Carrie Prejean here as posted on tmz.com)

A woman who has terminal cancer is getting tattoos of all her 20 pets so she can “take them with her to the grave.” Jayne Jubb, 47 who has pets including raccoons, a piranha, reptiles and a fox wants all of them included. Her husband at first thought she was crazy but now is going along with it.

We heard from teh Edge line and some viewers suggested anything should be allowed to advertise on craigslist. Morgan responded to that why not let drug dealers sell drugs. Fred brought up to let people sell their kids. (actually selling kids is specifically not allowed by craigslist.)
